Is There A Natural Way To Repel Mosquitoes In Atlanta?
How Mosquitoes Contribute To Atlanta’s Ecosystem
Not to understate the dangers of mosquitoes, but did you know that there are only a few out of the more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes that feed on humans? If that’s surprising to you, brace yourself for this. Mosquitoes are actually pollinators. Their primary food source is flower nectar, and so as they feed, they transfer pollen and allow plants to reproduce.
Not only do mosquitoes help keep our ecosystem alive and thriving through our plant life, but they serve as a food source for many other essential organisms. Birds, bats, fish, frogs, and turtles are just a few of the more welcome members of our planet that depend on mosquitoes as a food source.
Mosquitoes are annoying and dangerous, but getting rid of them as a species would do great harm to the balance of our ecosystems. Getting rid of the entire species isn’t possible nor recommended, but keeping dangerous species out of your city and away from your property is essential.
