No just prinkle it around, instructions are on the container, do not water immediately after aplication. Grains are so small they are hardly noticable. I sprinkle once in the early spring and seldome have to re use. Great stuff

Yes, there are mosquito rings that can be purchases. It releases bacteria into the water killing the larve

The label instructions read: "Sprinkle one teaspoon per 25 square feet or one tablespoon per 75 square feet (1/2 lb. per 2178 square feet) over the surface of the containerized water found around the home. MOSQUITO BITS should be applied uniformly. A seven to fourteen day interval between applications should be employed. Longer periods of mosquito suppression will be obtained with subsequent use of MOSQUITO BITS. MOSQUITO BITS can be applied to areas that contain aquatic life, fish and plants. Can be applied to areas used by or in contact with humans, animals, horses, livestock, pets, birds or wildlife. DO NOT APPLY TO finished, treated human drinking water sources." I have found the bits to be absolutely wonderful for ground that stays wet after it rains: flower pots, areas under overhanging bushes, or simply where the sun does not dry things quickly. If you have drainage ditches that do not keep standing water, but the soil stays wet for awhile, these are great. If you have a lot of land, the 20 lb. tubs are perfect for refilling the shaker container (30 oz.).

Live in Tampa FL and we have LOTS of mosquitos and flying bugs in general. Seems to be working pretty good, the container at the bottom gets pretty full with those pesky bugs. We're in the pool in the evening and we are not getting bombarded with Mosquitos. It works better than any of the other bug zappers I have tried. I would recommend you try it and give it a few days to work as the instruction direct.

I use it at the Lake of the Ozarks on our porch which is elevated. We generally don't get mosquitos.

If you don't run your fountain often, it becomes a haven for mosquitos; they like standing water. If you drain it when not in use, you have no issue. If you don't drain the fountain, then you should use the dunks. It is pretty effective.

I couldn't tell you the answer to that, but I can say that this was exactly my experience last summer. I tried everything I could think of, and nothing worked. This year we went with a mosquito spraying service instead; I wish I had just done that last year.

No I use Bona products and clear water. I have low back and hip problems and love my bona pads.

Yes, just start out using less drops than is suggested. Add it to the water & shake well. :-) Happy Health!

On the label below 'Directions for Use:', the second paragraph titled 'Outdoor Use Around The Household' says, (2nd paragraph) MOSQUITO BITS can be applied to areas that contain aquatic life, fish and plants. Can be applied to areas used by or in contact with humans, animals, horses, livestock, pets, birds or wildlife. DO NOT APPLY TO finished, treated human drinking water sources.

I got it to kill some othrt bugs. But you add it to pond water, I think, for mosquitoes.

I have used these here in Connecticut near the water with no bites, when everyone else was getting bites, but obviously if you are traveling somewhere where malaria is prevelent you shouldn't rely solely on this product, which may or may not work with your individual body chemistry.

Yes, we used it in our pond with no problems to the fish or pets drinking the water. However, I must say, in our fountain, despite using this product we had mosquito larvae develop so I have not purchased anymore of it as it did not prevent mosquito larvae. I have switched back to using Mosquito dunks which are also safe for ponds - they work great but are a bit more messy as they break down.

Well, it didn't work for me in standing water, so I wouldn't be confident in it working for that either. I'd use those mosquito dunks

If you don't put the sprinkler head on it to give the higher spray pattern, you can let it bubble out and you don't lose water from birdbath. These are great to keep water moving and discourage mosquito's. If your not going to be near to keep water level up then simply unplug source of power!

I am just guessing that if it is muddy, there has to be water of some kind around/near. It seems logical it would work, but I don't know for sure. This might be a question to direct to the manufacturer, sending them photos of the area and more detailed information about if there is any water, if the water is trickling away down the creek so any BT would be moved off the target area, etc. Is there grass that is wet growing near the muddy creek which would hold moisture and provide mosquito breeding grounds? You may have to expand your treatment area to beyond just the muddy creek. Good luck!

I would not advise that given the electrical plug is not rated for outdoor use... I live in FL and there are plenty of mosquitoes inside and I've never seen them lay eggs in water (though I recommend cleaning it at least once a month and exchanging filter).
