I found a less destructive way to keep the mosquito population down: Suet feeders in the winter and spring.

Bonus: Window-entertainment for the cat.

It may be adequately sounding strategy in your area, but totally inadequate in the wetlands of the coastal Gulf, especially after the recent deluge....

Way more bug-eating birds flitting around the place this season. Many of them very colorful -- Cardinals, jays, wrens, sparrows, thrushes, woodpeckers, chickadees, warblers and quite a few that I haven't been able to identify.

Very few here too.

We're about 5 inches deficit on rain, still have only cut the lawn once.

Birds and bats just don't eat that mnay mosquitoes, even the purple martin which is often touted as being a
devestator of mosquitoes has been found their diet comprises a max of 3% of them.
