Plant plants to attract birds that eat mosquitoes- where I live, that’s hummingbirds. They eat their weight in insects daily, not just nectar. Sages are a good choice. Add a bat box to your property- bats also eat mosquitoes. Put some fish in your pond that eat mosquito larvae. Also add more aeration to your pond to discourage breeding, I like solar powered aerators.

I’ve had a ton of success with bringing back bugs. First off, no pesticides or herbicides. Second, diverse plants with at least 1/2 native, and a decent amount of flowers, plants in the sage family and sunflower family are good choices for a quick impact. Third, mulch, and have areas with dead sticks and wood, rock piles etc.
My property started out with only earwigs, roly-polies and invasive grass. They sprayed everything for spiders.
It’s been 6 years and I have multiple species of bumblebees, flower flies, butterflies, moths, wasps, etc.
I haven’t been pooping in a banana hole. Instead I’ve been in the battle against squirrels. I’m in a great biodiversity hotspot so I have both ground squirrels ( who’ve decided to adapt and climb my fruit trees) and tree squirrels.
I’ve been excited to eat my nectaplums, so I was cautious and bagged them when they were very small. The squirrels have decided that even though they can’t get into the bags, I deserve punishment so they still knock them out of the tree still green in the bags, and leave a few tooth marks in each.
I just bought some pie plates to try and add baffles and I fully expect some new horror they think of next.
