Default Re: Mosquito larvae in pitchers - any conclusions?

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the update on this topic. Its good to know that the Aedes larvae will have a tough time in the pitchers. Will surely keep an eye out if anything is breeding in the pitchers of my plants and let you know if i find anything interesting.

Would it be safe to assume that pitchers with diluted fluid by rain water would be more conducive for Aedes larvae survival as appose to undiluted pitcher fluid?

On a similar note, do you know if sprinkling 'Abate' or other insecticides into the pitchers would affect the plant..?
