Pesticides have been responsible for the loss of 30 percent of North American bird populations in the last fifty years.
Beware of Traps
There are many kinds of traps available for hunting mosquitoes. The most common trap uses lactic acid to attract mosquitoes. The sticky coating is made up adhesive panels that are lowered inside the trap to be absorbed into the mosquitoes. The trap's panels will have less room for dead mosquitoes. Another type is the candle trap, which is treated using lactic acid to produce CO2 and light. These mosquito traps last for several days, depending upon the type.
There are many types of traps that don’t rely solely on light to lure mosquitoes. One type uses carbon dioxide to lure mosquitoes. Once they are in the trap, they are gently pulled into a mesh network by a fan. A combination of light and heat can be used to lure mosquitoes into the trap. You won't have to pay much for some types of mosquito traps.
Bat food
