If you live somewhere that may be prone by heavy rain, flooding, or ponded water, get yourself some of these “mosquito dunks.” They’re made with bacillus thuringiensis, safe for wildlife, but deadly for mosquito larvae. With a rise in mosquito-borne diseases affecting people and pets, it’s important to be proactive.
@cassandra17lina also a small amount of vegetable oil. It creates a skim on the surface, smothering the larvae. Completely natural and biodegradable.
@kendonnelly @cassandra17lina How does the oil affect the feathers of birds who visit the water? What about other (beneficial) insects who might be there to take a drink?
@CJLavoie @cassandra17lina I don’t really know. I look at it as a better solution than using pesticides. But I don’t have answers to your fair questions.
@kendonnelly @cassandra17lina
The dunks/granules are BT, not a pesticide per se. Bacillus thuringiensis.
