i'd use fire but theres vegetation around the edge:(

how about reading the posts above you if you really want to solve this problem
(I'm assuming that this is a thread that you want to SERIOUSLY know how to remove the larvae)

its lazy sunday, op no wanna go to the store! plus i was looking for a folksy solution, you know how like you can kill slugs with salt. going to the store is kinda um.. derrr.;)

so yes, they mostly still live, i see a few bodies, but salt/dish detergent/laundry detergent/softner/ajax/bleach have not killed them :p
go figure.

as for the dunks, it maybe too late because of all the other stuff i put in it. the bacteria you mentioned may not survive?

i'm just probably going to scoop it out.


as for the bees, thats sad. i like honey. course if they were africanized, then they were playing with fire..literally and figuratively. those kinds deserve to die.

Put some chlorine in there.

A week ago, there was an episode of Dirty Jobs. The guy uses a certain type of fish that eat them.
