Shop Mosquito Jill

Mosquito Jill Kits are eco-friendly, economical, decorative, easy to clean mosquito larvae traps to be used as a part of an integrated pest management solution to control mosquitoes. Once you invest in the trap components, you just need to supply water, dried organic material, and a larvicide.

Mosquito Jill Kits come with the hard-to-find components to get started setting up your traps to lure female mosquitoes ready to lay eggs into the trap containing a larvicide. She lays her eggs and the Bacillus thuringiensis v. israelensis (Bti) bacteria prevent the larvae from become biting adults. One of the most commercially available bacteria products is Summit Chemical's Mosquito Dunks®. They provide a slow release (up to 30 days in water). Bti prevents the larvae from becoming biting adults.

The Mosquito Jill Hanging Trap 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. The parts are much easier to clean than the large buckets - a real win.

I love watching critters in my Certified Wildlife Sanctuary, especially the butterflies over my Joe Pye and New York Ironweed in the summer. Our yard hosts several bird nests each season and I enjoy seeing the bluebirds, woodpeckers, wrens, and finches finding food, finding shelter in the layered gardens, and bathing in our birdbath.

When I see the Mosquito Jill Hanging Trap in amongst the foliage, it looks like a decoration - more garden art and chic than a bucket.

Mosquito Dunks need to be purchased separately and they are readily available online as well as in most hardware stores and gardening stores. You supply the Bti, water, and dried organic material (instructions will be provided with your kit). For hanging kits, you also supply the shepherd hook or similar.

Whether you DIY with information at the Northern Virginia Bird Alliance Wildlife Sanctuary Program site, order Mosquito Jill Kit or detailed mini trap instructions, order Larvae Trap Maintenance Tracker and Tips Spreadsheet for essential maintenance, you will support our health and our environment.
