Swallows consume thousands of flying insects that are considered parasites. One reason that barn swallows  as well as house martins choose to nest near humans is because close proximity to humans keeps predators away. Many people enjoy swallows nesting on or around their homes. However, there are also  people who, for reasons of cleanliness and concern about a possible transmission of germs or parasites, destroy the nests of swallows found in their properties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to be good house martin neighbors<\/strong>:<br \/>\nSource: <a
