Your information was very good and to the point. However, why not mention a little-known method of controlling the larvae by means of a common household product -- olive oil or vegetable oil? This method only works in a body of still water, such as a bucket, a barrel or any other small water-holding item. Simply add a small amount of oil to the surface of the water. This will rapidly spread over the entire surface, thereby creating a thin layer of oil which the breathing tube of the larvae cannot penetrate. This, in turn, causes suffocation of the larvae. and no harm results from using the water as intended. Try this technique and let me know of your success (or failure, as the case may be). Docturf
