i decided to give ChatGPT a name.

i dunno why, but i guess i just kind of like the anthropomorphism of Siri, Alexa, and Claude.

Early spring is a great time to set out mosquito-killing buckets around your yard. They work, are cheap, and don't kill other wildlife. #mosquitoes https://colinpurrington.com/2024/08/bti-honeypot-traps/
Bti honeypot traps for killing mosquito larvae

An easy way to kill thousands of mosquitoes each summer is to set out a container of water, add a handful of leaves or hay, then drop in 1/4 of a Mosquito Dunk, a compressed, shelf-stable form of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti") that kills larvae. Pregnant females will oviposit onto the wa
