Yes, bats and purple martins. Special apartment like bird houses are apparently their preference.

Bats love mosquitoes and other flying insects. If there is shallow/standing water due to poor drainage, that can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes, so you might want to look into whether or not you have a low-lieing patch of ground where water is building up, or if there is such a spot nearby which is contributing to your skeeter problem.

We are still looking around though. The think I noticed is that the yard, especially in the back, is swarming with mosquitoes and other bugs. There is a wooded area on the other side of the back fence and I think the source may lye back there. Will there be anything I will be able to do about the mosquitoes if I buy the house?
