My longer explanation of this way of getting rid of mosquitoes -  • MOSQUITO CONTROL THAT ...
Ill be damned, wish i knew about these decades ago, id probably start doing this secretly in the parks i go to walk the pup 🤣
When I was a kid my dad would put buckets out with water and spray some diesel in it. The diesel would put an oily film on the water and when the mosquito landed in there to lay eggs, the oil coated their wings and they couldnt fly out. Mosquito and eggs all die.
Diesel fluid and water huh,not bad at all...
mosquitos ?? they may not land on the diesel; even the water NEEDS to be STAGNANT for a monthor so,the SENSE that!!!if you pay attention every day you see the larvae come up tothe surface,then put some cooking oil on the surface, they all die when they come up to the surface to breathe@@mercedesbenzs600bash

I did this last summer and WOW! About a month later, I only saw a few mosquitoes.
Does it really make a difference? It just seems so counterintuitive to leave pots of water that will attract more. I keep no sitting water in my yard so by adding sitting water, I feel like I'm inviting mosquitoes that "I'm not responsible" for since I keep my yard clean
@@ericg5877 Had sitting water last year, long story, and added the dunks; it worked... Using buckets this year but it's dry so we'll see.
@@ericg5877Hey do whatever works for you...
It actually works?
@@ericg5877 yes
I set one of these up against the back of a box fan that has a screen on it so when the mosquitos go in or out of the bucket they get sucked into the screen and trapped so not only does it get their eggs the one laying them doesnt get away! then just spray with rubbing alcohol to dispose of them.
Man you are the best. Live in south texas and these little skats eat us alive. It’s Feb now and they have already started. They get so big they kick them birds out of their nests. Everything is worth trying. Thank u
and they have tailnumbers too
I’m from Texas howd it go? I’m looking for a solution it’s bad over here
@@IBANEZSHREDERDid it help???
Did it work for you?
Gonna try in Ohio! They eat my daughter & I up & she has awful reactions to the bite. Thank you for this!!
I've heard that if you do this in an area where you have standing water off your property but nearby, the female mosquitoes will get some of the BT on them from the bucket and inoculate the nearby standing water, thus harming the mosquito population further. Would be great if that's true.
It helps. I still have skeeters, but not as many. Also, cover the top with 1/4” hardware cloth to keep leaves, frogs, and other things out. I use 1/4 of a dunk in each bucket every month. Place buckets in completely shaded areas around the yard or property.
Today on "How to Force Nature's Hand", we're making super mosquitoes that don't die as easily.
Sooo explain this to me please
@@dennisjazz5142 basically, if a population is exposed to stressors over and over, and it is given time to recover, then that population will eventually adapt. This is known as evolution.
@@secrecy3915 check back in 10,000 years and see the difference
Well then we should put more work in exterminating them forever so that not even evolution is able to save them
What about the toxins they put in our food and such , do humans ever get used to the cancer causing compounds in roundup? I wouldnt think in anyones near lifetime that would happen, let alone ever actually happen in the first place
Thanks for this, I may try it. My backyard is absolutely swarming with mosquitoes to the point that I can't even let my dog out without spraying her down with mosquito repellent (dog safe of course) I have done everything I possibly can to eliminate breeding grounds, cut down bushes and shrubs and make sure there is absolutely no standing water but my yard is heavily shaded with giant 15ft trees and I'm definitely not cutting those down. Have looked into the dynatrap but I don't want to capture any non-harmful flying bugs and they're expensive. Question though, since this is still providing an area of standing water will this inadvertently attract more mosquitoes?
It won’t attract that many more. And look at it like this. If you did attract a mosquito from 50 yards away or 100 yards away and you kill all the eggs she lays, then there won’t be 100 mosquitoes 50 yards away coming to find you. so I would totally not worry about any you’re attracting. I would much rather kill 100 and have one still flying around then vice versa
Dynatrap works well. Just put away from where you will be
Hiya! How often do you need to change the bucket/use a new “dunk” tablet?
