From dusk til dawn, and just about every hour in between, no summer in New England is complete without these tiny terrors ruining the bbq, pool party, morning coffee, bird watching, gardening- you name it!
How does a pollinator-friendly lawn contend with these blood-thirsty little monsters?
Enter the Mosquito Bucket of Doom! (cool name, right?)
How it works:
I. Mosquito mamas drop off their eggs
II. The Bti bacteria kills the larvae
III. You enjoy your evening cocktail in relative peace
This is a pet-safe, kid-safe, pollinator-safe (well, except for the mosquitos) alternative to fogging which costs a whole lot more and is likely polluting our wells and drinking water.
I bought (4) 5-gal buckets, and (1) 8-pack of mosquito dunks. The total came to about $30, and with only a 1/4 of a dunk per bucket/per month, the overall cost per use is much, much lower. Already have buckets? You're looking at 25 cents per month!
