Spartan Mosquito, Tougher Than Tom, and Aion Products storefronts all down right now due to Shopify outage. Gullible Americans probably looking for back-up scams to buy.
Are there any competitors to Mosquito Dunks in the United States? Seems like lower prices might encourage more people to make mosquito-killing buckets. #mosquitoes #bti

The Wirecutter team at the New York Time did a deep dive into bug zappers. Not only do they fail to control mosquitoes they kill tens of thousands of innocent insects. Plus can splatter germs a surprising distance. #mosquitoes www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/b...
Resting butterfly - Hayden's Ringlet, Coenonympha haydenii (Montana). These aren't flashy butterflies, but I love the textures and the eyespots. #Bugsky 🐙🌿📷
If anyone needs a handout on using Mosquito Dunks to make mosquito traps, I added a 2-page PDF to my blog post on the topic. Would be a perfect insert for buckets that you gift to your neighbors. #mosquitoes colinpurrington.com/2024/08/bti-...
The nearly 2 million bug zappers sold in the United States each year cause the needless deaths of billions of innocent insects. We need to get the word out that they don't control mosquitoes. Please share this list with your neighbors. #mosquitoes #insects colinpurrington.com/2026/06/10-r...

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵
Next time you're outside, look a little closer at the forest floor, or even a patch of dirt. There's almost always a chance you'll find something wonderfully weird-looking (that's a compliment) — like this Chlorovibrissea melanochlora.
Bug zappers kill the wrong bugs—to control bugs without a spray repellent, use a spatial repellent or a fan instead.
