Mosquito tips from Carmichael and experts
After years in the mosquito control business George Carmichael in New Orleans advises staying indoors with doors closed and wearing light long sleeves when outside. He endorses standard repellents and tobacco smoke, dismisses garlic eating, and notes zappers offer little protection while recommending yellow outdoor lighting to deter mosquitoes. Entomology professor Amy Olson adds cranella oil torches and explains how mosquitoes seek blood via carbon dioxide and heat. The piece ends by noting Frank Frisch won the NL MVP in 1931.
