How do I get rid of mosquitos ?
1. Outside – a. Keep any areas of water accumulation drained. If you can’t, then encourage dragonflies, frogs, fish, bats, hummingbird and toads. b. Also, you may want to try Bt israeliensis (Bti). Dunks or granular form can be spread wherever mosquitos breed; around ponds, lakes, drainage ditches, pastures, sewage, animal waste lagoons, roof gutters, etc. The granular can be broadcast at 2.5 to 10 pounds/acre. The dunks kill mosquitos and their larvae for about 30 days when placed in standing water. You may want to attach a string to keep them from floating away. Use dunks 1/100 square feet of infested water. Bti does not hurt people, pets, fish or plants. Try your local hardware store (they may use a trade name). It costs about 6 dunks for $9. Granular costs about $3 per pound. Try Arbico (1-800-827-2847) if you can’t find it locally. c. Chemical sprays are also available but they may cost more, they are dangerous and must be carefully handled to avoid harming humans, pets or fish an
