Mosquito Larvae

July 13th, 2005 · No Comments

I was just checking on the lettuce under lights in the basement and found some mosquito larvae in the water. It was no surprise, I had been expecting them. I dumped the existing water, filled the container with fresh and added abt 1tbs of 20-20-20 to the 6 gallons of water. I couldn’t find the fish tank air pump I had planned on using there so I guess I’ll have to procure one soon. Not sure that will work but since the females prefer to lay their eggs in standing water perhaps I can get enough circulation in there to make it unattractive.
