Preventing Mosquito Breeding in Carnivorous Plant Water Trays

A grower with multiple Sarracenia and flytraps in a large shared water tray asked how to prevent mosquito larvae. Idea: add fish.

Better Solutions

• Mosquito dunks (Bti bacteria) – kill larvae, safe for mammals, birds, fish, humans.
• Weekly tray emptying – effective for small collections.

Fish may not be practical and could introduce other issues.
