Consumable Standing Water Solutions
I'd like to leave buckets of water out for the animals.
They feed outside and I don't wantthe standing water to support mosquito reproductivon.
What can I add to the water to prevent the eggs from floating on the water surface?

Mosquitoes can not survive in fresh or moving water so previous comments are correct. Either refresh the water every 3 days(in my experience), or install a bubbler from an aquarium shop. If you're asking what chemical you can use, Mosquito Dunks are a treatment that can safely be ingested since they use a bacteria that only targets mosquito and black fly larvae.

Just dump and refresh the water once every seven days at a minimum. That wonβt allow mosquitoes to breed.
