How do you control the mosquitos with all that much water around?

Big every pond and tub has mosquito fish called Gambusi in it. They eat mosquito larvae. As a matter of fact Gambusi multiply every 30 days like guppies in the summer. They are ravenous. As a matter of fact I have so many I have to feed them because there is not enough mosquito larvae. I have no more misquitos than you might in your yard. I also have many many dragonflies that also eat mosquitos. And also goldfish,and koi in my ponds.

Just -the statue is electric. Jenny- I have 6 in ground ponds and 4 above ground ponds and 2 preformed ponds. My garden is not big I just have cramed everything close together. I think I have run out of space to put anymore ponds.

Hi Vickie H;
Very nice set up. I'd estimate you have 2 ponds 10 tubs. Built in mosquito control-nice. And you like roses. I'm impressed.
