GreeneHunter Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I've been putting a little Bleach in the puddles on our yard .... kills the mosquitos before they hatch ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that fare having a dog? I was out last night doing some flint and steel stuff and the freakin' bloodsuckers were already out and chased me back in the house. If that's safe to put around and not have to worry about harming the pup, I'd give it a try in a heart beat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured as much. We used some pet safe insecticide a few years ago that worked, but haven't found it again since, and we don't remember the name.

Farflung Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I have some "disks" that you throw in standing water or ponds that contains a bacteria that attacks and kills the mosquito larvae. Seemed to work pretty well the couple of years I've used it. supposedly it is harmless to pets, wildlife and people. Won't kill those that have already hatched. I believe they contain Bti, a bacterium that attacks larva of "skeeters" and also blackflies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
