Our neighbors complained that my pond is breeding mosquitoes and rats. Does
anyone have articles saying this is a myth?
As far as larvae and eggs go, I don't see any. In fact, my theory is that
the pond is a trap. Mosquitoes might lay eggs but the fish eat them.
This is serious and I hope someone has some ready documentation.
I don't see that any article published would have anything to do with
your particular pond.
If it gets really serious I would have local authorities come out,
check the pond, and tell the neighbors that all is well.
public health, vector control, something like that.
My yard has a lot of pine trees and mosquitoes will lay eggs in drops
of water trapped on branches. Three years ago we couldn't stay outside
long. I have goldfish who are always skimming the top of the pond for
insects.Good luck.
