Anybody have experience with these? I thinking of making one of those
gourd houses for purple martins, but I'm worried about, um, potty
training.

It's a myth the purple martins eat tons of mosquitoes. They eat lots of
insects and some mosquitoes too, no doubt, but mosquitoes aren't their main
diet.



Exactly right! The Purple Martins eat tons of dragonflies. It's the
dragonflies that eat tons of mosquitoes...
