Mosquitoes Dead!
THESE EASY TRAPS CAN KILL OVER 90% OF MOSQUITOES, AND 100% OF EGGS AND LARVAE!

Here’s what you need:

Small handful of compost or yard waste.
A quart-sized or bigger container with an
opening of at least 3 or 4 inches. It needs to
be smooth on the inside.
Terro Ant Dust*. Kills fire ants too! Get it at
Home Depot or Amazon for about $8,
enough to make hundreds of traps.
Boric Acid* (kills roaches! - $5-$10 bucks
just about anywhere!) or mosquito dunks.
Some heavy, rough paper, like builders
paper from a hardware store, or heavy
cloth
Some tape or rubber bands.

It does harm fish so keep it out of your pond. Instead of boric acid, try Mosquito Dunks, which http://makemosquitotraps.org
