I was so pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness of the mosquito dunks! They worked incredibly well. And I noticed that toward the end of the season (September-October), I got careless about replacing the dunks bc there had been NO mosquitos all year – just a week or so past when I would have put more dunks out had I stuck to my scheduled – and they were back – they were awful.
Highly recommend trying this! Comparatively speaking, cost-wise, we’re talking $1-$2 PER DUNK. For us, that was $10 a month instead of $150 a month for spray (which didn’t work that well). I order a giant box from Amazon and it covered all our needs and then some – so shared with friends and neighbors. And if you start with your set up in the spring before the mosquitos come out, you will not believe how pleasant the evening hours are outside your home, no spray, no pesticides, no skeeters. I spent weeks in spring and summer gardening late afternoon to evening without a trace of mosquitos – I’ve never been able to do that before – even when we were doing the yard sprays, because the mosquitos were always out at that hour, regardless. Bottom line, they work, as long as you follow the recommendations – you will NOT be disappointed!
