Question 1

What area/volume of water does one Dunk treat?

Accepted Answer

APPLICATION RATES
Mosquito Larvae:
Flooded larvae breeding sites: Use one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK® for up to 100 sq. ft.
of surface area of containerized standing water, regardless of depth. In highly polluted
water with a high organic content, the application rate may have to be increased to as
much as four (4) times the normal dosage based upon evaluation by the user.
When larval populations are high, aquatic vegetation dense, or the water highly polluted
at the time of dunks use, pre-treatment with SUMMIT MOSQUITO BITS® is
recommended. Dunks will then suppress larval development for up to 30 days or more.
Some larvae which hatch after dunk application may partially develop before dying.
Allow a minimum of 48 hours for their control.
Pre-Flood treatment: Apply one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK® to each 100 sq. ft. of
containerized surface which is known or suspected breeding site when flooded.
Evaporative Coolers: Apply one (1) MOSQUITO DUNK® to each 100 sq. ft. of Cooler
box or for smaller Coolers refer to the table below for applications rate.

such as containerized standing water in bird baths, old automobile tires, rain barrels,
abandoned or unused swimming pools (particularly above ground types), tree holes, roof

MOSQUITO DUNKS® can be broken and used as shown in the following table, the
amount dependent upon the surface area of the water in the treatment site.

Use quantity                        ¼ Dunk             ½ Dunk           1 Dunk          1 Dunk per 100 sq. ft.

Question 2

Will they harm my carp and Goldfish

Accepted Answer

No. I have personally microchipped hundreds of carp and know of others who have chipped thousands and I have no knowledge of any carp having any bad reactions either during chipping or since.

Question 3

If I buy the large pack and have some left over, will they be effective say 9 months later?

Accepted Answer

I am just about to find out....  :)  Will update in a few weeks when it's clear what is or is not happening. They were certainly effective all last summer.

Question 4

I put one in my pond which has goldfish in it and they are fine.
