Mosquito fish

[lulupalooza]

Need a little advice here. As it stands right now the i/g pool at our rental house is just sitting open and is basically a bull frog pond. I was wondering if it was worth putting those mosquito fish in as the mosquitos will be really, really bad over there in the near future. Or should I just get it covered up and let it be?

Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to or be able to maintain the pool chemistry so it doesn't turn into a pond?

Personally, I'd rather take some time and a little money to enjoy it if possible. Might even help find a new renter if they see it sparkling instead of seeing it as a toxic dump. Install one of those Liquidators, fill it up set it close to correct, put the pump on a timer, forget it about it for a few weeks.
