What can I put in my pond to eat all the bugs?

Question

I am in the process of moving from my house to an apartment in another state. I am unable to bring the school of pond goldfish and koi with me- and have donated them to the local koi society since I couldn't be sure of their care after I move.

But this leaves the 900-gallon pond empty and open for take over by mosquito larvae, worms, the little trilobite things under the rocks... etc.

My realtor isn't willing to do much more then top the pond off as needed- so chemicals or things that need fed are out.

Is there something I can put in the pond that I can leave behind safely that will eat the bugs, fend for itself, and do fine with the food supply provided by nature? (Esp. if the pond filter gets turned off or clogged up.) I am looking for ideas that don't involve more goldfish.

~Thank you

Answer 1

venus fly trap

Answer 2

There is a product out there that a person can put into ponds or bird bath etc... so the mosiquito larva will not hatch. But I cannot think of the name of it at moment,,,, but local hardware stores should have this in stock. Good luck!

Answer 3

Go to a nearby creek or stream and find some frogs to put in the pond, they love bugs.
