Glomalin and Conservation in Humboldt County The 1996 discovery of the soil glue glomalin is changing our understanding of the impact of elevated carbon dioxide, while giving important clues to forest health, watersheds, revegetation, wildfire and carbon sequestration. Here I share what I have found so others may read and draw their own conclusions, and relate it to my own experience, Humboldt County issues and stories from the news.

Guides for bat and birdhouses to encourage predation on mosquitos, as
well as other methods to promote beneficial insect eating wildlife and
reduce mosquito habitat and population, are available from the following

MOSQUITOS AND THEIR NATURAL CONTROL

Mosquito Predators http://www.mosquito-netting.com/predators.html
Bats: one bat can eat between 600 to 1000 insects per hour.
Birds: Several specific species eat mosquitoes and adapt their diet
when there is a higher concentration of mosquitoes.
Dragonfly consumes large numbers of mosquitoes.
Mosquitofish can eat up to 50 mosquito larvae in half an hour and a
maximum of 168 in an eight hour period.
Drought dramatically increases mosquito population in the following
year.

Mosquito predatorsinclude dragonfl ies, damselflies, water striders,
backswimmers, predaceous diving beetles, and topminnows.
Mosquitoes can be further reduced by installating birdhouses that
attract insect-eating birds such as red-winged blackbirds, cliff swallows,
and marsh wrens. Bat boxes are also useful tool for mosquito control. A
single small brown bat can consume 1,200 mosquito-sized insects in just
one hour.
Mosquito Control http://www.co.midland.mi.us/mosquito/homeowner.htm
- Get rid of old tires, tin cans, buckets, drums, bottles, or any
water-holding containers.
- Fill in or drain any low places (puddles, ruts, etc.) in yard.
- Keep drains, ditches and culverts clean of weeds and trash so water
will drain properly.
- Keep eave troughs clean of leaves and other debris.
- Cover trash containers to keep out rainwater, and screen rain
barrels.
- Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets.
- Empty plastic wading pool at least once a week and store it indoors
when not in use.
- Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that hold water with sand or
concrete.
- Change the water in birdbaths and plant drip trays at least once each
week.
- Store boats/canoes covered or upside down or remove rainwater weekly.
- Keep grass cut short and shrubbery well trimmed around the house so
adult mosquitoes will not hide there.
Note, this page minimizes the value of predators on mosquito control.

Encourage Natural Mosquito Predators
· Install bird houses on your property to encourage natural predators
of adult mosquitoes;
· Grow emergent plants like cattails and bulrushes in your pond, which
attract dragonflies and other predatory insects;
· Encourage the presence of other natural predators in your yard, such
as frogs, salamanders and newts;
· Avoid clearing dense shrubs and brush on your property, which provide
habitat for many birds and insects that prey on mosquitoes.

Hi, I was looking for sites that have information on water pond supplies in bradenton sarasota
to add to my newsletter when I found your site.
I enjoy searching the Internet and finding information on my hobby of water gardening and sharing that information with others.
I hope that you will pay my site a visit as well.
Thanks,
