Virus Mosquitoes (as we have so many rain barrels) but to hell with

For those that are lucky enough to have rain barrels, Mosquito Dunks will
keep the mosquitoes from reproducing. They can be purchased at pond
supply stores and feed stores. They work! I put them in my fish pond
every month and also drop half a one in each of the bubble basins at our
intersection.

It is a natural bacteria the kills the mosquito larvae when they feed but
is harmless to everything else. The water can safely water pets and be
used in the garden.

I have a product which sounds similar "Aquabac". Currently have no
standing water though.
