Mosquitoes?
Is there a natural product one can pour onto stagnant water to stop mossies
from breeding? -- |

A small amount of any oil will do - cheap cooking oil or linseed oil are both fine. Just enough to form a one-molecule thick layer. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Thanks all, I'll try the oil. Goldfish aren't an option, as I have a wily
Kingfisher and I'm fed up with feeding him. :o) -- |

pps. Should mention that the "oil" is for an old well - so no harm to the
Kingfisher, who wouldn't be able to get down that far ;o). "Pinetree" wrote in message news:Z4Bci.25733$nx3.10121@edtnps89... Thanks all, I'll try the oil. Goldfish aren't an option, as I have a wily Kingfisher and I'm fed up with feeding him. :o) -- |

I don't think anyone would keep goldfish down a well; not a lot of sunshine
down there g What's that rhyme: "Who put him in, little Tommy Tin?" Isn't that about a well? Someone just suggested goldfish, which I have in the ponds; but I was explaining humorously why not goldfish, and that oil was the better plan for the well. Not much else down there to harm; not even beneficial frogs. The Kingfisher was a joke ;o) "K" wrote in message ... Pinetree writes pps.
