True — I just think that while we’re at trying to convince the folks around us to do better and why… it helps to give the practical (simple) examples. I have issued a “mosquito bucket challenge” to the kids in the neighborhood. Everyone will decorate their bucket with an illustration and reason why they’re participating (like: “Saving Fireflies” or “This is for the birds!”). Good news is I have seed packet “prizes” from the local extension office for “ALL” the winners (participants). Anywho, thanks for all you do, @Heather_Evans!
A whole essay and no mention of the best safe way to interrupt the mosquito cycle in your garden/life?? Check out Doug Tallamy and the Mosquito Bucket Challenge. https://homegrownnationalpark.org/mosquito-bucket-challenge/
Thanks for mentioning, Leslie. The article recommends using mosquito larvicide, which is what’s used in the Mosquito Bucket Challenge.
