Why Mosquito Jill

Because of our shared environment, I believe that I should be a good environmental steward and learn how to coexist with wildlife. No one likes mosquito bites, I sure don’t. I wanted a way to manage mosquitoes without killing off the pollinators, the insects that support birds and many other critters, and poisoning our plants.

I am a native plant gardener to support wildlife and I love watching critters in my Certified Wildlife Sanctuary, especially the butterflies over my Joe Pye and New York Ironweed in the summer. I also have nesting bluebirds, cardinals, wrens, and woodpeckers and they need the caterpillars to successfully raise their young. Woodland box turtles need the plant material, earthworms, slugs, and fruits from healthy vegetation.

I recently created a small trap that I feel complements each of my garden rooms at home. Sourcing the parts is a little tricky though. I want to make it easier to be environmentally responsible.

Mosquito Jill supplies kits for as a part of an integrated pest management solution to control mosquitoes. Mosquito Jill Kits come with the hard-to-find components to get started setting up your traps. Invest in some easy to maintain traps that can be used season after season. New Mosquito Dunks, water, and dried organic material is quite affordable compared to fogging.
