A little OT, but we get dragonflies about a week after the mosquitoes
start, and they basically keep the mosquitoes down for the entire season.
I wonder if dragonfly larvae is something which could be purchased to go
into a pond (or sump or side pond for critters). I could see golf
courses keeping up a good demand for it, so it might be a commercial
product.

Hi Bill - I don't know where you are, I'm in SW Ont and the mosquitoes
aren't a problem here until ~ July - any fish I want to put in are in
by then - my Lotus pots (up on the deck)only get the eggs from spawning
in the pond to control them and the fry are really small until then and
they take care of all the mosquito larvae in the still water of the
Lotus pots
Just my experience :~ Gale :~)

Does anyone know the temp (water/air) at which Mosquitoes can breed? I
brought the fish indoors this year, and I l will likely transfer the
plants/fish outside at the same time. This means the fish will be
going out later than the skeeters will start. My pond pump is
otherwise occupied, so I'm considering a new pump/fountain to keep the
Mosquitoes at bay until the fish go out.
