Cayman aggressively crop sprays but goodness knows what damage that does!

Seems really new and untested. I did some research and found some other products that seem more suited for ‘Island wide’ mosquito control.

The three main mosquito trap brands in the following article seem more superior to a “water filled plant pot with nice mosquito perfume and deadly gauze”.

Have a read.

Anything that kills mosquitoes is GREAT and I am no scientist or expert on mosquitoes so I must put my trust in the DOH and Vector Control

My grandpa had some of these plants, and was asked to remove them. There are a huge number of them on the trail near Lantana’s gate.

I had the pleasure of meeting the “mosquito man” once during his rounds and he really knows his stuff :)

I would love one in my yard. We make sure any possible breeding grounds are thwarted but still have a mosquito problem.

Those pesky neighbors haha.
