In other words: How many mosquitos would a Mosquito Deleto delete, if a Mosquito Deleto could delete mosquitos?
My beautiful new house came complete with a large yard and deck. However, the mosquitos around here just about preclude using them. We’re thinking about buying one of these propane operated mosquito reduction systems – the Mosquito Deleto is the one we’re looking at. Does anyone have one of these systems? And, if so, do they work?
The other one is the Mosquite Magnet. They came out with a lower-priced model this year, and I’ve been hoping that others would publish how they work.
On the other hand, now that they have mosquito control added to dogs’ flea and tick treatments, could I buy that kind of treatment, leave my dogs outside all the time, and reduce the mosquito population? I’ve heard that flea and tick control products have really cut down on the urban and suburban populations of those pests. Hell, I might even start catching the squirrels and treating them.
Here’s a link to an article about several mosquito traps by the editors at Consumer Reports:
High-tech machines fight mosquitoes
Living in the jungle (hot and humid Houston) I am tempted to purchase one of these things.
