Do they have natural predators? Mosquitoes are the bane of life for many of us. It is highly unlikely that there is a single person on the planet that actually likes the blood sucking pain in the back insects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/interestinganimalfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/The-Primary-Predators-Of-Mosquitoes.jpg\" alt=\"The Primary Predators Of Mosquitoes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you will be happy to hear that these pests are actually prey animals for other animals. It is these predators that keep&nbsp;the mosquito problem&nbsp;from getting out of control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news is,&nbsp;<strong>mosquitoes have many predators<\/strong>, more than you might think, and these predators collectively keep mosquito control (thank God!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, there are a few exceptions&nbsp;in which&nbsp;mosquito predators can actually have a minimal impact on reducing populations in large areas. However, it is better than nothing!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, today, we will tell you what creatures prey on these pesky bugs. You can find out which predators are near you, keeping the populations down!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Primary Mosquito Predators That&nbsp;Eat Mosquitoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the many creatures that prey on mosquitoes, there may be others, but these are the ones that are recognized as preying on mosquitos in many areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, notably birds, drugs, toads, spiders, salamanders, slider turtles and more can be known for keeping populations down. Some bats might even eat more than 500 mosquitos each hour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly though, if you go for a walk in the summer, you will know that there are more mosquitos out there than their predators know what to do with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Birds&nbsp;Eat Mosquitoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some mosquito eating birds out there, but how many mosquitos a bird may eat\u2026 we aren\u2019t sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some have said that a purple martin can eat thousands of mosquitos each day, however, this could be wrong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tree Swallows\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=289356344786457610&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"775\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the birds that can and do&nbsp;eat them&nbsp;are usually migratory birds such as&nbsp;<strong>songbirds<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>swallows<\/strong>&nbsp;and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The species that eat the most mosquitoes usually includes red-eyes vireos, sparrows, and purple martins, some woodpeckers, bluebirds, orioles, ducks, wrens, hawks, and warblers, among others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the above will feed on both aquatic and adult mosquitos. If you put out bird seed for these birds it can bring them to you and bring out their appetite for a mosquito or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it\u2019s an easy way to deal with too many mosquitos hanging around your yard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Provide Housing &amp; Protection for Bats\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=385339311879101552&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"550\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some bats that like mosquitoes for meals, but not all consume mosquitoes. However, bats that eat can eat quite a lot in a short time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, bats are much better at finding and making a meal out of other insects, and not just mosquitos. Their diet is not reliant on them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fish&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Guide to Pond Fish That Eat Mosquito Larvae (Top Fish Species)\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=1022106077908772739&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"543\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many fish that like to chow down on mosquito larvae or two. Goldfish, bass, bluegill, catfish, and guppies are some of the ones which have acquired a taste for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being said, the most notable predator for mosquitoes is the Gambusia Affinis, which is known best as the mosquito fish (we wonder why), it is likely the most useful predator when it comes to catching and eating larvae of mosquitoes, and in many places they are used as a way to control mosquito populations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frogs&nbsp;And Reptiles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/interestinganimalfacts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Amphibians-And-Reptiles.jpg\" alt=\"Amphibians And Reptiles\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both frogs and their tadpoles are natural predators of&nbsp;mosquitos, it&#8217;s part of their diet. Although they do not typically rely on these as a significant aspect of their diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is except for 3 particular species of tadpoles in North America. These will be infrequent but significant enough mosquito predators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These species include the giant tree frog, the spadefoot toad and the green tree frog, these will usually feed on mosquito larvae.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All being said, frogs, tadpoles and toads do often compete with the larvae of mosquitoes for food, so they do have an effect on the population of mosquitos overall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, turtles may also&nbsp;eat mosquitos, not all, but the red-eared slider turtle may have a taste for mosquitos as it is thought to be the most voracious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dragonflies&nbsp;Eat Mosquitoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\" \" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=39547302966789190&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"899\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adult dragonflies are somewhat like mosquito hawks, they are known for&nbsp;mosquito killers, however they do not eat a significant enough amount of them to do any real damage to wild populations of mosquitoes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aquatic stage of mosquitos is best for dragonflies to prey upon, and so most of their food will be made up of mosquito larvae.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Damselfly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beautiful Damselfly.\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=2251868551256311&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"775\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison with dragonflies, damselflies are smaller, with bodies measuring 1 1\/2 to 2 inches long.
