Is there a mosquito yard spray or something that is safe to use around tortoises. The mosquito's are horrible right now.

Moozilion said:In our area they still spray/fog residential areas with both the fogging trucks and the "crop duster" type airplanes. I phoned the county agency responsible and got the names of what was used, then looked them up on the Internet. What I found was there are safer chemicals available but these were cheaper. Both these chemicals breakdown rapidly when exposed to sunlight, which is a good thing, I suppose. I don't know what chemicals your county was using. I NEVER accept governmental assurance that something is "safe." There's always varying degrees of "safe."
