Join the Mosquito Bucket Challenge

Looking for a way to control mosquitoes without harming bees, butterflies, birds, or other local wildlife? We are excited to share the Mosquito Bucket Challenge, a simple, effective, and pollinator-friendly solution promoted by Homegrown National Park.

Instead of using fogging sprays, which kill far more than just mosquitoes, the Mosquito Bucket Challenge uses a bucket of standing water combined with a natural soil bacterium called Bti (found in mosquito dunks). This safely targets mosquito larvae before they hatch, protecting your yard and the island’s biodiversity.

It is safe for pollinators, safe for kids and pets, and it targets mosquito breeding at the source.

Want to take part? Visit Homegrown National Park to learn how to set up your own mosquito bucket and help protect both your family and our local ecosystem. Share your photos online using #MosquitoBucketChallenge and help spread the word.
