[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 303784, member: 3444"] I would go out and buy a dozen or so mosquito fish and secretly dump them in there. They will multiply prolifically and will keep the mosquitos under control. Our vector control department actually gives the fish away free to homeowners with ponds because we have a problem with the West Nile virus here, which is transmitted to birds (and humans) by infected mosquitos. We started out with about a dozen mosquito fish about 8 years ago and I've never ever had to buy more. They just constantly reproduce! If there get to be too many, they tend to cannibalize the smaller ones. Oh, and they give live birth, and we often have very tiny fish swimming around in our pond :D [/QUOTE]
