You can use mosquito fish as some have suggested although the feral cats in my
neighborhood ripped apart my water garden to get to them. I now use Bt in the
form of "Mosquito Dunks", which kills the larvae. But I may have to abondon my
water garden as it is a major draw for these cats, and they leave behind feces
and fleas and dead birds...I like cats but there has to be a limit... spay
spay spay neuter neuter neuter!
