To diminish mosquito populations, attract birds that eat insects on the wing (they catch flying insects in the air). The main ones are swallows such as the tree swallow, violet-green swallow, and barn swallow. The eastern kingbird also catches flying insects. Many other insect-eating birds can help to control wasps and, possibly, mosquitoes including chickadees, house wrens, gray catbirds, bluebirds, vireos, warblers, orioles, tanagers, and even some of the sparrows such as the chipping sparrow. Even some seed-eating birds can help control mosquitoes, since this is what they feed their young in the spring.
