 Mosquitoes are often controlled with broad pesticide spraying, sometimes called fogging. These treatments don't just affect mosquitoes. They can kill caterpillars, fireflies, dragonflies, pollinators, and other wildlife, and they can be harmful to kids and pets. Mosquitoes are often controlled with broad pesticide spraying, sometimes called fogging.

 The Mosquito Bucket Challenge is a more targeted approach. The goal isn't to wipe out every mosquito, just to reduce the ones biting where you spend time outside, without harming the rest of the ecosystem. Simple, inexpensive, and better for biodiversity. The Mosquito Bucket Challenge is a more targeted approach.
