    Mosquito larvae in reservoir

    Hi,

    I have mosquito larvae in my reservoir. I emptied it yesterday and there are about 1/3 as many in there today as there was yesterday.

    Any tips anyone?

    Mosquito Bits are what I use in my bird baths. Used to use for fungus gnats before I learned prevention. Soil grower.

      It could be because your res temp is a bit high? What is the temperature at normally?

      As for getting rid of them, there are some natural ways to get rid of them on this page: https://www.peststrategies.com/pest-...s/kill-larvae/

        I always thought water had to be stagnant to support mosquito larvae?

          It does. Perhaps they need more air in the res?

          "Fountains or waterfalls that increase water circulation also reduce water stagnation.
          Moving water deters mosquito breeding." https://ucanr.edu/datastoreFiles/268-585.pdf

        IDK, I might just toss a gold fish or 2 in the tank! I dont do hydro!
        Not stagnant but standing water (no motion) is a breading ground for these blood suckers!
