July 13, 2007, Newsletter Issue #72: Controlling Mosquitoes

Tip of the Week

Draining standing water is one effective mosquito control method as it eliminates places where they could possibly breed. If you have a pond or water trough for animals, however, this isn't really a viable option.

One natural way to control mosquitoes in this type of situation is to purchase some mosquito-eating fish (such as the Gambusia affinis) and to plant them in the affected impoundments and waterways. A single fish may consume over a hundred mosquito larvae in one day.
