Everybody put a bucket of water outside with some clorox in the water. Watch the larva die by the millions! All it takes is about 2 inches of water with 1 tbsp of clorox. You have to keep up with it though, because the clorox evaporates out after a few days.
Got a small water feature? Add some goldfish or mosquito fish. People who keep garden ponds know that their mosquito pests are much less than those who don’t because the fish eat the larva if the water isn’t moving much.
It’s small scale of course, but it saves a bunch of spraying, AND is effective. Every little bit helps.
Thanks for the info.. Every bit adds up to benefit of some.
Until a few (3 or 4) years ago Midland Texas had the city spraying every spring. Ally, and street, . Certainly worked to diminish mosquitos.
Wonder why it fell out of fashion?
There are always a few against any program, it seems.
Not all change is good!
Plus try to attract barn swallows or purple martins.Those guys are murder on mosquitos.
