Default West Nile Virus and mosquitoes.

That too is good to know. I believe the big problems with mosquitoes are more
with standing water in tires, discarded plastic bags where water lingers,
buckets or cans or any number of things. I use the dunks in the rain barrels as
an added measure. I have on any given night dozens of bats roosting in the
trees every night. Same with barn swallows and purple martins. They don't only
eat mosquitoes, but their fair share.

Just remember that Bt used in the "dunks" also effects butterflies and
dragonflies, so keep that in mind if you're gardening to attract these
beneficial insects!
