Another fact that Tulane did not mention is that purple martins very seldom eat mosquitos. They do however eat dragon flies, which ironically eat mosquitos. So, having purple martins actually helps increase the mosquitos population.
Also, on a personal note, its pretty cool to sit in your backyard with a horde of dragon flies and watch them disappear as purple martins make them "disappear" out of the sky.

It all works out, everything in Nature has a check. Dragonflies eat mosquitoes at every life stage, from larvae eating larvae in water to the adults catching them on-wing. So even the ones that wind up nothing more than wings on the ground under a Purple Martin pole have contributed to mosquito control.
