The mosquitos will drown as soon as they touch the water. No surface tension on the water to hold them up or create a bubble around their breathing apparatus. Good way to drown fleas too. Put the dish under a night light to attract the fleas.

Just received---haven't tried it yet: "Here's a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum: Put some water in a white dinner plate and add a couple of drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent. Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area. I'm not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, or what, but mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture, and usually within about 10 feet of the plate. Check this out---it works just super!" jr -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
