Because of the West Nile Virus (Im in New jersey) I'm concerned that the
extra deep saucers my plants are sitting in outside may be a breeding pond
for mosquitos.
What I've been doing is about twice a week pouring the water in the saucers
into the soil of my CP, in effect using 5 inches of sand and peat moss as a
filter. I assume the mosquito larva will die in the wet soil or dead long
fibered sphagnum moss becaue they need water to swim in. Is thsi effective?
Or am I still going to get Mosquitos?
I've read here about an insectidice called UT. Is it worth spraying that in
the rain water I use for my plants? Will it harm them?
Where does one get UT, or a good anti-mosquito larva agent?
