@#*%!^ mosquitos

(simy1) wrote in om: I just emptied my rain barrel, and there were mosquito larvae by the tens of thousands (teaches me to be a laggard). I also mow quite high, which helps them (but I have a decent looking lawn without any care). I suppose a couple of minnows from the bait shop, placed in the barrel, would take care of them ... I may try it next year. When I was a kid, I heard that applying a thin layer of oil to the surface of the water would cause the mosquito larvae to suffocate. I haven't heard the same recently, so maybe it's bad advice. with all the rain, my barrel has overflowed many times over. Oil would go quickly. I only keep it to water my mushroom piles. |
