This product does an excellent job killing the mosquito larvae that grow in standing water. You can put it into puddles that have nowhere to drain after rain. We have many fewer mosquitos on our property since we started using this product.

Swampy and perpetually muddy areas abound around us and this product worked very well to broadcast over the mud and still water when the dunks were too compacted to help. It rains frequently and when it does, these muddy areas get about an inch of water and are perfect for mosquitos breeding. I started early this past spring and was very pleased with the lower mosquito count this summer.

Worked great for me - I live in a rural area with a lot of woods around the house. Just spread it around - specially in those still standing water spots (even if they seem dried out, or just "moist"). I had results after about a week. Will buy this again ...!

Note: seeing all those so called "get rid of mosquitoes" products made me very skeptical about products like this. This one however did the trick for me!

You can get picked up and carried away by the mosquitoes on my property. THEY GET BAD! But we have a 1/2 acre fish pond so I thought it was just going to be a fact of life. Ponds = blood suckers in the summer.

UNTIL we found this stuff.

I sprinkled some in the pond and started noticing within a few days that mosquitoes couldnt pick up and carry off the dog anymore... after a week, they are almost gone. Sure theres the occasional one or two buzzing around sticking their tongues out at us, but I can actually go out and enjoy my garden for a change without taking a bath in DEET first.

Very Very VERY pleased with this stuff and I will be buying more every season.

Now maybe my neighbors will talk to me and stop contemplating bulldozing my pond over! Ha!

To those that put a little around their yard and still find mosquitoes in their face, Im going to suggest that you are not finding the source of where they are coming from. This stuff isnt a "magic force field"...

Mosquito Bits and Mosquito dunks work great! Word of use for fish/turtle ponds. If you use either product I would advise putting it into a cutoff piece of stocking and floating it. Even though it states not harmful to fish etc. my turtles have tried to eat it and I didn't want that to happen so I pantyhosed it and it works great. You can even float the pantyhose under a floating fake lilly plant as not to see it, and just renew contents as you need to. Also remember to scatter it in any damp/wet type location bogs or just swales etc. Also, I have a end city storm drain on my property swale that always has Mosquitos coming from it, so I tied a Mosquito dunk to a long piece of twine and attached it to the grate so that it just floats on the surface of the water that sits stagnant at the bottom of the drain when there is no rain flushing the system. Remember larvae hatches quickly. Also just another note Muscovy ducks are awesome at eating their weight in mosquito larvae so be friendly to them "city dwellers".

The way this stuff works is like rat poison. You sprinkle it in ponds etc and the baby mosquitos eat it then die. It works great for the first month but you'll need to re-apply (even if you still see pellets around) because they seem to "use up" with time.
I bought another round for next spring. The canister has a shake top so you can just walk around banging the canister against your leg and spread the stuff easily. Also it comes off if you want to transfer it to another spreader type container.

We have a fountain in our front yard. But, it is often turned off due to wind, etc. It was a mosquito breeding ground - no doubt about it. This product was recommended to us by friends who have a fairly large decorative pond off their back deck. They actually gave me some to try before I bought. This works. AND it is safe for wildlife. The birds use our fountain for water and baths, no problem. Our friends have fish in their pond while using this - no problem. It kills the mosquitoes, not the other wildlife.

It doesn't take much to do the job - a teaspoon in our fountain every couple of weeks is more than enough. This size container will probably last us for years.

Very versatile, effective product for the elimination of mosquito larvae. I purchased a case of Mosquito Bits directly from Summit in 2002, and 8 years later the granules of the last container are still effective (I know since I deliberately use my rain barrel as a trap)! I have found that they can be easily broadcast into areas that mosquito "dunks" (the company also makes) are too large for. Strongly recommended.

I've used these for years in water gardens around my yard and they work very well and do not hurt the birds or any other animal as far as I can tell. If you look into a water feature and see something wriggling that look like small shrimp, you need these as those are mosquito larva.

I live in one of those towns that is in the local news every year for having illness-born mosquitoes.
We have standing water and small streams around our property, so we are a prime location for mosquitoes to breed.
With that said, these pellets really seem to work.
I have applied these bits generously, and there has been a very noticeable and dramatic drop in the number of mosquitoes around our house. I re-apply about every 6-8 weeks during the summer.
I recommend these.
