I have a large plastic bucket in my garden in which I collect
rainwater for my acid-loving plants. I fill plastic milk-bottles to
store it.
It has filled up with the recent rain.
Today I find that it is teeming with little larvae like mosquito
larvae.
Is there any way I can treat the water to kill them, or do I have to
waste the water?
In our limy water area rain water is preciousand I live in a terraced
house with no downpipe on my building!

Get yourself a cheap plastic Tea Strainer. If you have a neighbour with
tropical fish they will love those wrigglers.
