KILL EVERY Mosquito The AMISH Way. SAFE For Honey Bees & Pets!

My name is Elias Yoda. I am Amish. I keep eleven hives of honeybees on this farm, my wife tends a half-acre of flowers and herbs the pollinators depend on, and I have not been bitten by a mosquito at my own kitchen table in nine years. No bug zapper. No spray truck. No chemical company on retainer. And every female mosquito within a hundred yards of my farmhouse is, right now, flying toward a five-gallon bucket behind my woodshed to lay eggs that will be dead within twenty-four hours. In this video, I am going to walk you through exactly what I do, in the order I do it, for less than the cost of one professional spray treatment. You will learn the bucket-and-bits trick that handles the eggs at the source, the essential oil spray that takes care of the adults, the source reduction walk my grandfather did every Saturday morning, and the smudge can my grandmother lit at dusk on the porch. Every bit of it is safe for honeybees, butterflies, dogs, chickens, songbirds, and children. None of it requires electricity. None of it requires a contract. I am also going to tell you the part that might make you uneasy — which is that the lawn care companies in your town have known about the safe option for forty years, and most of them still spray your yard with something that kills the honeybees right along with the mosquitoes. The reason is simple, and I will explain it. Mosquitoes kill more people every year than any other animal on earth. This is serious business. But the way most of the country has been told to handle the problem is not the only way, it is not even the best way, it is just the way somebody makes money from. The honeybee population in this country is in trouble, and the same chemicals being used to kill mosquitoes in suburban yards are part of the reason. You can do better. We always have. Walk your property this weekend with a coffee can. Put out three buckets in hidden corners. Tell me in the comments where you live and what your mosquito situation is like right now. I read every one of them. And tell me if you put out a bucket. I want to hear how it goes. Next video: what my grandmother used to do to keep flies out of the kitchen in August, using a glass jar, a piece of paper, and one ingredient from the pantry you would never guess. It worked for a hundred years before sticky paper was invented and it still works better than anything you can buy. Subscribe so you do not miss it. Stay cool. Stay watchful. And remember — the people who built this country with their hands knew things we are only just starting to remember. #AmishWisdom #MosquitoControl #SaveTheBees #NaturalPestControl #Homesteading #OffGridLiving #BeeSafe #TraditionalSkills #BackyardMosquitoes #AmishLife #SelfReliance #OldWaysAreBest
