PSA on controlling mosquitoes in your neighborhood and parks on Youtube (put a Hole-In-It) http://youtu.be/d7xZ9_h1M1k
This summer project reservoir found a trash can at the reservoir full of rain water, trash, and mosquitoe larvae. Something had to be done. We created a system to catch mosquito larvae and feed them to our fathead minnows, but we realize that there are trash cans everywhere that collect rain water and problably are not emptied of trash and water every week (mosquito eggs hatch in about 5 days in warm weather). Thus was born our initiative to "Put a Hole-In-It" campaign.
What you have to do is simply put a 1/4 inch or 1.5 cm hole in the bottom of your trash can to promote draining. That is it! You have a trash can that promotes good health because it doesn't catch rain water that can help breed mosquitoes.
Our project has reached out to the local government, state government, and federal government to help expand our efforts to put a hole-in-it initiative.
Check this video to see the need based on a trash can we found this summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjJFX_J22vc&feature=share&list=UUzJzMDKUpFzhspfmXeqfxzg
