If you’re rightly worried about mosquito-borne diseases like Eastern Equine Encephalitis and West Nile Virus, consider stocking up on these “Mosquito Dunks.” Place them in standing water to kill mosquito larvae. They’re made of bacillus thuringiensis, environmentally safe, and not toxic to pets or wildlife. I use them in drainage swales that retain water after heavy rains.

@cassandra17lina I can't find any standing water but have a robust mosquito population. Have done all the water drainage/mitigation I can think of. I'm going to start tossing these around.

@b4cks4w @cassandra17lina Have you checked your gutters? It's a source a lot of people overlook.

@Coctaanatis @cassandra17lina
Oh yes. Pulled them all apart, replaced damaged sections, added/replaced down spouts and tied those all into underground pipes that drain downhill a ways. Retrenched the foundation french drains. Wore out the shovel.

@Coctaanatis @cassandra17lina Did find a little squirrel nest up there, felt bad about taking that apart. Got over it.
