Default Water gardens and mosquitos.

I love water gardens but anywhere you have water you have
mosquitos. Here are some helpful hints to rid you of them.

Water garden is one of the nicest things you can have in your garden or backyard, anyone that has planned adding a water garden to a house knows that this is not a simple task, there is a lot of thinking and planning to be done when considering this wonderful addition to the house.
As summer nears many water garden owners realize that there is a significant problem with some water gardens, this is a problem that is not evident and sometimes doesn't even show itself before the early days of the summer.

We have a small pond with an angel that pours water back into the pond so the water is moving all the time. We also have a resident frog and a lot of toads around so I think we have the mosquito problem taken care of.

What is the real problem with mosquitos can be water that is standing in bowls or tubs or anything left outside that can catch the rain and therefore be a breeding ground for mosquitos. Its good to take a look around and see what might be a problem and then take care of it to prevent any further problems.
