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.
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.
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.
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.

Hello fellow Washingtonian transplant!
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.
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".
@QueenOfEverything @cassandra17lina
Oh! I'm up in the Sea Tac area all the time!
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.
@QueenOfEverything @cassandra17lina I certainly will!
@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. 🌻 🌻 🌻
