Mosquito Bucket Workshop @ Hee Haw Hollow's Barn Sale & Market
We are really excited to share our FIRST EVENT!
Come out on August 1st to Hee Haw Hollow to say hi and make your own Mosquito Bucket to take home. We will have items you can use to decorate a bucket and instruction sheets to assemble when you get home, complete with a pesticide free mosquito dunk!
All free, so while supplies last!
Follow the event at Hee Haw Hollow’s Barn Sale & Vendor Event to stay updated on details.
If you’re asking, what the heck is a mosquito bucket? Keep reading!
With mosquitoes becoming an ever growing problem in our area due to prime breeding conditions and the rise of mosquito related illnesses - many people are turning to fogging and using pesticides to control the problem.
Unfortunately pesticides don’t discriminate between friend and foe - putting many beneficial bugs at risk, like bees and lightning bugs!
Mosquito Buckets (mosquito buckets of doom, bee friendly mosquito buckets etc.) use mosquito dunk tablets that are made from a a natural bacteria called BTI that specifically target and kill mosquito larvae - preventing them from developing into adult mosquitoes.
The cool thing about BTI is that it leaves the good critters alone! The more we can encourage these alternative methods, the more pollinators and beneficial-bugs we keep to help our neighborhood eco systems thrive!
Buckets just need some yard litter, water and a reminder to stick a new dunk in every 30 days. Place in your yard in a hot-mosquito-real estate location and let it work from April-October.
