Just a reminder that Mosquito Dunks are sold in 20-packs for approximately $26. More economical than the 6-packs, which are usually in the $8-15 range. And definitely avoid the 2-packs. These things can last for years on the shelf as long as they are kept out of sunlight and high temperatures. #MosquitoDunks #bti #bacteria #mosquitoes

If you're a fan of using Mosquito Dunks in buckets to control mosquitoes, please join me in leaving a comment for the patronizing jerks at Saginaw County Mosquito Control Commission, a taxpayer-funded entity. These organizations operate all over the U.S.A. and justify their large budgets (for planes, fogger trucks, etc.) by promoting the use of insecticides even when there is no public-health emergency. #MosquitoDunks #saginaw #saginawbay #michigan #mosquitoes #bti https://www.instagram.com/p/DL5Jm3xODBz/
Saginaw Mosquito Control on Instagram: "🚫🦟 Let’s Clear Up Some Misinformation 🦟🚫 We truly appreciate everyone’s passion for mosquito prevention but we want to address some misleading advice making the rounds about homemade “mosquito traps” or so-called “buckets of doom.” While the intentions are good, SCMAC does not recommend or endorse these DIY traps. In reality, it becomes more mosquito breeding habitat if not maintained or used properly. What actually works: • Dump and drain standing water weekly (flowerpots, tarps, tires, buckets, etc.) • Avoid dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active • Wear an EPA-approved repellent • Cover up with long sleeves and pants when possible • Submit a service request if you notice standing water or mosquito activity Mosquito dunks and granules can be effective but only when used properly in places where standing water is necessary (like fountains, troughs, or rain barrels). To emphasize: Dump or drain unnecessary water AND don’t create more places for mosquitoes to breed. SCMAC uses a science-based approach that includes larval and adult control, surveillance, and public education.

Mooi dat verbod op verkoop #Solvinity, nu snel af van #Palantir #BTI

@Madame Als ik de feiten juist heb, liet de @stasdigi de voorgenomen overname van #Solvinity door #Kyndryl toetsen door het #BTI op 7 november 2025, de overname werd op 5 november aangekondigd.

Pieter van Oordt zocht de #volkskrant op in februari 2026. Het onderzoek liep op dat moment al.

Van wanneer zijn de handtekeningen?

Ik zeg overigens niet dat de media aandacht geen effect heeft gehad, evenmin dat het de uitkomst wel heeft beïnvloed.

#Dutch #government adopts the advice of Investment Screening Office (#BTI) and decides to ban the acquisition of #Solvinity by #US company #Kyndryl. This keeps #DIGID, the security provider for governmental and healthcare online services, sovereign!

Helpful tips for dealing with mosquitoes this summer. Not only is the article full of excellent suggestions from experts, it's noteworthy that spraying yards with pyrethroids is never mentioned. That's likely because experts view it as a waste of money. Originally published in the Washington Post but repeated in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

How mosquito experts protect themselves in the summer

There are several safe insect repellents on the market, and steps you can take to prevent the critters from breeding around your home and in your neighborhood.

"Ondanks grote zorgen in de Tweede Kamer over de verkoop van de IT-dienstverlener #Solvinity aan het Amerikaanse #Kyndryl, wacht de regering eerst het onderzoek af van het Bureau Toetsing Investeringen (#BTI) dat nog maanden kan duren. Dat laat een woordvoerder van het ministerie van Economische Zaken (EZK) weten. Daarmee komt het kabinet dus zeer waarschijnlijk niet aan de wens van de Kamer tegemoet."

Kabinet negeert Kamermotie en laat Amerikaanse overname van beheerder DigiD voor nu ongemoeid

Het kabinet voert een zeer breed aangenomen motie over DigiD waarschijnlijk niet uit. De Kamer wilde het contract met dienstverlener Solvinity op korte termijn beëindigen.

Mijns inziens is toetsing heel zinvol, alleen zou BTI in een vergadering van pakweg 20 minuten klaar moeten zijn met deze overname, juist "omdat VS vanuit 'nationale veiligheid' alles kan afdwingen incl. inzage en uitschakelen". Het is heel verdacht dat hier geheimzinnig over wordt gedaan. "The Firewall" verdient daarom financiële steun. Net als MOB en FTM overigens.
