Promising evaluate: “We had a horrible mosquito drawback at our new home, and the mosquitoes had been large (we dwell in Texas!). We couldn’t be outdoors with out about 8–10 attacking us, and we didn’t need to must spray our our bodies with something, so we needed to run indoors. I created a mosquito bait lure by getting a big container, filling it with water, and including a lavatory plant. Mosquitoes love standing water! Whereas I waited for Amazon to ship these dunks, I observed mosquitoes had been loving the water and laying eggs, so there have been tons of larvae in there simply ready to develop into large mosquitoes and assault us, too. The dunks arrived, and I dropped half of 1 within the water, and the following morning, the larvae in there have been all useless, and so had been some mosquitoes!! And the mosquito inhabitants attacking us dropped from 5–10 per particular person to simply 1 from time to time!!! The lavatory plant is ok! I like that these dunks are secure for birds, too, as a result of I beneficial these to associates who’ve a effervescent urn and a horrible mosquito drawback. They used one within the urn and it minimize down on the mosquito inhabitants and the birds can nonetheless safely cease by for a drink, as can squirrels.” —BGuhl
