Default Mosquito larvae in Jun's "pond"

Thanks for the info. I don't wanna hafta deal with all those belly up
mosquito fish, even though they'd make good fertilizer for the water
chestnuts. Plus, I know it would get Jun real upset. I'll look into the
mosquito dunks.

If this is the small pond you had on that website, a few drops of veggie
oil will smother them. After a few days, put in an air stone and keep the
water agitated so new skitters won't be tempted to lay eggs. ~ jan
