Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - How can I encourage more dragonflies?

I do have dragonflies at my pond, but the mosquitoes still are a problem during the evening. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can increase dragonfly populations & thus reduce mosquitoes?

Our county has a mosquito abatement service. Technicians come around during mosquito breeding season, sample skeeter habitat for larvae, and then add mosquito dunks, Bacillus thuringensis (sp?), cakes to the water.
Never have they found a single larva in in our fish pond. They do capture occasions wigglers in our sewage.lagoon.
I'd have to imagine that bt dunks could solve your larvae problems in your ponds without fishes.

You might consider mosquito fish which may already be in your main BOW. Some would remain after draining. They can live in water that won't support other fish. Water that gets too hot and too oxygen starved to support other fish. If you don't already have them and want some and don't mind making a trip to the Dallas area, we could meet up to get your start in few minutes at a pond I know of. Numbers are low this time of year but in June it should be a cinch. You just need few females to get started. Once mature, most all female are in a fertilized state.
