Answer

Do natural swimming ponds attract mosquitoes?

No; moving, oxygenated water and the wildlife it attracts keep mosquito larvae in check.

In short

No, a well-designed natural pond does not become a mosquito problem. Moving, oxygenated water and the wildlife a balanced pond attracts, such as dragonflies, frogs and birds, keep larvae in check. Stagnant water breeds mosquitoes; a living, circulating pond does not.
