Mosquitoes and tadpoles

[furcat]

It looks like the Gray Tree Frogs have come through and I have tadpoles again this year outside. I found the eggs about 5 days ago, fairly far along, and now I have little tadpoles all over the inside of the horse water tank. I am so excited to have them again this year!

However, I do have a problem with the mosquitoes. Does anyone know what I can do to control the mosquito larvae without harming my new crop of tadpoles? In the past I have just scooped them out with a little fish net from the pet store, but, is there a better solution out there? I miss a lot of them this way.

Thanks.

I think, You can use bio-control as the small fish to eat the mosquito larva.
I recommend the killifish or guppy that their mouth are small enough and cannot eat the tadepole.

That works. Afterwards do not release the guppies into the wild.

Thank you for your answers. I will give that a try.

I have also read that bacillus thuringiensis will control the mosquito larvae. Is this safe to use around the tadpoles?
