She'll have to convert those rain buckets to quinine storage!

Hey baby, you have the answer, if you bung the quinnine in there you kill the bugs, make Tonic Water, & we can bring the bathtub Gin & it's party-central!!!

If you are at your wits end regarding the Mozzies get one of those squirter type bottles, you know, like your cleaning stuff comes in, (Spray & Wipe) you can pour some clear baby oil into it and using the 'stream' setting in the nozzle squirt the contents into each vessel, This places a oil film on the surface of the stored water which stops the Lave breathing and results in their erradication allbeit for a while, The amount of oil is so small that it poses no threat to plants watered, and I wont tell if you dont. Jayar.

She's putting a mosquito dunk in one container, not in the others.  Not a practical person.

I like the oil idea!  Thanks!

We've had several deaths in the area due to West Nile Disease this summer.
