Dave,

We have a variation on #2 -- an old bath tub filled with mud and water from Jordan Lake, which brought with it some plants, fish, and frogs. The fish really do keep away mosquitos. A light hung over it attracts moths to feed the frogs. There's now a little water fall thing that drips over the light. And the frogs give a bit of a concert during cocktail hour.

I'm not much of a photographer, and I've really been after pictures of the frogs, but the attachments will give you an idea of what it looks like.

Can anyone recommend an effective mosquito treatment for ~1/4 acre near a creek?

So far, those I've received include:

1. Always have citronella burning.
2. Put goldfish in nearby creek (to eat larva).
3. Napalm the region.

I'm looking for something that doesn't always have to be burning and that, hopefully, will have minor impact on the local ecology. Someone else mentioned a device that burns gas to create heat, which attracts the mosquitos and then they are sucked in and, I guess, cremated.

Thanks for any suggestions!
