Default Ponds & Mosquitoes

altho mosquitoes are rampant here, my friend with multiple large ponds in the water
plant business rarely has mosquitoes . too many mouths eating them. fish and
dragonfly nymphs eat mosquito larvae like crazy. Ingrid

I'm really just curious. I've often wondered how people (usually
people with lots of money) who have large plots of land with
large ponds (or tiny lakes) control mosquitoes. I guess I'm a bit
of a pessimist, because whenever I think about the possibility of
having a large pond on my property (after I win the lotto and buy
a ranch) I think the number of mosquitoes would make it very
unpleasant.

So what do they use to control mosquitoes? Fish? Giant mosquito
"dunks"??!!
