A note on purple martins: Once they move in, you won't have any mosquitoes, but everything you own will be covered in bird chit.
First off, thanks for the responses all, I appreciate it.
The mosquito thing? Actually there has never been a mosquito found in a martin’s stomachs or any evidence they feed on them. Purple martins are dragonfly specialists, they prefer dragonflies, dragonflies however do eat mosquitoes.
The Indians started out hanging empty gourds in their cornfields for martins to nest in. Martins chase away crows from around their nests, Indians didn’t need scarecrows they had purple martins.
