Where in the world is mosquito eye soup a delicacy? It doesn't really
sound that tasty, but then I wouldn't think anything really would that
was dug out of ....well....you know.

So, if bats don't eat that many skeeters. What IS the best mosquito
anhililator? Let's see we've got purple martins, swifts, hummingirds,
dragonflies, bats...how does each one rate?

I read about the mosquito eye soup in a National Geographic. It is
served in Japan.

A pond will encourage the female to lay her eggs there. Then a hungry
goldfish or rosy red minnow eats the larva. You can use a fountain
that holds a few gallons of water instead of a pond.

Basically, draining swamps, gutters that hold water, old tires, any
standing water or even muddy areas will greatly reduce mosquito
populations. As a fisherman, "Deep Woods Off" is the best product to
avoid being bitten by mosquitoes and ticks.
