Tired of the Mosquito's already. Ordered a Bug Zapper out of desperation. Planning on putting it on a timer and running it all night, every night, to bring down the population.

Do they work? Or should I have just bought more 'Off'?

Scratching right now.. geesh. :blaster:
 
They are ok. Watch that electric bill though. "off" sux! Nothing really helps against those pests. If they wants yo blood, they gone git it.
 
Just so you know, they can launch bug guts up to like 15 feet away.

Plan is to put it on a hook out in the middle of the backyard and let it eat! Most recommend to place it 30 feet away from the area you want clear. BTW: its rated to clear 1.5 acre, 80 watts.
 
Neighbor has the skeeter vac.. Uses propane and somehow attracts them and they stick to something inside it. Wierd.
 
had a "mosquito deleto" a few years ago. it cleared out the mosquitos at the lake house like they never existed. awesome product....
 
Its a fact that bug zappers attract more mosquitos to you. If you want to use them, buy them for your neighbors as gifts.

'Fact' that's interesting. I'm going to have more? I'll take more if it means Dead + Live = Less Alive

I'm putting it 30-50 feet from the house to pull them away from the pool/house and kill them.

Their 'Store' only sells books and theories. I'm tired of reading about it and am doing something about it. Zapper baby.
I like how they are taking the reverse psychology approach and criticize zappers so heavily, that just means it works and are trying to talk it down to promote their own agenda. Bingo, thanks.

Zapper + Pheromone = Mosquito reduction
 
Fogger stuff works great. Just keep your kids and pets away from it.

What's wrong with bug zappers?
They kill beneficial insects, attract mosquitoes but don't kill them, help mosquitoes find standing water to lay their eggs, and spray insect fragments into the air. The Ultra Violet (UV) light from zappers attracts all night-flying insects. Each night zappers kill about 3,000 beneficial insects such as moths and butterflies, which pollinate flowers, but only a handful of mosquitoes. A Notre Dame University study in South Bend Indiana showed that people with a zapper in their backyard got bit 10% more than people without one because zappers attracted mosquitoes but did not kill them. UV light also helps mosquitoes find water where they lay their eggs. When UV light is reflected off the surface of water it is polarized. Like polarized sunglasses that reduce glare and help you see objects more clearly, the mosquitoes follow the polarized light to the water to lay their eggs. Because they attract large bugs, they are purposefully designed to explode them so they don't accumulate and become a fire hazard. Exploding bug-fragments drift on the air. People and food nearby may be contaminated by insect-fragments from the zapper.
