I'm looking for effective ways to eliminate mosquitoes from my garden. I have a large pot filled with water, but it also houses some fish, so that's not the source of the issue. Any suggestions?

I recommend using mosquito dunks for the standing water or maybe a small water pump to keep it moving. Honestly, if you're open to it, you could consider spraying your yard, but that comes with its own set of issues. I personally go through a ton of DEET every summer!
You could try using mosquito bits which can be sprinkled into the soil or any standing water. Another fun option is to invest in some carnivorous plants, and maybe even add a few frogs to the mix—they can help keep the mosquito population in check!
Yeah, but those sprays can wipe out beneficial insects too, like bees. Balancing control is key! BTI dunks are a better eco-friendly option for the area.
