I eat and enjoy chicken. Chickens eat a lot of ticks (not insects actually but arachnids), I imagine they’ll happily eat insects too.
Insects as animal feed supplement might be a good use. Eating
them directly; I’d rather go vegan.
When I was a kid, our neighbor had a short handful of ducks. Dad used to ask her to bring them over to our garden for a morning whenever the slugs were particularly bad.
Garden was saved. Dad was happy. Ducks were well-fed (and presumably happy). The only losers were the slugs, which we weren't concerned about. A Win-win all around.....
Slugs make excellent fishing bait, as well. ;-)
I didn’t think anything ate ticks. The spasm of revulsion that my dog goes through when he smells one is amazing.

I’m looking toward the same thing when I get my farm up and running ,,, raising a few billion insects (meal worms) as food for chickens and the fish pond.
