Need a cost effective/non toxic solution for my Mosquito pond
I hate mosquitos....
I have this pond in the back yard and mosquito clouds are starting to form. Is there any cost effective and non toxic way to eliminate and kill every single one of these lovely creatures? The plants in the ponds have died over winter and there are no fishes, I'm all for dumping anti-mosquito solutions into the pond to make it a mosquito hell. My only concern is I know racoons and neighborhood cats drink from my pond so I dont want animals getting sick. I do keep the waterfall pump going 24/7 to limit stagnant water.
I'm also considering drying out the pond, but I've never had a pond before this so I'm worried the pumps might break if the pond dry out, is this true?
Thanks!
