Whisky Barrel Pond - Mozzie larvae.

However, although the fish weren't happy, the mozzie larvae obviously
are - there are thousands of them, and I can see that when they fledge
into grown-up mozzies I'm going to have a house full of the little
blighters.
Any suggestions how I can get rid of them safely - both dog and cat
are partial to a drink from the barrel?

Something to break the surface tension of the water so the larvae
cannot breath. Perhaps a _couple_ of drops of washing up liquid or a
_minute_ amount of WD40.
