How do you kill dragonfly larvae?

The first order of business is to find the source of the larvae. Standing water, or a pond could be your source. Once located, you can use a net to scoop the larvae out, and place them with some water in a container with a lid and pour in chlorine bleach. The bleach will kill the dragonfly larvae.

Don't do it. Dragonflies nymphs are totally beneficial. They don't bite or sting. They eat mostly other insects, like mosquito larvae. add a comment

There is no reason to kill dragonfly nymphs. They are beneficial, they eat many mosquito larvae.

Copper based insecticides. If in aquarium make sure you don't have inverts or they'll die too.
