We have a small garden pond in our backyard and I'm thinking that's one place where mosquitos might be breeding. I heard you can buy mosquito eating fish but I can't find a place to buy them. Hopefully our cat won't eat them! I'm in Summerville. Any other ideas for natural mosquito control? I've been looking for a product called Mosquito Barrier or Garlic Barrier but no one seems to carry it. We're being swarmed by mosquitos day and night! Help! Thanks!!!!
Thanks! I will try everything! I want my backyard back! I think the compost pile is somehow breeding them too. My vegetable garden has lots of mosquitos.
I suggest you contact your department of health. They might give you free fish to control your mosquito... I know that some places do it, not sure of charleston...
call the Charleston County Mosquito Abatement dept and ask them what kind of minnows they use to eat squito larva...
they have their own test tank with a certain type of minnow in it that eats them, I've seen it in their compound off of Azalea Dr.
still sitting water is worse but running water will still have larva in it as well... their tank has circulating water in it with plenty of larva for the minnows to eat
unless it's like white water rapids of course... lol
I thank you all as well for the advice on mosquitos in the pond / backyard. we also have a compost area next to the garden, that may be the reasone for all those tiny vermon. I heard that there are " mosquito fish " that you can buy online. just google it in a question form," where can I buy mosquito fish ? " you may have some luck there too. =-) smiles fellow warriors of the tiny ones.
