There is a pothole in grassy area beside my back driveway where you turn in. Has standing water in it. Would these work in that situation?

I am going to say it won't be effective as some of the chemicals probably leached into the ground instead of staying in the standing water. It is probably best trying to fill the pothole.

Yes! Musquito dunks should work wherever there is standin water. I use them in my waterfall to keep the pest at bay.
1659177
Yes, it will but I would only use 1/4 of a tablet. We had the same problem and it worked without killing the grass. Hope this helps.
1659178
Yes they sure will. We use two for our 800 gallon pond and they work awesomely. I have not seen any mosquitos or larvae since I started using them. Once they are completely dissolved would be the time when you replace it.
1659179
Theoretically - Yes, they would. I personally did not find that these killed the mosquito larvae so I switched to Mosquito dunks instead which definitely killed the larvae. from the answers posted it seems some people had success with this product and some did not. I don't know what the variables are - maybe they have some bad batches? But the product was not 100% reliable for me.

No, There are useless. I used in a small pond and they did nothing. Even when I used the whole pack. Don't buy!

Absolutely! My yard is the epitome of clay soil and this thing works great. They do recommend not plugging in very wet conditions.

Depends. If you spike them in, water will go in a freeze the holes in the winter and break the pavement. But, if you fill with sand or something no problem. If you hammer spikes into the ground, I wouldn't recommend removal in winter.

I am not sure if they would work or not. Depends how muddy it is. I keep them at my back door when I am gardening and if I need to come into the house I put them over my garden shoes. Love them

They are like any other paver. You will have to dig down the height of the paver to get it to lay level with the grass. If done correctly you shouldn't have any problem mowing the lawn.

I've only used them as outdoor planters with the plug out, so I'm not sure whether there would be any leakage with the plugs remaining in,
1253882
yes. If the soil is damp. I turned the plugger upside down and tapped it on the ground and out came the plugs in perfect form.

These are not protected from rain etc., and so are not rated for outdoor use. However wrapping them in permanent watertight plastic, AND with necessary draining hole or provision IN THE BOTTOM should make them usable outdoors.

If you have a crack of say 1/2 to 3/4 inch depth and 3/8 to 1/4 inch width, it is better to use a proven filler (like U.S. ColdPatch) first then seal off the filled-in area with Cpi Driveway Medic. The product you asked me about does not fill in cracks or worse, pot holes.

Yes, you can set them in concrete. They won't last long no matter what you install them in. If you can arrange to drain the water from the holes in the concrete, you may have better luck than we have had with mounting them flush in the lawn at the edges of the driveway. At $25 a pop, they are too expensive for me to keep replacing.

It will overflow. If the water starts running differently, check to see if something (like leaves) is blocking the flow because this can burn the motor. I don't recommend putting soil in the holes, because we did this, and when it rained, the dirt went into the main water area and almost ruined it. I actually had to end up using artificial plants. Poor design.

I would think so. If the driveway asphalt or rough concrete you should be fine.

Yes. The hole is for hanging them from a pot rack. I realize that when putting them in the dish washer, the water stays in the hole. You will need to drain the water out.

I bought them to work in the pond as they are waterproof, but I think that they are tough enough to work in the rose bushes! That's a great idea; I may try it myself.

Sounds like a leak. As long as the water isn't reaching the drivers and the wiring on the inside they should work fine. You may have to find a way to refill the water though if it leaks.

Yes, the drainage holes are pre-drilled, but they're not that big. I imagine you can cover them with glue, tape or whatever waterproof material you'd like to use - even a lining of aluminum foil might do the trick.

I had these installed by contractors under my house. They did use the HD style buckets to put them in at ground level. We have had a very rainy spring and so far, they have worked great.
