I am planning to create some dunk buckets today in my parents’ yard to try and keep them from spraying. They have 2.3 acres, so how many buckets will I need? There is also a small standing pond that host frogs, dragonflies, etc. where a lot of mosquito larvae develop, and I’ve seen mixed answers on whether it’s safe to put them in the pond. What say you when considering native amphibians and caterpillars?
