VERY good article!!! We have 4 different mozzies here with their different attack times!!! I didn't know about gutters but will clean them out.
I spray piles of garden waste and under trees with BTI (Baccilus Thurengensis Israelensis... spelling?) as those buggers use tiny reservoirs of on the leaves and in the axils of plants (bananas, heliconias etc.) to breed. They are so hard to get rid of!!!!
AlohaHoya, BTI is the active mosquito-killing bacteria found in "Dunks", too. It's supposed to be organic, but I'm still too chicken to try it, lol. If next year's skeeter population gets out of hand, I'll have no other choice than to use it.
Yes...it is in the dunks and in the granules. I also buy it in 2.5 gal. jugs and dilute it in a 16 gal. sprayer and 'do' 12 acres...quite a job! It works. My dogs drink from the ponds where I put it with no problems...it is VERY safe.
