I've been doing this for a couple years now and it does a great job. Mosquitos are attracted to darker objects so I used a green Menards bucket. I also put a small handful of dried leaves and grass in to get the water real nasty and further attract the mosquitos. 4 of them on my 1 acre property has made a huge difference.

I have used both these products in rainwater collection barrels, and they indeed kill mosquito larvae very effectively, but also creates a situation where, in our climate, the water sours quickly (Central TX). The solution we came up with (quite by accident) was to put live floating aquatic plants (that don’t need soil) in the water barrels, and keep the barrels in at least part sun. This created an ecosystem full of aquatic predators (mostly dragonflies and water beetles) that kept the mosquito larvae population so low as to be almost undetectable. The suite of mosquito species that occurred changed as well. More small, non-nuisance species. No more Asian Tiger Mosquitos at all. A bucket nearby with no plants (and no predators) would fill up with rain and within a week have hundreds of nuisance mosquito larvae, while the planted buckets have none. The plant species we use is Coontail, Ceratophyllum demersum, gathered from a healthy waterway. The catch is, you can’t ever let it dry out, or you will have to re-establish the system all over again

Take a branch or dowel (strong enough to hold bucket) and slide behind knot. Slip branch / dowel through handle of bucket and let weight hold it tight to tree.

Bucket should be dark. Also add some grass clippings/leaves. It will start to breakdown and release carbon dioxide which also attracts them. I also have buckets that don't have dunks but a few drops of dish soap (but don't use grass/leaves but sugar and yeast). Break the water tension and the mosquitos trying to lay eggs will sink and drown.

You can also put a few drops of oil in the water. It doesn't take much because the oil spreads over the surface. Personally I would suggest cooking oil like canola or corn oil. People used to suggest using old motor oil but that's not really good for the environment. A few drops of cooking oil is going to be a much safer alternative. You can also try a few drops of dish soap. This breaks up the surface tension of the water and keeps the mosquitoes from being able to land safely on the surface to lay eggs.

I live in Florida and I kill billions of mosquitos every year without any of that stuff. Here's how. I leave buckles out with enough water, about a gallon so the mosquitos can lay their eggs. I check them all the time since they are always in my normal travels. Once I see the larvae, I dump the bucket on my hot driveway and they die. No chemicals nor any costs and simple as heck. Why buy something to kill them in standing water to then do what? Dump the water with dead larvae? I learned that as a kid in Puerto Rico where mosquitos are year round and worse than anywhere I have had a problem by a long shot. Sitting water was everywhere and the problem is so bad you can't open your mouth to speak or eat without a bunch trying to lay eggs in your mouth. The more scarce you make them, the less food for frogs, lizards and bats so they will help minimize the mosquito population. In other words, they help get rid of the ones that you didn't get and the helpers will fight for the supply that's lower. Others come but if everyone does this everywhere, we can eradicate this problem.

A commenter on another KZfaq video suggested placing 3-4 holes around the sides of the bucket at the maximum level you want water to reach. When it rains the water will pour out the holes and never get higher than your holes. The only exception may be torrential rains that put more water in your bucket than your holes can handle.

@mnataluk 11 ай бұрын

@@anubis520 Interesting point of view, however, this mosquito trap idea will not decrease the mosquito population if there are abundant areas for the larva to grow and hatch. The best course of action in a neighborhood would be for everyone to do their due diligence in removing unnecessary standing water and then only a couple folks need to make these traps to reduce the lingering population. If a neighbor refuses, well then someone could become a criminal, trespass onto a neighbors property and drop this chemical in all the standing water by the cover of night and maybe that could help. Bottom line, a bucket of 'treated' water is not going to 'Get Rid of Mosquitos' by itself.
