mosquito larvae have to come to the surface to breathe. Back in the day we used a little machine oil.

Wow!
I always put clove powder in my oatmeal, which I eat for breakfast
3 or 4 times a week.
I can now rest assured that I will probably never have live
mosquito larvae in my bowl of oatmeal.
What great news this is!

There are many natural oils that insects don’t like. German households plant geraniums in boxes outside windows as it repels flies.

It was good stuff! I think it’s still available online.
I have used it for toothaches to kill the pain until I could get to the dentist.

Forget clove oil if you have dogs or cats:
Cats are especially sensitive to many essential oils and even just a couple of licks can be harmful. Many essential oils, such as eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, cinnamon, citrus, oregano, clove, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, wintergreen, and ylang ylang are toxic to pets.

Clove Oil is like Heroin for fish. You put that in water you will not only kill Mosquito larva, but all the fish will also OD and die.

I just can’t help but be skeptical when “scientists” are quoted. And Experts.
