Many species of fish eagerly consume mosquito larvae.  You may have a
native or other locally-adapted minnow that will do the trick.
Here in Calif, both mosquito fish or goldfish do the trick.
I placed a few "feeder" goldfish into the small lily pond that I have at
home many years ago.  They quickly reproduce, and despite bird predation,
maintain a healthy stable population.  They do fine in winter so long as
the pond does not freeze to the bottom.
