    I wish I could have something like this but I’m positive it won’t work. Underneath the tiles, our balcony is basically a big water basin that slowly drains on one side. There’s so so so many mosquitos. Pls help 😵

        Where do you usually get them? I tried my local gardening centre but they don’t seem to stock any :(

        Depending on where you live and how dangerous the mosquitoes are, there is a tradeoff with also unnecessarily killing many other flying insects. On top of that, mosquitoes are an important food source to other animals and they are also pollinators. So I’d only go with this solution if the mosquitoes in your area spread diseases.

          Mosquitoes are absolutely vital for the ecosystem, it would take a long time for nature to adjust to a gap if they all disappeared, but when people are living in vicinity to mosquitoes it can be unpleasant, and a health hazard

            So negative, why so negative about mosquitos? You know you can block posts from this community if you want. Being so negative about mosquitos says a lot about what kind of person you are.

      Agree with autumn, you really need to try some mosquito dunks down there, it could really help!
