Mosquito control in Bromeliads

Hi There,
as there is so much talk on mosquito control could anybody give me some
advise on how to control moisquitos in bromeliads.
I have tried the method of putting a drop of Dursban into the water
filled cavities on the leaf ends. The plants dont like this at all.
Anybody for some other good idea?
Best Regards
Peter Wunderlin

Peter,
Sounds to me like you are on the right track... Keep trying different
chemicals till you find one that the plants do not mind.

I may be repeating a suggestion that has already been given, but...
You may want to try B.t. var. israeliensis for your mosquito larvae
problem.
