Are mosquitos bad for my pond

How or should I get rid of them ?

When cleaning the settlement chamber , threw some of the Mozzie lavae into the pond ....they wer gone in a flash ..

Koi loves Mosquitos and I would leave them. I have seen people installing a mosquito/flying insect zapper over their pond. All the zapped insects fall in the pond and creates a great food source.

Normally you do not find a lot of mosquitos around your ponds and filters as they normally do not breed in flowing water. Might be that your flow rate is very low?

When I still had my ‘’top-in-top-out’’ filter system and used shading net as filter media, I had the same scenario. Many mosquitoes, some blood worms, flees, water flees between small stones in waterfall and some funny creatures that looked like crickets without legs and a ‘ flat- scorpion- look- alike ‘ tail. (Still don’t know what this was) I can not blame the shading cloth but rather the stagnant water that I created with my brilliant ‘to-be found- at-my-home-only’ filter system.

tanx for the replys ...

in the pond there is no mosquitos or lavae ...just in the chamber !

So dont see it as a problem.

For me mozzies is a real issue because we live in a malaria area.

I introduced some mollies and platies into my filters and they control the mozzies well.
