We've been keeping an eye on cases of the deadly Mosquito virus eastern equine encephalitis. Now we have our first case of sickened animals in Minnesota.
It was a cold, wet winter, followed by a quick warm thaw for the Northland. This weather has created the ideal conditions for ticks and mosquitoes to thrive.
Well-known radio show host Paul Harvey supposedly talked about a mosquito spray you could make yourself. I could not find it, at least not the one he talks about. When I searched recipes, I found one very close that homeowners have been using for 20 years.
