We would only recommend using Altosid Pro-G Mosquito Larvicide in areas of water retention like: bird baths, flowerpots, ornamental fountains, gutters, water gardens, rain barrels, pool covers, puddles, horse troughs and other animal drinking water receptacles. We would not recommend creating areas of water retention because it doesn't work like a bait. We recommend to read over the article on How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes for further tips and info:

If you are looking for the most effective mosquito control products that can be sprayed directly onto your lawn, bushes, ornamentals and trees, please refer to our Professional Mosquito Control Kit, which includes two insecticide concentrates, and an Insect Growth Regulator.
The Altosid Pro-G would not be for mixing in water and applying as a spray, as its designed to break down over time when applied directly to standing water areas. The Altosid Liquid Larvicide however could be used in that manner for large area broadcast applications where shallow standing water exists.
Altosid Pro-G Mosquito Larvicide cannot be used for bed bug treatment, it is a product for use outside in standing water only. If you are dealing with an active bed bug infestation I would recommend one of our Bed Bug Kits. Each of the products included in the kit will help eliminate an active bed bug infestation.
Altosid Pro-G Mosquito Larvacide should be applied to those low areas that hold water when it rains. Applications should be continued throughout the entire season to maintain adequate control. Treated larvae continue to develop normally to the pupal stage where they die. Please read and follow the label instructions.
You can use anywhere from ¼ tsp. to 1 cup of Altosid Pro-G Mosquito Larvicide depending on the amount of area you need to treat. Please consult the application table on p. 2 of the product label to find the appropriate rate for your needs.
