Organic Mosquito Prevention

In North Texas, mosquitos can be a huge frustration in the summer. Mosquito Dunks are an easy-to-use mosquito prevention tool, that specifically targets insects with alkaline guts (mosquitos, fungus gnats, etc.). This way, you do not have to worry about harming wildlife or your pets with insecticide. This infographic showcases how easy it is to utilize Mosquito Dunks in your yard!

Another suggestion:

If you are keen on using no pesticides, even organic ones, you could go the food-chain route, as I like to call it. Dragonflies, bats, and certain birds are natural predators of mosquitos, so supporting predator populations can lower mosquito populations on your property. 

Aspects of Dragonfly Habitat:

• Standing and flowing water
• Rocks under water
• Submerged and emerging aquatic plants
• Good water quality

Aspects of Bat Habitat:

• Roosting area (bat box)
• Water source
• Open space for flight
• Native, night-blooming flowers

Aspects of Bird Habitat:

• Trees
• Roosting area (for swallows)
• Water source
