Mosquito season has arrived in the USA

Time to set up your water bucket trap. If you're not familiar with the process I'll be happy to explain it.

Please explain the trap. Living in North Carolina there are a gazillion mosquitoes and other flying insects.

You're lucky Jenny. Maybe it's too cold for them where you live?
Another thing you can do which may help lower the Mosquito population a little is to get a Hummingbird feeder. While Fly's are a Hummer's main source of protein I've heard that Hummers will also dine on Mosquitoes. I will check with a friend who bands Hummingbirds as a past time just to be sure.

I have rain barrels, covered with net. I have a tub pool and a frog pond. Daily use a butterfly net to scoop out lava. I love to hear them cry and scream as they die. But, since I live along a river and have a farm, doesn't do much good. They are horrid right now.frustrated crying

You must have some keen hearing to hear Mosquito Larva cry and scream. wow I doubt a Mosquito would ever lay her eggs in a river not to mention the fish would have a feast. I would think frogs would dine on the larva also. BTW I've used goldfish to keep rain barrels free of larva. They scoop them up, spit them out and scoop them up again sort of like a game they play with them.
When I started using a bucket trap I noticed a decrease in the Mosquito population around my house.
I had a Mosquito in the house since yesterday cause I left the top bathroom window wide open all night, no screen. I felt something stinging my ankles today and I managed to catch it, she's cooling off in my freezer right now. I plan to take her picture with my USB Microscope later.

I'm wondering if anybody has tried my bucket Mosquito trap system. I would love to get your feedback, good or bad. I'm screening my Mosquito buckets (2 of them) alternately every 2 weeks. One is located by my garage and the other is by some trees about 60 feet away. This way I cover the whole yard. I use a gallon Sunny D bottle with the bottom cut off as a scoop to pour the water from one bucket through the screen into the empty bucket, this way you don't have to bust a blood vessel lifting a full 5 gal bucket of water.
I probably should have mentioned this sooner.blushing
One more thing, it helps to take an old 4" paint brush and wet the screen with water before you pour the water, this way it's less likely to splash.
