I use mosquito dunks. They work really well unless you get a lot of high winds bringing in new bugs. They work because the dunk is a dry bacteria that, when wet, feed on mosquito larvae. So, since mosquitoes don't usually travel very far (I think I read 100 meters on average) you kill the next generation and that really reduces the nuisance. Better to use a black or red bucket, they like dark colors. I use black. Fill em 1/3 full and toss in a dunk. Then set the bucket in a shady area where mosquitoes hang out in the daytime. I usually toss a few handfuls of dry grass clippings in there, something about that helps attract them. They like to lay their eggs in the stagnant water, so I use this all summer and just try to keep the water at a relatively stable level. As far as I can tell, when they work best, they stink from the stagnant water. I have about 1000sq feet of back yard and I have 3 buckets placed around in shady corners. They say to replace the dunks every 60 days or so, but I go by when I stop seeing the dunk floating on top, and that can be as fast at 3 weeks in the heat. Love the channel!

I love Empire Zoysia too. As I am at the same latitude as Indianapolis, I mainly have an undefined bluegrass mixed with Barenbrug RPR, but in an isolated area I put down a few plugs of some awful zoysia whose canopy seems to mainly grow laterally and crosshatched and very little UP. I plan to kill that off and replace with Empire zoysia. We had that in my childhood yard and love the feel of it on my bare feet right after a mow.

I have a related question about your use of quinclorac to push back the St. Augustine from Zoysia. As a new DYI hobbyist, I have a Zeon Zoysia lawn that is being invaded by both St. Augustine and wild bermuda. In my scenario (where I'm trying to eliminate both St. Augustine and bermuda) - I recently (2 days ago) an application of Fusilade II with Triclopyr as the zoysia "safener" - would you suggest a separate application of quinclorac in this case? I know from your prior videos, you did them as separate processes (quinclorac for St. Augustine, and Fusilade + recognition for bermuda - but since I'm trying to get rid of both, I was hoping that a single go with Fusilade + Triclopyr would work for me).

Definitely not how mosquito dunks work. They are meant to be dropped into standing water where larvae are swimming around (future mosquitos), not for you to create the standing water and attract them to your yard. I buy the dunk flakes and sprinkle them into my underground downspouts where the water does not get completely drained out. They say you can use them in birdbaths, etc.
@Thelawncarenut
2 ай бұрын
I didnt know the mosquitos could tell the difference in water I just set out in buckets vs water that is naturally standing. I also don't think the dunks do any type of "attracting" necessarily - the water is what attracts and yes, the mosquitos in my yard, I want them attracted to the bucket traps (with dunks in them) so they can breed there and die rather than somewhere else. As far as the flakes, those are an excellent idea too and I did not know they came in that format. I'll give that a try for areas where I do have natural standing water.

I found an old 15 year old jug of Bayer Advanced Weed Control that had Dicamba/24-D/Quinclorac in it, maybe 100mL left in it and used it on a part of my back lawn incase it killed everything or did nothing, well it worked like a charm and killed everything in that section except the grass of course which was totally weed/clover/crabgrass infested somehow. I should have used it on the front lawn areas where the crabgrass is lol damn it !!! They banned that stuff years ago unfortunately.
