Mosquitoes vs. Mustard: Scientists Are Working on an Organic Insecticide

And they're using a byproduct of mustard manufacturing to do it!

“Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) have shown that seed meal from plants in the mustard family can kill mosquito larvae….”

“More studies are planned, the researchers said, but the early evidence thus far points to a promising bio-based alternative to synthetic insecticides that can be derived from an inexpensive agricultural byproduct of processing mustard seed into oil and spices.”
