how big is the pond? you could add mosquito dunks periodically. in highly
mosquito-infested areas, there is some concern that the fish can't eat them
all. i have 300 gallons and the 5 fish don't eat all the mosquitos. so i add
the mosquito dunks and the problem is solved.

Hi,

I am about to repair the pond in my new house, and my wife is scared about
West Nile virus from mosquitoes that may hatch in our pond. I have assured
her that the combination of a pump & fish will prevent this from being a
risk, but she wants documented proof. If anyone can put me on to some
reliable sources it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
