mosquito breeding control

not much help out there hey john, especially for the purchase of the product(s), Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). would think this is what the local gov' uses? they may be able to tell you how or where to buy it? here is another product suggested: methoprene Yes, those are the two I was chasing up. how would using vege' oil go? it may not evaporate like kero' all that is needed is th stop their access to oxygen, that's all the kero' does. That's a thought, but oil that is never going to evaporate may cause problems when it comes to tiling, etc. I expect it would soak into the concrete walls and floor. They do pump as much water as they can out of the pool from time to time, but wrigglers only need the remaining few mm to survive in. Then there is all the water pooled in the churned-up yard, too. I think the BTI would be the best, if it works as described in the literature. Thing is, we're not Robinson Caruso here. There must be hundreds of people facing the same problem at this very minute. I'd be surprised to learn there is no local availability of the above commercial products. Thanks for your suggestions. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
