We've got goldfish in all our water butts.

They eat the larve and we don't get a lot of mozzies - possibly because of that.

That sounds like a great idea. Do they need anything to keep them happy, such as oxygenating plants or some such? Do they have to be a specific type of goldfish?

We are inundated too but they do make for good late might antics - 2 slightly drunk ladies, 2 fly swatters and a lot of dead mozzies to clear off the walls in the following morning.

As for getting bitten - OH, myself and older boy only get the very occassional bite - younger boy, bless me, gets massacred every might unlell I smother him in Mozzie Guard. WHY??

What an excellent idea. I don't suppose they'd like it much in our greywater tanks though.
