In the summer months, an eco-sustainable method to fight mosquitoes is to set up a shelter for bats . The winged mammals, in fact, with the arrival of twilight can feed on these annoying insects.
To attract them to your garden, you need a " bat box ", which is a rectangular wooden box, specially assembled to accommodate bats. These houses can be purchased in supermarkets and DIY stores. They hang on the outside wall of the house or directly on a tree, at least four meters from the ground, preferably between March and May, when the bats come out of hibernation.
In the same way, as an alternative form of protection, it could be useful to put some greedy larvae of mosquitoes in the ornamental basins or fountains.
