#Finland is beautiful. It's also a place that makes you realise you are not the top of the food chain. #mosquito #safeguard

💁🏻♀️ TIL: #Google’s Debug program, with #Monash University and #mosquito control districts, applied for an #EPA permit to release 64 million male #Culex mosquitoes in #California and #Florida. 🦟
The males carry #Wolbachia #bacteria, making their offspring non-viable. Only females bite, so no biting mosquitoes are added. 🦠

How to build a #mosquito kill bucket
Setting up a #LarvaTrap at home is an effective #MosquitoControl method.
by Debbie Wolfe
Published Jun 18, 2024Materials
- Container: A five-gallon bucket or a similar-sized container
- Water: Preferably from a rain barrel to avoid chlorinated water
- Organic Material: Straw, hay, or even grass clippings to attract mosquitoes
- Mosquito Dunk: Contains Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bt-i), a bacterium harmful only to mosquito larvaeDirections
Prepare the container
Place the bucket in a sunny spot to keep it warm, accelerating the fermentation process.Add organic material
Add a handful of organic matter, like leaves, grass clippings or hay to the bucket. This organic material begins to ferment, producing a scent that attracts female mosquitoes.Add Water
Fill the bucket with water. If using tap water, let it sit for 24-48 hours to allow chlorine to evaporate, or use rainwater.Let it ferment
Allow the mixture to sit for a few days until it starts to ferment, creating an irresistible breeding ground for mosquitoes.Add Mosquito Dunk
Once mosquitoes have laid their eggs in the water, add a Mosquito Dunk to the mix. The Bt-i in the dunk will kill the mosquito larvae but leave other insects unharmed.Place in a shady area
The bucket should be placed in a shady area, or any area where there are frequent issues with mosquitoes.Maintenance
Regularly check the trap and add fresh water as needed to maintain the level. Replace the dunk every 30 days or as recommended by the manufacturer.Optional enhancements
Covering: To prevent pets or wildlife from drinking from the mosquito kill bucket, cover it with chicken wire or a similar mesh.
Camouflage: If the bucket’s appearance is a concern, consider using a decorative cover or placing it discreetly under bushes.Source:

Researchers document mosquito species in Puerto Rico that launches eggs aerially, one at a time, into the pools of water that collect between bracts of a plant. See figure 2. Seriously, see figure 2. So cool. #PuertoRico #mosquito #diptera #culex #oviposition #nature #heliconiaceae https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-15955-0

The fight against #dengue fever has a new weapon: a #mosquito infected with the #bacteria #Wolbachia, which prevents the spread of the #virus. These mosquitoes have now been deployed in several trials demonstrating their potential in preventing disease transmission.

After years of careful planning, Rafael Maciel de Freitas and his team couldn't understand why their groundbreaking #mosquito control programme was failing just a few weeks in.
A chance conversation with a local shopkeeper gave them the answer they'd been seeking. #Wolbachia #DengueFever #AedesAegypti

OK, so it's not just my imagination. #Mosquitoes really do love my #blood. I check multiple boxes on this list: #typeOblood, high body heat, and of course my lifelong unbroken streak of rolling snake-eyes every time random genetics are a factor. Thanks again, Mom and "Dad". 😒
