    Mosquito Larvae in Water

    That's going to depend on day to day and work and life. People put different things in water to prevent the mosquito larvae. I'm just trying to find something simple and how much to put in about 5 gallons of water. I have a couple of smaller containers too.

    Mosquito Larvae in Water

    I do want to eventually get to that. It's just taking the time to run the pipe and set up the barrel to store the water for it. I've got a great place to put it so that the barrel and pipe would be out of any direct sunlight. They would have constant access to cool clean water.

    Poop in Laying Boxes

I don't understand. Why now? I mentioned the molting in case they sometimes do strange things when...