I think they last a month
Bout a month
If it does not work, you can try my remedies for mosquito repellent:
Mix neem oil and camphor with coconut oil, then burn this mixture daily in a lamp (dipak) to help repel mosquitoes and keep them away.
WOW!!! Im doing this today. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Did it help???
Does property size depend on how many buckets you need?
Yes. I would put one every 50 yards or so
Got it thank you
Hello , why do you have to cover bucket with chicken wire or hardware cloth . Thank you
Buckets of water can be a hazard to other creatures from mice to squirrels, birds and even kids. Even if it’s a mouse, you don’t want them falling in there and rotting away
Ah ! OK, thank you
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY oh ok, so it's about being humane? then i don't need it lol
You can just use water, monitor it daily, when you see the larvae swimming about and before they get larger just pour the water out, onto plants or some where that the water will dry out. Nothing will entirely eliminate mosquitoes but this helps some and is better than nothing. Don't let the larvae mature.
most people don't have the time to care about monitoring their mosquito farm bucket.
Didn't work for me in Texas
Didn't work at all for me in Maryland either.
I put out 3 buckets ( small yard) I still got eaten alive last year
yhea did not work for me
near Toronto
Have you tried a empty water bottle cut in half then the top turned in to the bottom and edges taped. I used it for flys. It works
but you may have to use crows blood to attract mosquitoes.
When the wind is above near 15 mph the mosquitoes are less.
@@ghosthauntingsrecon9353
Don't forget the eye of newt....
It works unbelievably well I am using a half full stock tank and any other plastic food containers hidden in the bushes.
Doesn't work in North Alabama
Thank u for ur honesty
Thank you.
What happens when it rains, would that kind of mess up this systems
Only if it overflows the buckets
well i did this indoors for a garage barn that has mosquitos for some reason and just got bit by a mosquito after the bucket being out for 2 weeks. so i'm not terribly confident this does anything
Good Stuff. Thanks how long does it last.
A month. But you can usually treat your backyard for less than $10 for the whole summer not including the buckets
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY$10 USD converts to $70+ here in Chinada 🤦🏼♀️
Cover the bucket with cloth ?? How will it affect the larva if covered. Please explain sir
Thanks
Hardware cloth is actually a metal netting like chicken wire. It’s not actually cloth at all.
Would a mosquito dunk that kills the larvea be more effective?
It does kill them
What kind of bacteria?!!!!
We have 3 ares in a strip. Would you say a bucket in each corner would work, or should we do more?
If there’s no other water around it should. But you might want more to be sure
More
I DO THIS!! 💘✊🏼
What is hardware cloth and chicken wire?
Best way is to search on your favorite search engine
Does this work for flies as well?
No, but this product worked really well when I grew up on a 20 acre farm. amzn.to/44ybeQY
Would it be worth putting them im a ditch at at the end of my property? Or would that be too much water
Stagnant water works best for these
Why the chicken wires? what does it do?
It keeps things out of the water that you don’t want in there such as kids, critters, birds, etc.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY what about adding Dawn dish soap? Another guy on YT adds dawn to his solution so the mosquitoes don't come out
I’m doing this 😁😁
Sir, where do you get those dunk tablets? Thank you
amzn.to/45Z6KEB
But you need to set this up before breeding time so when do you recommend
What’s the purpose of covering it with chicken wire?
Keeps kids and critters out
Will this work in my studio?
How does your studio get that many mosquitoes??
I tried this with like 4 buckets around my small backyard. I was still eaten alive all summer.
That will happen if you still have other water sources they can breed in or if your neighbors aren’t doing anything. The mosquitoes will fly quite a long ways to find a bloodmeal so it works best if you have at least a half an acre or your neighbors help out too
I’m just venting trust me I know. I’m on .37 acre but I was and continue to be desperate and tried this and no dice. Total fail but I thank you for the moment of hope you gave me. I’m in the woods retention pond and every other odd against me and of course I want to love outside 🤦🏽♀️
@@jlnapoleon yeah in a case like that you need to have some buckets about 100 yards away and some about 25 yards away but you probably can’t do that with a small plot of land
If you live in an area where rainfall exists throughout the spring summer and fall months, this will not work for you. Additionally, if you over-irrigate your yard or your neighbor does, this will not work for you.
