Mosquito dunks kill larvae. It's used as a mosquito population control in warmer areas. Me and a few neighbors used it this year with good results.

Get a 5 gallon bucket, add water/grass/leaves/dunk and let it sit for a few weeks. Every few weeks add more dunks. Put a stick in there so small animals don't get stuck when trying to get a drink.

Some horse barns put little fishes in the drinking water troughs. The fish eat the larvae. The horses ignore the fish.

I've read this is safe for animals and bees.
