It is not recommended to use [[Yellow Pikmin]] to defeat Bulborb Larva due to Yellow Pikmin's high trajectory when thrown; the Pikmin may miss the enemy and it may be too late to whistle them back. [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] may also be an unwise choice due to lower speed. [[White Pikmin]] are a better choice for speed, and in case the Bulborb Larva eats the Pikmin, their poison will at least finish them off.

Another way is to get the Pikmin you do not need and try to kill them in swarms by controlling them, though this method is not recommended as it can cause a lot of fatalities.

In ''Pikmin 4'', if the player is using [[Rock Pikmin]] to beat the Empress Bulblax while it is producing larvae, the Rock Pikmin can prove surprisingly effective against these creatures. Rock Pikmin dealing damage immediately means a larva has no time to eat an attacking Rock Pikmin, then the Rock Pikmin will tumble back often acting as a natural dodge if it ends up tumbling away from the larvae. Rock Pikmin can also attack the Empress on the side she is rolling without fearing death, allowing them to stay on the side with less larvae. This fact proves extra effective in [[Cavern for a King]].


To note is that you should be careful with the pools of nectar, seeing that if a non-flower Pikmin touches one, it will drink it and become vulnerable until it is done.
