Question:
I have a small ornamental pond (500 gallons) and there are mosquito
larvae in it. I DO NOT want to use fish as larvae control so need to
know about chemical treatments. The pond serves as a large water dish
for my six cats so I need something which kills the mosquitos, but is
safe for cats. Any proven suggestions?
Answer:
-Mosquito Dunks are safe and can be found almost everywhere.
-Sorry to be dumb, but what please, is a mosquito dunk?
- you can find them at most stores that carry insect control stuff, but I
have never seen a brand "Mosquito Dunks" - you will have to look for a
treatment for standing water that will kill mosquito larvae - the one I saw
was granular, but I decided to stay with the "a couple(or a few or more) of
goldfish" solution - it wasn't cheap and had to be re-applied every few
weeks, as well the goldfish thing took care of it and that is all they got
to eat - as well, they got to come indoors to the acquarium for the winter
before I put them up for adoption the following summer to some lucky ponder
