Gee Kathy, I never knew they were the ones that were biting me! The larvae
are attached to the spill way. Where would I put the dunk, so that it would
be effective?

Hi Leslie, they are the larvae of the black fly.
You can brush them off into the pond for fish
food. Or tie a Mosquito Dunk in the outlet to
the waterfall, they should die and get into the
pond that way for fast food.
You probably don't want them to hatch as they
bite!!

Hi Bonnie,
I've never had them but a ponder tried the Mosquito
Dunk against them and it worked. I'd try somehow
attaching the Dunk in the water before it reaches
the spillway. Hang it like a Christmas ornament?

Let me know how it works.

I've done some more reading on how the stuff in
the dunk works. The larvae injests it and then
it damages their digestive tract and they starve
to death.

(And for new ponders, it does not harm fish, frogs,
birds or pets)

kathy :- )
