Actually, here in Florida where the state bird should be the

having a pond or water feature stocked with fish reduces the mosquito

growing to adults in other habitats. Before we installed the water
feature
we couldn't stay outside in the summer longer than 10 minutes without
the
skeeters writing their names on us..........now we can sit outside all
night.


Before you had the water feature, the mosquitoes in your yard were bread
someplace else. I understand that the larvae in your pond never mature,
but what happened to the mosquitoes that were maturing where they were
coming from before?
