Killing mosquito larvae

[BennyD]

I actually kinda like this idea, because it would kinda sterilize the hole.. I would have to stand out there with my torch for a long time, though.

just get one of those water heating filament things from a hardware store.

they shouldn't be too expensive

I suppose you could use duct tape and a cut-open garbage bag to seal the hole?

Failing that, you can use the arc welder and have fried eggs for breakfast!

Arc welder, hmmm, how does one ground it. Attach to tree or water?

Go to the local lawn and garden center. I've seen this stuff to put in standing water that will kill larva, it was fairly cheap if I remember right too. Otherwise put some dry ice in there and freeze em. Or boil them by torching the water. I can think of all kinds of fun ways to get rid of them.

We have a winner. BHT is formed into mosquito rings that you throw into a water garden. BHT is harmless to anything that doesn't go through a larva stage. The rings float a layer of BHT over the surface of the water.

Go by the water garden dept. at Home Depot.
