In one study published last month, researchers tracked insect-eating house martins at a park in Camargue, France, after the area was sprayed with a microbial mosquito-control agent1. They found that the birds produced on average two chicks per nest after spraying, compared with three for birds at control sites.<p>&gt; Most mosquito-eating birds would probably switch to other insects that, post-mosquitoes, might emerge in large numbers to take their place. Other insectivores might not miss them at all: bats feed mostly on moths, and less than 2% of their gut content is mosquitoes. &quot;If you&#x27;re expending energy,&quot; says medical entomologist Janet McAllister of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Fort Collins, Colorado, &quot;are you going to eat the 22-ounce filet-mignon moth or the 6-ounce hamburger mosquito?&quot;<p>&gt; With many options on the menu, it seems that <i>most insect-eaters would not go hungry in a mosquito-free world</i>. There is not enough evidence of ecosystem disruption here to give the eradicators pause for thought.
