I had actually been populating these back in 1975. I dug a hole in the back yard by the house large enough to put a 10 gallon tank in it. I then filled the tank with water and just left it. Every morning I would go outside with a fine mesh net and scoop out any and all larvae. I would then take them in side and put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. As I need them to feed fish, I would thaw it out in the tank and the fish loved them. I don't know if my neighbors complained or not, they never said anything. It was a great way of getting free live/frozen foods for my fish.
