Thanx flumpy1 I'll try the tights idea. At present I use them as ties softer on the stems than commercial ties n last ages, often not as noticeable either (depending on the colour used obviously!). My problem is the bird bath I have. Anyone know how long mozzies stay as larva? In other words how often do I need to totally replace the water to prevent them becoming adult?

yes that's what I do too!
I'd love to see a photo of that
devine it also supposedly killed the mosquito larva.
My water butts both have lids on but the water smells like rotten eggs, could I try the citronella oil in them Napo?
Potassium permanganate from the chemist will sweeten the water. Not tried citronella, not sure you could water plants with citronella
Thanks Anonimouse I'll get some of that.
I wash my bird bath out quit often as it gets quite mucky looking with them all washing in there. Then they drink their own bath water

Having a lid on your water butt will also stop and bees falling in and drowning. Never mind any other inquisitive creatures
