We have a bigger house but the kids have more or less moved out of town with jobs just making ocassional visits. Upstairs are two bathrooms we don't use much but do on ocassion. Today my wife said there was something swimming in one of the toilets and lo and behold - mosquito larvae - Mosquitos are bad in the Houston area and we've been seeing a bunch get in the house when we open the doors. So there's probably 100 or more larvae swimming in the bowl, I flush the toilet and they're gone from the house at least.
So the mosquito breeding cycle is a 5-14 days, I think. How do I keep mosquitos from breeding when a few get in the house? The obvious is to flush the water every few days, but that requires remembering. Is there something I can put in the tank that will leach a few drops into the tank and keep them from breeding when that water sits in the bowl? I want to be able to use the toilets from time to time so just dropping something in the bowl won't get it.
