Mosquito control

I know this isn't the right forum for this but I'm not sure where it fits and, well, this one is the most viewed. I'm sure JohnR will relocate it if needed.

Anyway....

With all the rain we've had I, and many others, have standing water on their property. This water is already producing huge numbers of mosquito larvae and adult biting ones too. Does anyone know of a safe, biodegradable product I can treat the water with until it drains? I was thinking about just pouring a bunch of vegetable oil in the water figuring that can't hurt anything. Will that suffocate the larvae? Is there something better? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
