They were awful here and there are two pounds in the land behind me. I had mentioned stocking those too and was told that if they are more than 100 yards away (they are) not to worry about about them. I was told mosquitoes stay within 100 yards of their larvae.

I stocked my 1/8+ acre pond with 7 lbs of FHM, 4 lbs of tilapia, 60 CNBG, 25 HBG, and 8 bass. Pretty much immediatally noticed a reduction in the amount of mosquitoes. Realize the fish don't eat mosquitoes, they eat their larvae. If I remember correctly, the females (the ones that bite) live 4-6 weeks. Males 10 days. So it takes a month to get rid of them. I can go to my pond now and not get a single mosquito bite. So the 100 yard thing seems to be true.

FYI, the lady I talked to at Overton's told me BG will eat more of them than FHM...not sure if that was just a sales pitch or what.
