We had a really bad mosquito season last year, and I am looking for solutions to keep them under control this year. Aside from removing standing water sources, I don't know of any environmentally safe ways to attack the little &%@*! before they hatch.
Years ago it was a common practice to pour a little oil on the water to create a slick that would suffocate the larvae
, but that's out of the question these days. Is there a natural product that can be used that will pass DES scrutiny and have the same effect? Do any towns in the region have an organized treatment program that they share with landowners?
