Default Mosquito Larvae

I have been advised that I need some fish in my deliberately fishless
wildlife pond to control the mosquitoes. My neighbour has offered
sticklebacks. But now, probably because of the lack of fish, I have very
large numbers diving beetles and water boatmen on the surface - which I
would guess would eat any larvae.

I would rather not have fish cos I don't want have to have pumps and filters
etc. Anyone any experience of how well my predatory insects might control
mosquitoes?

thanks

You can use mosquito dunks. They look like little donuts, and are
essentially BT specific to mosquitoes.
