come on in & stay awhile
Let us introduce you to mosquito buckets, an easy and effective method of mosquito control! Safe for pollinators and other wildlife, they use a naturally-occurring bacterium (Bti) to eliminate mosquito larvae before they become biting adults. We want to make buckets for you — or show you how.
About Us
Mosquito buckets are a safer alternative to chemical insecticides. The pyrethroids used by many mosquito abatement companies are harmful to beneficial, non-target insects, and they only kill a fraction of flying adult mosquitoes. These sprays can also drift to neighboring properties during application and persist for weeks; they contaminate waterways, and disrupt food chains.

We provide individual consultations and group workshops; we speak about supporting pollinators, throughout and beyond Decatur.
