🌱 STEP 1 Support a healthy habitat. Plant native and skip sprays to create a healthy yard that supports dragonflies, birds, and bats that eat mosquitoes.
🪣 STEP 2 Make a Mosquito Bucket. Target larvae in a controlled spot before they become biting adults.
💧 STEP 3 Dump standing water. Empty containers, gutters, and saucers, anywhere stagnant water collects.
🦟 STEP 4 Treat standing water you can’t dump. Use mosquito dunks in birdbaths, rain barrels, and ponds.
🪭 STEP 5 Protect yourself when needed. Use screens, fans, repellents, and protective clothing to help reduce bites.
🏘️ STEP 6 Get your neighbors involved. Mosquito management works best when the whole community participates.
The bucket is just a bucket with BT in it to kill the larvae. Might help but ultimately you need to get rid of the places they are breeding to be completely effective.
I heard they’re trying to new sterile male releases in my city which I think is probably a good idea. Certainly better than broadcasting pesticides.
I’ve heard they’re doing that as well. I hope it works!
