Default pond, mosquitoes & DDT - potential neighbour dispute

Now you presumable want to keep your wildlife pond and would not wish to
introduce one of the larger species of fish so may I suggest Sticklebacks to
take care of any larvae there may be.
Finally, I too suffer badly from some insect bites and therefore wear a good
insect repellent containing DEET, perhaps you could suggest they do to.


Unfortunately sticklebacks can be just as destructive to wildlife as larger
fish. They'll certainly take out newt tadpoles.
