    This is good to know if I ever need it. Fortunately, we have many barn swallows that nest/breed on our property. They spend most of their days flying all over our property eating mosquitos and other small bugs such as black flies. I, rarely, see these bugs on our property.

    I wish I could have something like this but I’m positive it won’t work. Underneath the tiles, our balcony is basically a big water basin that slowly drains on one side. There’s so so so many mosquitos. Pls help 😵

        Depending on where you live and how dangerous the mosquitoes are, there is a tradeoff with also unnecessarily killing many other flying insects. On top of that, mosquitoes are an important food source to other animals and they are also pollinators. So I’d only go with this solution if the mosquitoes in your area spread diseases.

          Mosquitoes are absolutely vital for the ecosystem, it would take a long time for nature to adjust to a gap if they all disappeared, but when people are living in vicinity to mosquitoes it can be unpleasant, and a health hazard
