Default Mosquitos

Think you will find these are midges (non biting and smaller than
mosquitoes) my pond has them. The newly arrived House Martins, Swifts and
Swallows love em. Its like having your own display of the Red Arrows when
they start feeding their young.

Hi

My pond has lately become overrun with horrible mosquitos. I have read

that
litttle fish are good to eat the larve, so i have bought 5 small 2'

goldfish
to gobble them up which they seeem to be doing to a certain extent. I am
trying to encourage natural pedators too.
I was wondering if you guys had any other ideas I could nab.
After reading lots of your posts Mosquito fish sounds quite good but im in
the UK so thats not an option.
Is there any way to get rid of the adult mosquitos as there are swams of
them around my pond?


Thanks in advance for any ideas

Cheryl
