This really works. I hung four buckets at each corner of my yard, filled with water and I use the granular mosquito bits (not dunks), each week. Hardly any moquitos at all.

NOTE: standing water ATTRACTS mosquitoes, so if you create such a bucket/container in your garden/yard, you will attract mosquitoes (to kill their larvae). However, if you have standing water nearby that you can't access to use the dunks there, creating the standing water area will let you eliminate many mosquitoes that would otherwise hatch in the inaccessible standing water.

Obviously, you wouldn’t do this where there’s a chance toddlers or babies could fall in. Or if there’s a possibility of having house guests over who would bring their little one. I know of someone who was having a baby shower celebration at their house and someone brought their 2 year old. The older kids were playing with the little one and everyone was having a good time. People went in and out and suddenly the mother noticed the little one wasn’t near her or with the other kids. They said they brought him back to mom but mom was chatting and wasn’t notified they were bringing him back. They found him drowned in the backyard pool, which only takes a few minutes 😢 Please be careful with standing water.

Modern pennies don't have much copper in them. Before 1982 they were 95% copper and 5% zinc. After 1982 they were made with 5% copper and 95% zinc. The more modern penny has the least amount of copper with a small 2.5% copper plating and a 97.5% zinc base.
