We put in a small decorative pond in our backyard and have noticed an increase in mosquitos! Would it help if we got some frogs for the pond? Do they eat mosquitos?

If you are not adverse to using something other than an amphibian in your pond, I've heard that a product called Mosquito Dunks works quite well. Have never used it myself, but heard it is non-toxic, but does a great job at killing mosquito larvae.

Try throwing in some minnows and goldfish - that should do the trick as they eat mosquito larvae

I had the same problem, but i just put a ton of fish in there. It really didn't matter what kind, and they went away. Best of Luck to you!
