What is the best (& most natural) way to kill misquitoes (larvae) in the water?
Question:
Answers:
I have always used vegetable oil myself, it rises to the top of the water and makes it impossible for the larvae to breath. Then they die!
Pour out the water.
Vegetable oil
dump it onto the ground
I've heard that tadpoles and fish (like KOI) feed on mosquito larvae. It depends on where the water is if it's a pond in the back yard try converting it into a fish pond. If it's just standing water due to rain or flooding then you may want to spary it with ammonia (Windex), or Vinegar, or Bleach (this is the best).
Pour out any water that has accumulated. Turn things that might catch water upside down when not being used. If it has to have water in it, add a small amount of bleach or vegetable oil to the water. Bleach will kill them outright and the vegetable oil will basically drown them. Good luck.
Everyone who said spray some vegetable oil on the water got it right. To prevent them at all, empty any standing water that you can, but the vegy oil will take care of it every time.
