With the United States containing so many world-Â­famous tourist destinations and being home to three giants of the aviation industry (US Airlines, American Airways, and Delta Air Lines), it's no surprise that the country's airports rank among the busiest in the world, weaving a complex network of routes all over the globe.
Birds, bats and other animals can be used as one of mosquito control methods, but alone they certainly wonât make a visible impact on the population of mosquitoes. Some species of birds like purple martin eat mosquitoes and these insects take few percent of their daily meal and bats, who are night hunters also feed from mosquitoes.
This relationship dates back to the Native Americans, who hung empty gourds for Purple Martin nests. Most people welcome Purple Martin neighbors, as these birds are agile hunters and eat large quantities of winged insects. (However, contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes do not form a large part of their diet.) Purple Martins exhibit a very high level of site fidelity.
