Thought so as well, but we have six “ponds”, 15G to 150G. They attract enough tadpoles, dragonfly larva and other critters to eat the mosquitoes.
When I put in the 150G last spring, figured it would take a year to get rolling. Nope. Within a couple of weeks it was live and kicking. Probably boosted it by throwing native plants from the rivers and swamps in there, dirt and all.
In any case, someone on here turned me onto “mosquito dunk”. It’s a little doughnut of mosquito killing bacteria. Setup 5G buckets around camp and dosed them. I don’t have actual evidence, but it sure seemed to help.
