MOSQUITO-FISH ~ CONTROL MOSQUITO'S WITH THE PERFECT TRAP!

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone say they don’t want a pond because of mosquitoes. 

A pond is an excellent natural remedy to kill mosquitoes. A mosquito is going to find somewhere to lay their larva one way or another and a pond is the best place they could possibly do their dirty little deed.

Even a pond with some circulation will act as a mosquito magnet. There is usually a place in a pond for them to plant their larva such as between Lillie pad leaves or between the stems of marginal plants in the shallows.

What’s so great about this is that they are feeding your fish and protecting you from itchy little bites at the same time.

You will need to add fish to your pond for it to work of course. A common $0.10 gold fish works great. I have three gold fish that have been living in a half barrel container garden for two years now. There are also some other neat little fish often overlooked for this purpose.

 

Mosquito-fish which you can purchase here when they are available are perfect for the task. Their name says it all.

So next time your being annoyed by a pesky mosquito try building your own trap, disguise it as a water garden and fill it with fish!

Please be a responsible gardener and do not allow non native plants & fish to escape their contained environment!
