You can actually add BTI (bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to the water to kill mosquito, blackfly, and fungus gnat larvae. It is EPA approved, isn't toxic to either humans or fish, and doesn't affect anything else.
We live in a mosquito haven (Arkansas) and my mother used it successfully to control mosquitoes in the little yard pond she had for a few years.
Too bad it didn't affect the snakes, though, which were a whole other problem....
