Not my story but:

For the past 10 or so years, we’ve had rain barrels. Old whiskey barrels that collect our rain water to water my plants. When I researched rain barrels a decade ago, everything I read complained of mosquitoes. They’ve made special rain barrels of plastic that prevent mosquitoes from laying and created a variety of pesticides that you can use in your water. Lots of new ideas, inventions, and fuss about a simple rain water barrel. Around here, we don’t use plastics and chemicals. In the spring, we head to the pet store and buy some feeder gold fish. They cost us a couple of dollars and we bring them home and they live for the summer in our rain barrels. They eat every bit of insect larvae, algae, and crap that ends up in there and require zero care in those barrels. Nature provides everything they need (food, water changes, entertainment). They live fat happy lives (better than their fate as feeder fish for certain) and at the end of the season we bring them in and put them into tanks. If they make it, back out they go with the thaw. There are lots of ways to keep your homesteads as chemical free as possible. This is one of my favorites.
Edit:
I totally forgot to mention that the fish poo in the water is one of nature’s very best fertilizers. Yet another bonus for the home gardener.
