What bird is best to eat bugs?

[leecey411]

I would like some natural pest control. What breed of bird is best at eating bugs. I would like to know who likes to eat flies.
Thanks.

Guineas eat ticks and insects. Weeder geese eat bugs, too.

If you're looking for the best fly eating birds it would probably be muscovy ducks.

I think Guineas by far are the best and they usually wanr you about snakes too...and about everything else too.

GUINEAS......are the best!

Guineas for sure. Just make sure your neighbors are deaf and you have good ear plugs!

I have been thinking of getting guineas for the out-of-control tick population. I know they make some noise, but are they really that bad?

Yep, they can be. I don't mind their noise, but my husband and oldest son hate it. They'll take care of your tick problem tho.
