I dont know if setting up dunks in my yard would help or not. Obviously they will just keep successfully breeding right next door.

Pitch a few dunks over the fence into their pond every ither month. It'll help by August.
And if you can, go to Petco and get some Mosquito Fish and toss them in the neighbor's pond.

You throw the dunks directly into the pond?

Yes, I try to space them out as best I can but obviously they float where ever they go and I try to concentrate them more towards the woods side because thats where they are mainly at. Been doing it for a couple of years now and it seems to work.

Okay awesome. I get my backyard treated once a month and that has seemed to help, but my 1/2 acre pond in the front is an absolute nightmare when the sun goes down, and I even have aerators moving the water

My neighbors moved out and I peeked over their fence to see a small in ground “pond” with grass and stagnant water.
Throw dunks in there when they're not around.

Arrow Pest Service guy did a video about this. He used the pellet version of dunks. I plan to do it, but I need to find a small container or two that is not offensively colored.

You can buy nice looking 3-4 gallon planters to use, cost more but look better.
I may have used too much debris, them buckets are stank.
I have 6 out in front and back, noticed the front has a few dragonflies nearby, buckets in back been out the longest, and have lots of things swimming in there.

I've had mine out for about 3 weeks now. Amazon shows they were delivered on June 30th. I put them out the next morning. One bucket under my deck at the house, and another behind my kids swingset/playground/slide/fort at the back of the yard Cut grass late Saturday and didn't notice any swarming around. They don't really bite me that much, but my boys haven't been coming in from playing with a bunch of bites like they used to.
I used pine straw, some small twigs, and grass clibbins and one dunk in each. I'm going to add another dunk to each this week. I bought the 6 pack from Amazon.

I bought camo 5 gal buckets and black tops from Home Depot online.

I bought a half dozen home depot buckets with lids. Drilled two 1.5 inch holes in each lid. Put about three inches of water in. Dropped a dunk in each. And put them all 50-150ft away from the house.
Do your buckets get overdiluted when it rains? In the video someone posted here, the guy adds dowels to the lid to hold it up and it just seems extra af.
I think I'm gonna try drilling holes near the top of the buckets and leave the lids intact.
