ScotTi said: I have used a little cold black coffee or a pinch of used coffee grounds in the bromeliad cups for years to control mosquitos from breeding in my bromelaids.

Oh my goodness, this is great news! I had no idea coffee was a mosquito repellent and I think, from now on I will brew a pot of coffee for me and one for the broms (cooled of course!)
