It depends on the tadpoles. Some are strictly herbivorous and will only eat algae and plants. Their mouthparts are specialised for this diet and they cannot eat other food, ie. mosquito wrigglers. Most largeish tadpoles will attack mosquito wrigglers.
"If you're worried about mosquito problems, drop in a few 'Blue Eyes' fish. I hear they thrive on on mosquito larvae and won't hurt the frogs. These fish should be available from your local fish-carrying pet stores".
Danger: I assume that Blue-eyes are gambusia, probably Gambusia holbrookii. They will take care of the mozzies but they will also kill tadpoles.

Hi! Yes turtles can and do eat mosquito larvae. Depending on the species of turtle they eat vegetation and insects that are a part of their environment. This would include the larvae of mosquitoes and other insects whose larvae dwell in the pond, stream or lakes. It would probably be more likely for the baby turtles to eat the larvae since the adult turtle would require a more substantial diet to fill up. Turtles can be opportunistic when it comes to their appetite ... some will even eat meat.
