How do I make MOSQUITO TEA from mosquito dunks? Does that take care of the little buggers permanently? TIA. 😊💚🪴 ## 9개의 댓글 ### Josie님이 2024-05-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. Not sure about mosquito tea but peroxide and water mix to water the plant is helpful. So it diatomaceous earth and cinnamon but if you want to kill the larvae then peroxide is the way to go. #### Lynda님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. What is your dilution rate for the hydrogen peroxide/water mix? TIA 😊💚🪴 #### Josie님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water. 😊 #### Lynda님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. So, for a gallon of water, would you add 4 cups of peroxide??? That seems like such a lot! 😊💚🪴 #### Josie님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. I do 4 cups water 1 cup peroxide. A lot of people use the 7% peroxide bottle to mix with water but mines 3% #### Josie님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. Yeah essentially because peroxide solution is already diluted you’re just further diluting it. But def make sure you aren’t above 7% unless you plant to dilute it more. ### Terrarimum님이 2024-05-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. I haven’t tried the dunk type, but I’d make sure you’re leaving the dunk in the water for a while (few hours?) and shaking it up before watering. Also, if you use hot water the way you would with real tea, you’ll kill the helpful orgs in the dunks/mosquito bits right off. Also, the tea won’t kill the adults - just larvae. #### Lynda님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. TXS for your info! I have the dunks and may give it a try…😊💚🪴 #### Sandy님이 2024-05-02에 답변했습니다. Agree!! For the larvae, I use a product called mosquito bits. 4 tbsp per gallon of water and soak for 30 minutes. Shake before using. Package recommends 3 treatments but I have needed to do a few more. I use sticky tape for the adults. Good luck!! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
