And as I mentioned in my case, along with the neem oil or mosquito-eating fish options, you can also buy a type of bacteria that is lethal to mosquito larva. I get it at the local hardware chain and I’ve seen it in granule form and in a floating wafer form that I just throw into my tubs of water.

I keep white cloud mountain minnows in my water lily tubs. Those small
fish need winter shelter in cold climates -- I keep an aquarium for them --
but they gobble mosquito larvae with diligence and enthusiasm. And they
are cute!

Should we be concerned about standing water in tubs and buckets for
moisture loving bulbs? How to manage this in light of zika and other
mosquito vectored virus diseases.
