Having heard about the "mosquito bucket of doom" from several different sources (and having been bitten a gazillion times since moving to moist Maryland from the Arizona desert 3 months ago), I decided to give it a try. I suppose I'll find out in a few weeks how effective it is.

An Invasive #Mosquito Is Spreading With Alarming Speed, Threatening #Africa’s Cities
The #malaria-carrying mosquito is resistant to all #insecticides.
Genomic analysis of the mosquito, called Anopheles stephensi, using specimens collected from 10 countries, showed those found in Africa had genetic resistance to all of the chemicals currently used in spraying campaigns and other mosquito-control efforts, meaning those insecticides will not kill it.

As #mosquito ranges expand, better monitoring is key to preventing #disease
Monitoring is expensive and labor intensive. But it helps #publichealth officials stop #outbreaks.
In Connecticut statewide mosquito monitoring program has 54 different species, including invasives like Asian tiger mosquito, which can transmit diseases including dengue and Zika. Mosquito’s historical territory is in hot and humid climates farther south, but moving north.

I’m not really a cat person anymore… but if I have to choose between the massive patches of #mosquito bites these mosquitoes seem to cause nowadays and having every cat in the neighbourhood chase after me, I’m definitely choosing the cats.

Antispeciesism includes parasites like leeches mosquitos and bedbugs.
There are non-lethal ways to protect yourself from parasites.
No one chooses what species they are born in to and villainising moralising or stereotyping parasite species helps nobody but it does reinforce human supremacy and anti-insect speciesism
Ever noticed how in fiction insectoids are almost invariably unintelligent evil or ravenous beasts and humanoids can be approachable and reasonable: that is an example of anti-insect speciesism

"How are you dealing with all the mosquitoes?" asked neighbor 5 doors away. We have almost no mosquitoes. We have two mosquito dunk buckets, a purple martin house with loads of bug-eating birds, and we have plants that the frogs seem to like. That neighbor has grass. Americans, smdh.
Another neighbor complained about JuneBugs. I haven't seen any this year.
I guess these efforts are working! -

“We found that a 6% catnip oil was just as effective as #Deet, and the 2% #catnip oil was only marginally less effective than that.”
“Deet is out of the price bracket for most of #Uganda’s rural subsistence farmers, so buying commercially available #mosquito repellents is just not practicable.
“We wanted to make a repellent, which is highly efficacious, but also allows local people to be involved in the production cycle so that it costs a minimal amount of money.” -

"Catnip lotion as effective as Deet at repelling mosquitoes, study finds"- did a cat write this?
A joint Welsh and Ugandan study has shown a 6% catnip oil based lotion to be just as effective as DEET for repelling mosquitos. The guardian article is by, I shit you not, "Kat Lay"
