[TheForge] Mosquito control in quench bucket?

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

  Had the problem for years until i found an old battered copper 
tub cheap at the swap meet. Found that it never has mosquitos.
So i dropped a handful of  thin, scrap sheet copper in the bottom 
of the outside quench tank and after a few weeks, no more problem.
Recalling my days in the salt water aquarium business, a copper 
penny ( they were copper then) would kill off everything in the 
tank. Guess somebody wanted to make a wish. The office wouldn't 
call till it was all very dead and stinking of course.
Tell me why god made mosquitos again please?
