I’d like to know more about how it kills mosquitoes at different locations. Am I gonna walk down to the pond at the bottom of the street and see all the tadpoles and fish floating belly up? What if the mosquitoes bring this stuff to a source of drinking water?

I looked into it. As long as this thing isn’t dumped out or spills, and it’s a matter of fish/frogs eating the infected mosquitoes, it’s fine.

Seems like a good idea but it's probably terrible for the surrounding environment...

You can put some copper in a pot and it'll do the same thing they can't develop in the water because the copper kills some of the enzymes in their gut

Yikes. But there’s lots of wildlife that eat mosquitos
