Re: [RC] jWest Nile Vaccine, where? - Barbara McCraryWill mosquito fish survive raids from raccoons?

Okay, I knew it would click in my mind at some point! The mosquito fish are Gambusia affinis.....check with your ag dept. and see if your county has a mosquito abatement program. Often these fish are offered free to the public. They do quite well in water troughs. They are fairly smally, guppy size.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Simpson" <simpson@xxxxxxxx>They are still saying the best precautions are vaccinating and gettingridof standing water around barns. They did say there are some type offishyou can even put in the stock tanks that eat misqueto larve. I haven't quite gotten that one figured out yet. LisaThey are known as "mosquito fish", I forget the species name; but can call Mosquito abatement if you want it. Our Mosquito Abatement dept (we live near a big lake), gives them out for free.
