Control or Kill Mosquitoes

LISTERINE® Antiseptic Mouthwash | Kills plaque, gingivitis, and mosquitoes







You may be aware of this, but I thought it was worth looking at again. How to Kill Mosquitos

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby.

OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house. EARTH FRIENDLY TOO!!!

May 10, 2011 Mud flow













Here is what the mud flow coming in from Kaiaka Beach looks like. It was dramatically dirty. The mud did eventually flow over to our pristene shoreline. The water was murky for about 2-3 days, there was one more day of rain and then after that, the water cleaned up again. The next picture is what it looks like today on May 16 only a week later.












People out SUPping and diving in clean clear waters again with turtles all over the place. check out www.northshoreturtles.blogspot.com

Exterminator - Pest control

Some units have chosen Sandwich Isle Pest control. Those that I have talked with are pleased with their work. Sandwich Isle can be reached at:

96-1368 Waihona St # 4
Pearl City, HI 96782-1981
(808) 456-7716

I believe that the same worker that works for them is assigned to our property since each time S.I.P.C. sends someone out, it's been the same person, so he's probably pretty familiar with out property by now.

I have seen other pest control companies on the property, but have not seen them more than once. Don't know if that's because of price, they did such a fantastic job and didn't need them again or that they did such a lousy job that the agent didn't want them back. Here is a site with their reviews: http://www.yelp.com/biz/sandwich-isle-termite-and-pest-control-pearl-city








This is what we use In-House, on the walls, parking lots, hallways and lanais, It is purchased from Land-O-Lakes in Kapolei.

Fence Installation Phase 1 & 2 being worked on

Our fence is being installed by Sam Ramiro. We are more than pleased with his work, his attitude and his clean working crews. We have a condo with more than 100 people on the property at all times, and he worked right along with all of them. Great job Sam. Sam can be reached at Email - (dwh96744@gmail.com) or phone 808-386-4757. Oh, and another thing, his price was very good. Our board highly recommends him and would use him on other projects in a heart beat. Here are some photos of the job in progress. Because of the size of our property, we did our job in 3 phases. Here are the first two phases. Phase 3 was along side the Jodo Mission on the North end of the property.












This is the Banyan tree which had to be trimmed back to make way for the fence.












This is Kai, cutting away on the pine tree stump by the BarBQ area.












This is the stump grinder that removed the stump to below the ground level














And this is what is left












This is the first part of phase one extending from the BarBQ area to the Condo's then heading back SW to the vacant lot.












Then this is the new chain link fence fronting the Hau tree
