Free Mosquitofish Distribution
July 20 @ 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
These little fish are hearty, hungry, and free to Collier County residents!
Have standing water in your yard?
Are swales filling with rainwater?
Have a non-working fountain full of standing water?
If so, mosquitoes will be laying their eggs in that standing water. We can help: Our tanks are full of hungry mosquitofish ready to gobble up mosquito larvae in the standing water around your home!
These Gambusia holbrooki from local freshwater canals are members of the guppy family and reach about 2″ in length — each one eats about 100 larvae daily. Where to use them? Flooded yards, swales, and borrow pits are perfect spots, as well as non-working fountains and pools. Have fish in your pond? Please let them do the job for you, and let the mosquitofish work where there aren’t other fish.
