DoomsdaysCWSo, since we had a really dry summer last year, I'm collecting water in rain barrels to water the garden and conserve our well-water. However, as I discovered recently, rain barrels can be places where mosquitoes can breed. So I put a thin layer of old olive oil (leftover from soap making) on top. I checked on both rain barrels today -- no <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mosquitoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosquitoes</a>! "Rain Barrels and Mosquito Pests While using a rain barrel in the garden is great for water conservation among its other benefits, mosquitoes are a constant threat, as they carry life-threatening diseases. Learning how to control mosquitoes in a rain barrel is just as important to controlling them anywhere else, especially since the pests take advantage of standing water to help carry out their life cycle. Here are some things you can do to minimize their presence: - Dish soap– Liquid dish soap creates a slick film on the surface of the water. When mosquitoes attempt to land, they drown before they have time to lay eggs. Use natural soap and avoid products with perfume or degreasers, especially if you water your plants with rain water. One or two tablespoons of liquid soap per week is plenty for most rain barrels. - Mosquito dunks– Also known as mosquito donuts, mosquito dunks are round cakes of Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), a naturally occurring bacteria that provides mosquito control in rain barrels as it slowly dissolves. However, it is safe for beneficial insects. Be sure the product label indicates the dunks are formulated for ponds because other types, which kill caterpillars, aren’t effective in water. Replace the dunks as needed. Check them after a hard rain. - Vegetable oil– Oil floats on the surface of the water. If mosquitoes attempt to land, they suffocate in the oil. Use about a quarter cup of oil per week. You can use any type of oil, including olive oil. Horticultural oil or dormant oil are also effective for preventing mosquitoes in rain barrels."Read more at Gardening Know How: Mosquito Control In Rain Barrels: How To Control Mosquitoes In A Rain Barrel <a href="https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/mosquito-control-in-rain-barrels.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/mosquito-control-in-rain-barrels.htm</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoPesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoPesticides</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OliveOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OliveOil</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Organic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Organic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainBarrels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainBarrels</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mosquito" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mosquito</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MosquitoControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MosquitoControl</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalPestControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturalPestControl</a><a href="https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/mosquito-control-in-rain-barrels.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/mosquito-control-in-rain-barrels.htm</a>

Colin PurringtonAny <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/mosquito" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosquito</a> biologists in the Fediverse willing to scrutinize some efficacy data produced by Spartan Mosquito? The company, based in <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Hattiesburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hattiesburg</a>, Mississippi (USA), markets tubes filled with sugar, yeast, water, and either sodium chloride or boric acid — and claims they kill mosquitoes (I'm skeptical). Through FOIA requests, I've obtained some of the data the company sends to states and to the <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/EPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPA</a> to secure registrations, and I'd love to get opinions on whether the data are trustworthy.
