BigMoneyGrip, are these mosquitos the flying kind or the "boatman & backswimmer kinds"? And like liquidsquid said " the FHM probably were devoured before they had a chance to eat the mosquiotos (larvae)".

This is my mosquito control. Lights bring them in and the minnows just gobble them up. The yearling perch have learned where there is a free lunch too and come up to grab them. Cheers Don.

I really appreciate the help here. They don't really look like any of the ones on the wiki links. These look like a fat mosquito but with long rear legs. I'm gonna try to get a picture this weekend.
Thanks.

Hi, this is my first post but I've been sneaking around for quiet a while.
Any how, is there anything I can do to control mosquitoes on my pond? The pond is 1/2 ~ 3/4 acre, and is spring fed. It has LMB, BG and this spring I put 10lbs of FHM in. I was under the impression that the FHM would eat the mosquito larvae.
Thanks for your help,
Scott. BigMoneyGrip, I just re-read your post... Now is it the mosquitoes (or other water bugs) "ON" you pond that bother you? Or do you get bit away from the pond? Baby gills will feast on mosquito larvae(sp) also. And they love those little (water boatmen and striders also). When do they bite you?
