Contrary to popular belief, the thought that Purple Martins reduce mosquito population was brought up to promote the products that went along with the birds such as housing, and gourds.

But don't get me wrong, Martins have many advantages. Just hearing that beautiful song they produce makes it worthwhile to attract Martins to your backyard.
