Mosquito control




by neonavy » 19/08/13, 12:47

Hello,
Following a trip to Vietnam, I discovered that the peasants who collected rainwater (without running water) put an Alum stone in their jar to kill the mosquito larvae.
After asking the question to "more scientific sources", it follows that a study has been made ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3081732/ ), but despite the encouraging results have not led anywhere ... That said the results are there and I think it is a method that wins to be known by its economic and ecological (and that's why I come and post on this forum)! ;-)

I only follow your advice ;-)
You are free to delete the excess message.
(note that it would be good to keep the link to the study)

No worries, we can keep the 2 subjects! This could develop towards the more general mosquito control ...

Thanks for the study link!

what is the principle of the alum stone against mosquitoes?

clarify water like any aluminum flocculant, aluminum sulfate, or poly aluminum chloride?

if that is dangerous, the flocculating effect only works if the pH of the water is close to 7 ... if the PH is acidic or basic, the aluminum in the alum or flocculant dissolved in water with no useful effect

Regarding the use of water made thus treated in Vietnam I could not say, but for "home" we just need to treat the unused water point (neither for drinking nor for the garden) , and that's good because at home I have 45M3 which I only use to grow mosquitoes! ;-)

I find in this link only a 4 page pdf

I see a dosage in PPM of alum giving a certain mortality of the mosquito larvae but without giving the influence of the other characteristics of the water

I am afraid that the alum will only be effective in fairly pure water, and will have no effect in dirty water that mosquitoes like, unless you put huge quantities

Good evening, there are also candles and citronella lamp oil as a repellant, with an old oil lamp
I doubt it will be effective or grow lemongrass in the garden, more natural 8)

there are also UV but solar lamps
who grills mosquitoes

they also sell anti-mosquito bracelets with ultra sound but good probably a gadget

some carnivorous plants : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:
can be other repellents like citronella
