You can use mosquito dunks or the granules in the bird bath. It's still safe for birds. I have a tiny pond and a bird bath and I put the mosquito dunks in both, every month. I just break off a small piece to put in each since they're very small.

The only problem I have with the bird bath is that it grows red algae and the water looks like blood. That doesn't happen to my pond. Pouring hydrogen peroxide in the bird bath clears up the red algae.

Great suggestions have been submitted by everyone.

Let me add something, just in case.
I have three cats. And when the weather is good, they play in the backyard.

Please be careful where you place the bird baths.
I love all animals.

Much Good Luck with the new house !
