B Good to pollinators – B Buckets for a safe earth

come on in & stay awhile

Let us introduce you to mosquito buckets, an easy and effective method of mosquito control! Safe for pollinators and other wildlife, they use a naturally-occurring bacterium (Bti) to eliminate mosquito larvae before they become biting adults. We want to make buckets for you — or show you how.

LEARN MORE

Mosquito buckets are a safer alternative to chemical insecticides. The pyrethroids used by many mosquito abatement companies are harmful to beneficial, non-target insects, and they only kill a fraction of flying adult mosquitoes. These sprays can also drift to neighboring properties during application and persist for weeks; they contaminate waterways, and disrupt food chains.

We provide individual consultations and group workshops; we travel and speak throughout and beyond Decatur. Please visit us frequently, check out our blog, sign up for our mailing list and announcements, and email us if you have interest or questions. We are bbucketsconnect@gmail.com.
