Outdoor Items Questions

Post by HeyItsEggs » Mon May 08, 2017 6:10 pm

So I have a question and someone has an answer.
So my town sprays for mosquitos, but they haven't sprayed since last June. Can I still use things from outside? Can I wash them to make sure?
Thanks so much

On one hand i say yes as its almost been a year since they last sprayed, so you think that these compounds used have become inert. However on the other hand, the trees could absorb the chemicals not to mention that these chemicals do have a short "working life". Maybe see what your town uses and from there work out the active ingredients/longevity?

Well, I would be using pieces of driftwood that we got from the beach, that my mom had sitting around the bushes out front.
