Hi, I missed the post regarding mosquito control around the pond. I used
to
think my goldfish were keeping things under control, now I'm beginning to
think having the pond is making things worse! Do you think the larvae
can
live in the plants around the pond or on top of the net (which has some
bits
of algae that I haven't sprayed off). Maybe I should do a thorough hose
off of everything around the pond. And that mosquito dunk (?) that I've
heard of, is it really safe for the fish...or would another method work?

The larvae will only survive and flourish in standing water, so if you water
is moving you are probably safe. Some skeeter eaters are also good to have,
IMHO. The dunks work very well, and I can say from personal experience, they
have never harmed my fish.

BV.
