At this point, “breaking and entering” the backyard to add some mosquito fish to the pool would be the easiest solution.

California has a free mosquito fish program where they supply local aquarium stores, pond retailers, basically anybody that already keeps fish alive as part of their business, and they agree to give them out for free. I almost always end up buying something when I get fish, so it’s a win-win for everyone. Maybe your state does too?

Or sneak in and toss a mosquito dunk in once a month?
I will ask about detached structures. Who is the type of person I would apply for service this kind of pesticide spraying service for orchids?

On the mosquito note, the family of the woman who used to live there lives a fair distance away and gave us permission to throw in mosquito dunks. I don’t know how they would feel about fish though. We have thrown dunks in a few times, but it doesn’t seem to be sufficient. There is water that has collected on the pool cover and I presume, in the pool. Last time I checked it looked like a pond and was full of vegetation and algae.

I just wouldn’t want to cause the family of the deceased any trouble or get the county involved just because they are truly very nice people. The woman who used to live in the house was also a very nice person. She lived there until she passed away a few months ago when she was in the upper 90s. Everyone in the neighborhood was quite sad to hear this as she was very well-liked. The family still comes to check on the place when they can. They also never complained about the various states of disrepair my yard has been in over the years and many times, it was pretty awful.

I also think it is not entirely their fault also as I have had mosquito problems for a long time. They just got exponentially worse.

Thank you again and I will keep everyone posted on the scale.
