How to masacre a horde of mozzies
By accident I've found a really good way of killing an entire generation of mozzies and breaking the breeding cycle. It has seemed to massivley reduced the number of mozzies on my place so here goes to all you mozzie sufferers.
First clean up all debris, dead leaves etc. Find and get rid off all standing water or places it can settle around your home and pay special attention to making sure your gutters are clear. THEN......
Get a fairly large open top container about 1.5m by .5m by 200mm and put it in a semi shaded place and fill it with nice fresh water. On the next feeding frency and shag fest the females seem to take the easy option of laying thier eggs in the nice incubator you just created for them. The adults after doing the wild thing and getting Jiggy go off and die somewhere. Now leave the water a few weeks for the eggs to hatch and the lavae to come out and when your water bed looks like a moving alphabeti spagette soup, tip a cup full of chlorine in it and within a day they are all dead! Every last one of them and so you have broken the cycle for a good 6 weeks. Clean the water out and get rid of the chlorine smell then do it all again. Not only is mozzie genocide fun but for me it seems to have reduced the plague to a much more manageable problem.

I saw the word massacre and was drawn to it!
We had a few of our sheep done today, home kill and the guy who did it enjoys it a little too much!
Lets just say that if the animal lived in Suffolk he would be answering questions from the police!

Ooooohhhhh you are going to get a lot of bad mozzie-karma!!
Good tip though - and educational for children too, if slightly disturbing.
