Austin Gardeners,

I have all my gutters drained into large plastic garbage cans and I use
pieces of the BT dunks to keep mosquitoes from hatching out.

However, there was a woman on a tv gardening show the other day (just
got in on the last of it) and she said that organic matter in the water
will keep the dunks (BT) from working to kill the larva of the mosquitoes.

She said we need the pliable window screen material covering the tops of
the garbage cans and held in place with those bungie cords to hold the
screens in place to keep leaves and such from failing in it.

So if you do not keep those containers clean of organic matter, the BT
will not work on the skeeters. I had no idea! Who knew?
