Oh my gosh, TheInfiniteSadness, that's a lot of ticks! ![:o](https://storage.proboards.com/1346968/images/qR8ZNGpUWQWwoD0u9W_z.gif) I think I have only ever had one tick on me once in my life and I only discovered that I had had it on me after it was gone. I would have freaked out if I had seen it on my skin, ![confused0061](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/confused/confused0061.gif)

Only once have the guys had to put on bug spray so far since winter went away and we're outside everyday most of the day. There are hardly any flies, horse flies and other bugs. I didn't believe in global warming when they came up with it and because of this I do now.

And I keep on saying, where are the mosquitos this year? Seriously I have hardly seen any. I thought it might be due to the pond that my son made this year, but I agree with you, TheInfiniteSadness, I think it's a much wider issue. Global warming is showing up in ways that we cannot deny it any longer.

Is the pond constantly aerated or flowing? If it isn't , it would be a good place for mosquitos to lay eggs. If you have fish in there it would be fine.

My late father-in-law had a pond about 4 ft by 6 ft and put goldfish in it. The biggest got to be about 8 inches long.

So far the goldfish are loving it and they are growing.

Yeah I know. They're also an invasive species. They are that. It's illegal to throw them in to lakes and seas. They grow really big and just take over.

hank, what do you mean by 'they are carp'? A carp is a type of fish. It’s also ugly and smelly, and too nasty and bony to eat. Yet it’s a goldfish by birth.

Oh I never knew that!
I thought carp were carp and goldfish were something different.
I do remember going fishing years back and catching a carp. I was living in an apartment then. I took that carp home and left it on the table, then I left to go on vacation. Came back a week later and the whole floor was smelling of fish!
(I felt so embarrassed)
