MOSQUITOES!!! Please leave me alone!
ChadTower:
In the warmer months the mosquitoes were just unrelenting where I grew up. The people there just accepted them. If they cared, they used screenhouses and such outside. Not much going out after dark when they really buzz in. Older people would be so used to them we'd be sitting in a boat and my uncle would literally have 10 mosquitoes on his head and he was oblivious.

Seriously.
DO IT. :D

Nah. Throw a few pounds worth of sodium and potassium metal in the pond. You'll get an AMAZING fireworks show, and the resulting NaOH and KOH in the pond will kill anything in it! :applaud:

and pretty likely kill yourself too

Nah. Not if you break it up into separate five gram, maximum, sized chunks. One pound bricks? Yes. You will most likely wind up severely injured, if not dead.
Jdurg:
It's pretty easy actually. I can get a hold of it pretty easily. It's just that the cost makes it a bit difficult.
Ed_McCarron:
Just dump a bottle of old motor oil in there.
Not the best for the environment, but the film of oil will prevent the larvae from breathing and kill 'em off.
Its what everyone used to do before we gave a crap about the planet.
shmokes:
The pond is pretty big -- like three city blocks by four city blocks. I doubt a bottle of motor oil would have any appreciable effect. Maybe I can get a drum or two. :)
The mosquitoes just get in, you know, when we open the door I assume. The place actually seems sealed really well. I've yet to see a single spider, cockroach or lizard inside (unlike our last place, in which all three were daily occurrances). It's not like we have them all over our walls. You won't even know there's one in the house till you suddenly start itching, or see one every now and then. But all it takes is one and the little ---maternal-smurf--- will terrorize you -- biting you over and over again.
