Like many here I’m sure, every year about this time I battle the cottonwood seeds collecting on the condenser of my air conditioning unit. It’s a total nuisance to deal with and I had a thought cross my mind last night I thought I’d run past you guys. The “apostrophe” came to me when I walked out onto our patio last evening only to be greeted by a swarm of mosquitos. Wife asks “do we have any spray we can use?” “You betcha honey” and I ran out to the garage and grabbed a can of starter fluid and a Zippo lighter. Vaporized the little bastards and didn’t see another skeeter all night. So here’s the question, how bad would it be to hit the cottonwood seeds on my a/c unit with a flame blast? I did it in a spot that had only a few and they vanished and the fire was out in about 2 seconds. Have I just come up with a workable solution that’s also a little fun or is this a really bad idea?
