Some horse barns put little fishes in the drinking water troughs. The fish eat the larvae. The horses ignore the fish.

They just started doing this in Florida to deal with dengue cases this year. Mosquito fish!

I guess lets see how it goes in Florida then :)
> Mosquitofish were introduced directly into ecosystems in many parts of the world as a biocontrol to lower mosquito populations which in turn negatively affected many other species in each distinct bioregion. Mosquitofish in Australia are classified as a noxious pest and may have exacerbated the mosquito problem in many areas by outcompeting native invertebrate predators of mosquito larvae.
