The best way to get rid of mosquitos is to provide habitats for birds and bats.

@oz@mastodonsweden.se I think birds and bats will eat mosquitoes on occasion but are such a small part of their diet that they would not provide any control. Mosquitoes and other insects their size are just not worth the effort. The exception is when there is nothing else available, such as in the experiment when bats are trapped in a room with nothing to eat except mosquitoes ... then they eat quite a lot. https://biologyinsights.com/do-birds-eat-mosquitoes-what-the-science-says/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
