Thanks for the links - I looked at them a little while ago, and I think they'll be very useful for my community garden - and I hadn't been aware of the website until you pointed it out to me. Thanks again!

sorry, Em--but as I recently learned to great personal heartbreak, it turns out that that's mostly a myth. See here:

(but note that they DO eat lots of garden pests!)

Here's some good skeeter control ideas:

Good luck!

Our community garden (6/15 Green) in Park Slope, Brooklyn, has been plagued by
a phenomenal mosquito population over the past two years. We're trying to get
a head start this year on covering out water barrels and other measures to
avoid having as much of a problem this year. Have any other community gardens
had success stories related to combating mosquitoes?

One of the things we want to do is install a batbox or two. Has anyone had a
success story with attracting a bat population? Care to share it with us?

Thanks,
Emily Brown
