In the foreclosed homes with pools such as yours, roving city employees will jump the gate and throw fish in to chow down on the mosquito larvae. |

I found that 8 cent feeder goldfish do admirably well at controlling larvae. You might consider letting your chlorine go in advance of your next vacation then adding some goldfish before you leave. |

The Coke Bottle Flytrap is dumb. Fruit flies are probably hatching on the fruit and then live out their lives caught in the bottle. Fruit flies are one of those "spontaneous generation" "proofs". |

I thought about the fish, but this is better. If you read the annos of the earlier idea, you will see that the mosquitoes would probably avoid using a pool with fish in it. I WANT them to use the pool so that she doesn't use another better one as stagnant pools are not that hard to find. On that note, there were also larvae in my daughters plastic sand box because the wind blew the cover off so the rain could fill it. |
