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? -- Bonnie NJ "kathy" wrote in message oups.com... 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!! kathy :-) www.blogfromthebog.com this week ~ introducing Miss Lily, a painted turtle Pond 101 page for new pond keepers ~ http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |

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 :- ) |
