How Mosquitoes Contribute To The Ecosystem In Chandler

Nothing ruins an outdoor event quite like mosquitoes. While it may seem like a great idea to get rid of mosquitoes entirely, that’s unfortunately not a good idea. Believe it or not, mosquitoes play a larger role in our ecosystem’s balance, and wiping out their populations would have effects on other species.

What Do Mosquitoes Do?

Mosquitoes are a nutritious food source for many types of fish and birds. If we were to get rid of mosquitoes everywhere, we would see a decrease in the populations of other important species. In addition, while bumblebees are most people’s favorite type of pollinating insect, mosquitoes are important to this process as well.

So while it may not be a good idea to cause a mass mosquito extinction, it is still important to repel them from your yard, especially here in Chandler.
