How to get rid of mosquitoes in a small lake?

Question

I own a small lake. Give or take it is about 50 meters wide and 100 meters long (or 160 feet wide, 320 feet long), with a max depth of around 2 meters / 6.5 feet. One third of the lake is surrounded by forest, the rest is grass / small enclaves of tress. The lake absorbes only rainwater from the surrounding residential area. There is a small outlet towards a much larger lake close by. The lake was recently dredge to remove many years of plantlife that had almost turned it into a swamp. The lake has a large number of mosquitoes. There is also quite many frogs and a few birds that live near the lake. **What can I do to decrease the amount of mosquitoes in the lake?** For example, can I set up certain nesting boxes that will attract birds or bats that will eat a large number of mosquitoes? Can I release certain fish that thrive on mosquites?

Answer 1

Lily pads for the frogs to have a platform to eat the mosquitoes. Also, grow carnivorous plants on the shores of the lake. The pitcher plant would probably be your best bet.

This would locate your lake to a tropical region, but I saw no limits on the location.
