mosquito control

[Emily Brown]

I'm a member of a local community garden, and we're working on reducing our mosquito population this summer without using pesticides or other toxic materials. Does anyone have any suggestions? We're already working on reducing standing water, are considering erecting a bat house in the hope of attracting little brown bats which may eat the pests, and a batch of other things as well... but we'd love to hear from our neighbors who may have come up with especially successful techniques. If you like, you can respond to me off-list at emilyh...@gmail.com, and put mosquito control in your subject line.

 

We're also sharing our research etc. via a blog, which you can see at http://noskeeters.blogspot.com - maybe some of what we've come up with will be useful to others as well.

 

Thanks in advance!

Emily
