Your periodic reminder that mosquito “dunks” are a vital weapon in the war on mosquitoes. Add them to standing water (especially after heavy rains) to suppress proliferation of mosquito larvae. They’re safe for wildlife and pets.

@cassandra17lina

Is this a seasonal thing? Put out mosquito dunks in th spring and summer?

@QueenOfEverything I do it whenever there’s standing water regardless of the season.

@cassandra17lina

Even in winter? Don't mosquitos freeze in the winter?

@QueenOfEverything Here in North Carolina we can have winter warm spells, but I mostly use these in the other three seasons.

@cassandra17lina

I miss North Carolina. Loving Washington state- daughters live in Seattle.

But the weather does get colder here- I'm worried about the animal critters in the winter- but I think the mosquitos here fly to Hawaii for the winter. 😎

WA also gets LOTS OF RAIN- so I'll start putting out the mosquito dunks in the early spring.

@NiveusLepus @cassandra17lina

Hey there! Yes I'm really enjoying my new home. What part of the state are you in?

@QueenOfEverything @cassandra17lina

I live near Longview, about an hour north of Portland, and 2.5 hours south of Seattle.

@NiveusLepus @cassandra17lina

I'm in the Tacoma area. I really wanted to visit Swan Island Dahlias in Canby, OR but daughters were busy and not up for the drive for "FLOWERS".

@NiveusLepus @cassandra17lina

Well, if you're coming this way in the next month or so... I can give you a jumbo box of DAHLIAS. They're gorgeous and I can't bear to see them all freeze.

@QueenOfEverything @cassandra17lina

I'll be out of town until November. I travel alot or I'd totally stop by. My buddy on Whidbey Island is a big time gardner.

@NiveusLepus @cassandra17lina

Yes, my neighbors go to Whidbey almost every weekend... really looking forward to visiting the island.

If you ever are coming to my area- feel free to DM and we can meet up. 🌻 🌻 🌻
