Attract Natural Predators

Description

Encourage wildlife that naturally preys on mosquitoes to inhabit your yard.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Install Bat Houses: Bats are voracious consumers of mosquitoes and other insects.
2. Attract Dragonflies: Provide pond areas or water features (ensure water is moving or treated with BTI) as dragonflies lay eggs in water and adults eat mosquitoes.
3. Support Birds: Set up bird feeders and birdbaths (kept clean) to attract insect-eating birds like swallows and purple martins.
