Minnows to the rescue in abandoned swimming pools - USATODAY.com
People are tossing larvicides into pools -- a great idea to reduce mosquito populations.
Unless the pool has already been stocked with mosquitofish (Gambusia).
Mosquitofish eat up to 300 larvae a day, and can be good choices for smaller, contained water areas like pools.
Well-meaning neighbors will hopefully be curtailed by signs that say "Minnows at Work." From the looks of the photo, I hope they're getting overtime.
