    Fogging works. Check this site:

    http://www.dynafog.com/home.html

    I have had the Trailblazer for a few years now.

    http://www.dynafog.com/foggers/pje/t...azer/index.htm

    I use a permethrin insecticide mixed in diesel fuel as the carrier for fogging. Odor goes away real quick and it doesn't take care of all the pests because they are everywhere in the grass, bushes, and woods, but it does reduce their annoyance.
    Got the chems from this place

    and I see they have changed their website. I got enough of the stuff to last me years but the chems weren't cheap. The fogger I found on Ebay. There are all kinds of foggers out there so something may be right for you.

    That DIY Pest Control site is an excellent resource, Al. Thanks for posting it.

    Your fogger is impressive. I think I'll go with a pump sprayer and some chemical warfare around the pool in the always wet areasand at least try to control their breeding habitat.
