Cool. I had an idea recently of creating breeding buckets that automatically flush the water onto the ground and refill every day or two. Mosquito breeding decoys without chemicals.
- bjackman 1y agoSome species of mosquitoes are able to survive their egg site drying out for quite some time. They go dormant and then hatch when they are rehydrated. I believe this is quite dependent on the timing in the lifecycle though so maybe there's a design for this that works regardless, just by getting the periodicity right. Edit: ah no, according to AI, the window before they become dessication-resistand is very short. However, another idea (actually even simpler, no moving parts): a UV lamp that turns on for an hour every day would probably kill them pretty dead!
