Guinea hens eat ticks and fleas. Guinea hens are also known as "watch birds" they will let out a loud clucking noise if they see anyone or any animal that is not a regular resident of the neighborhood. As far as mosquitos nothing can hold up to bats. The number of mosquitos that bats can devour in one night is in the thousands. Bat houses are readily available at any wild bird center and easy to mount to any pole or structure. You can't go wrong when you let mother nature take its course.

Anyone who answered Guinea Hens was correct. They can eat thousands in a minute. It is their goal in life and considerably reduce mosquitoes on your property. They may eat loose ticks from foliage, but I seriously doubt they can get close enough to animals (except maybe cows and horses) and eat ticks from them.
For anyone that answered bats, this is true, but they are not "farm birds", nor are blue jays, robins, etc.... good luck!

Barn Swallows are the best for mosquitos - their nests may be messy, but it's worth it to keep them around. You can encourage them to stop by putting out a barn swallow house in early spring before they migrate.
Chickens will eat flies, ticks, earthworms, and even mice if they can catch them. If you have young chicks, they may actually prefer to eat bugs instead of chicken feed.

i found the e book to be very informative and hassle-free to examine. i've got lost 17 pounds in 12 days, i'm only in contact that i'm dropping too lots weight, too immediately. i will admit i haven't accompanied the instruction manual precisely. i'm no longer sticking completely to the indexed meals and meal plans (yet quite often) and doing little or no exercising, however the load keeps flying off. It of course works and if i'd accompanied it precisely i think of it might scare the residing daylights out of me because of volume that i'd lose. So thank you returned for the recommendations. i've got under no circumstances offered something like this in the previous because of fact they are in many cases finished of trash, yet 3WD has been a delightful ask your self. start on the instant!

Almost all birds including bluebirds eat insects. Bats are excellent insect eaters, too. You might consider putting up a bat shelter.