How many buckets of water do you need for an acre of land?
No pond.
Probably 4
Why do we need to cover?
So rodents dont get in and drown..
Where do u get the dunks?
There’s a link in the description below the video
I’ve gotten them from Home Depot
Amazon
our health dept gives them out
Nice
Great information putting chicken wire on top. Kids will be safe
Why cover it?
To keep out critters, kids, etc.
If it works or not it’s cheap and better than nothing
@socratesvato does Socrates want the philosophical response or just the when it comes to mosquitoes do everything including the witch doctor rain dance if it means killing the little bastards 😂
But I did get some and they do help to an extent but the best thing is always try to limit the amount of objects around your living space that will hold any amounts of rain water.
👍👍👍
Too bad every homeowner doesn't have four of them in the corners of their property.
I have used a whole package of eight and the mosquitoes are still here. These don’t work at all.
No they work, but what it means is you have water nearby that isn't getting treated and they are coming from there. If your in the city, neighbors are often the problem. Mosquitos can come from a long ways away, so treat as far out as you can, and only use about 1/4 of a dunk in each bucket. And only about every 30 days
I have some success...breaking the Dunks seems much better - I'll keep trying! Thanks@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY
That’s what bill gates does to humans. Breaking the life cycle
Don't forget to get your booster shots or bills plan won't work
Will this work around a home hot tub area?
Yes
Why do u want them to even lay their eggs near ur house😢
Because then hundreds of mosquitoes will die for each one that is laying their eggs versus having them find water nearby and hundreds and hundreds of mosquitoes hatch and come invade your space in the evening. Mosquitoes can fly up to a mile to come and find you so why not encourage them to lay their eggs where they will never hatch
So it don’t kill the mosquito ?
It kills the them BEFORE they can mature into adult mosquitoes
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY the mosquito that’s laying
I would rather worry about killing the 100 eggs that one mosquito is going to lay than killing the one mosquito. They reproduce extremely rapidly and they only live a few weeks so it’s more important to end the life cycle. No they don’t kill live flying mosquitoes but you’re trying to think small. If you kill one mosquito and I kill 100, which is better?
I only trust thus guy
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY just lvl 4.5 a new room due to my skills taught here you're the man in my book still!
Damn. end the population?😂
Good luck with this method here in Alaska. Mosquito population here gets nuclear😁👍👍
Doesn't hurt to try...
This doesn't work. I've been using these dunks since before it got hot and still used them, and as soon as I go outside it's feeding time. Like I'm some delicious cake for a fat kid
Then there’s still somewhere they are breeding that you don’t know about because they do absolutely work. If you use them correctly anyway.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I need to get my neighbors on bored
That can make or break this
So you give the mosquito a place to lay its eggs , then the eggs hatch and the larva eats the poison and it dies/ can’t reproduce ?
Why not just eliminate wet places for mosquitos to lay eggs ?
This doesn’t add up bro
Because most CAN’T eliminate all water sources do this gives the mosquitoes the easiest place to lay their eggs. Like any creatures, they will tend to flock to the easiest place and not go hunting for the tiny remote spot.
And as I have repeated about 1000 times, it’s not poison it’s a bacteria. And a very safe one for humans.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY it’s poison to the insect was my point .
And I think you would be better off throwing those into the wet ditches and swamp holes around where they actually lay endless eggs . 😉
😘
@@wildnorthadventures6543 haha you’re wrong, he’s right.
I have a very very dry property and still tons of mosquitoes
Those things really aren't cheap
Well a seven dollar pack will last you years so I guess it depends on your perspective
20 for $24. For years of relief. That is extremely cheap in my book.
