Mosquito Dunks

[cecil30-30]

Ok,so I put a 15 gallon water tub beside my mineral site today.I do realize that its gonna be a mosquito pit,so I done some looking around and found these Mosquito Dunks,claim to last for 30days and you get 6 for around $10 which ain't to bad,since i'll be able to break them in half and use half of one for 30 days since 1 hole piece treats 100sqft.

I done some searching on the net,and found that they are safe around all live stock,and that its even safe for them to eat it.BUt I got to thinking,even though it isn't harmful to the deer, what do you think about the deer drinking it and them me eating the deer?? Wonder how that works?

I think you will be fine. We eat cattle and they "feed" it to them. I have read up on the stuff and I wouldn't worry about it.

Those dunks actually contain micro-organisms (bacteria) that kill mosquitoes but are harmless to everything else. They wont harm the deer or anyone that eats the deer.

I bought mine at the co-op back in April. I have a little goldfish pond in my backyard and they work great

I don't feel comfortable saying they would do no harm to deer just because they do no harm to cattle.

We can agree it's better than midges.

I'm not so sure. I don't feel comfortable at all with introducing bacteria to a water source being used by wildlife when research on the effects of that bacteria to wildlife don't exist.
