Mosquitoes are not just a nuisance. They carry a variety of diseases ranging from West Nile virus to malaria. For many years, the response to control was spray mosquito spray and a little more. However, there are ways to combat the pesky mosquitoes without having to poison yourself or your environment.
Create pleasant environment for mosquito predators, such as predators include birds, bats, dragonflies, including the mosquito fish and Guppy. Mosquitoes, as Most wildlife have no natural predators. By removing predators through the propagation of a natural environment that allows the population imbalance mosquitoes. If you are interested in eliminating mosquitoes, you need to recreate the balance of nature between predator and prey.
Welcome birds in your garden. Plant a few trees and shrubs and flowers that attract. The birds nest and feed in areas covered by heavy security to create those types of areas. Even before planting, make sure your soil rich in compost and add a few earthworms. This will attract birds that eat insects, even when you start your plants, as a nutrition-rich soil is rich soil creatures are a delight for birds that eat insects such as mosquitoes.
Bats are a predator of mosquitoes. In fact, an average bat can eat over 500 mosquitoes in one hour. Welcome bats in your garden by adding a house of bats. You can build one yourself or you can buy one. There are bat houses hundreds of bats at a time. Imagine mosquito control you can get one of those!
It is always better not to have standing water environments, and will attract a heavy population of mosquitoes. If you have an environment stagnant water such as a pond or pool, add a water feature flowing water.
If not, then add some reeds or reeds to create an attractive environment for natural predators such as dragonflies and fish. These predators are quite good in combating the mosquito problem, too, because they live in similar environments and conditions. Although there really is no real way to ensure the attraction of dragonflies, a pond with reeds and cattails added should do the trick.
Also, if you have a pond or anywhere with stagnant water, add a few fish. Gambusia are well adapted to almost any condition water and are therefore best to add to almost any still or stagnant water. They are also the best in combating the mosquito problem, with the ability to eat more 150 mosquito larvae an hour.
However, other fish such as Guppy and small fish also do the job. It is always better not to have standing water. However, where there is no way around it, the use of fish and dragonflies to balance the problem of mosquitoes.
