[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What are these donut shaped things that Fish and Game throw into ditches?

Sorry, getting a photo upload error.

They're about 3" in diameter, and look like a donut made out of wood chipping/sawdust.

They put one about every 6-8 feet in flooded ditches that would not normally hold water.

The ditches are also loaded with toad tadpoles if that has anything to do with it.

Sound like mosquito killers to me. Look like this?

Probably one of those mosquito-killing pods. Has some sort of little animal that eats their larvae

Mosquito dunks. Puts a chemical film on top of the stagnant water that mosquito larvae can't breath through but other critters can.

I’ve heard they taste like urinal cakes. Why don’t you try one and let us know?

They also throw out little pouches of rabies vaccine. Suppose to smell like fish.

Stuff works pretty good. I buy 5 gal buckets of the loose bits (bacteria on corn cob) to use in my pond.

Noticeable cuts down on skeeters.

Are these things for sale?
Parents live around an area that gets a lot of stagnant water, could use a ton of these.

Edit: $9.50 for a 6-pack

bacillus thuringiensis. they use the genes from this bacteria to make genetically engineered seed. The bacteria causes crystals to form in the gut of the bug that eats it and basically dies from a hole in the gut.

I used a strain of the same thing to help prevent wax moths from destroying stored honeycomb. mixed with water and sprayed on the comb, when the moth larvae eat it, they die quick.
Wax moths are the debbil. Doesn't affect the bee larvae.

You should get some of those little "tadpoles", bring them inisde and raise them. A week or so should do it.

Used coffee grounds work. All you need to do is change the PH out of range by 1 point. No sketter larvae will hatch.

Ditch bagels.

Collect some and dry them out, hand out to homeless with those like cream cheese cups.

Neat, I've never see one of those.

Timely thread is timely.
Went out to my pond the other night, fairly healthy with minnows for mosquito control.

One of the smaller ponds had a die off of minnows and was crawling with skeeter wigglers.

Turned on pumps to cycle the water and push the wigglers to the big pond where minnows will make short work of everything that washed down. But running the pump is expensive.

Will grab some of the dunks for the little ponds til I re establish a breeding minnow population.

I chuck one into my fountain every winter/rainy season otherwise
