God I want one of those traps! I don’t care if it doesn’t eliminate the whole local population, just that it would make any nearby go to IT rather than ME.
I tried making a simple trap from instructions on the internet using a plastic bottle sugar water and yeast. Put it in our garden which is heaving with the buggers and NOT ONE took the bait.
Oh, and England does indeed have mosquitos, more in the south where it’s generally warmer I think. Up north they have midges.
I love mosquito nets, personally. I get freaking eaten alive and get huge welts from the damned buggers. I actually believe the fan thing works because it dissipates the CO2, nit that it deters them - they just cant sniff you out.
I pretty much always have skeeter netting over my bed. We have a roomie that wanders in and out of the house at whim, and the back door opens to a small yard area that chickens like to come mooch popcorn in, and of course crap, and flies congregate there and nip in when the door gets opened. I hate trying to do anything with flies doing touch and goes on bare skin, and I suck at using the electrified tennis rackets to whack the flies, so I tend to hang out on the bed on my laptop inside the netting to keep them off me until mrAru comes home and whacks any recalcitrant fly that is pestering me.The skeeters just sort of wander in from the woods, and nothing seems to keep them out =(
Well, and I like the look of mosquito netting … it is sort of on the exotic side, and it sort of softens the look of the room. I have to admit I am thinking of rummaging in my storage at mom’s house and bringing back the shield and bow and arrow, and blowgun and darts that some random missionaries gave my grandparents that ended up belonging to me and decorating the bedroom with them. Maybe I can practice blowgun and use it to kill flies and skeeters with … 
You need dry ice to act as the CO2 source. You can also get these that hook up to a tank.
The idea is that the yeast will ferment the sugar and produce CO2. Probably true, but dry ice is easier. Also, the trap needs to do more than attract them - it needs a fan to suck them in. The CDC/EVS trap above does this.
Anyone have any thoughts on garlic products like this one?
I know a few people who’ve tried those propane jobs, with some success, but not total success. I want to get a bat house now, once the wind drops I’ve got a serious problem, but talking of bats: there is little more satisfying than using one of these on the buggers.
A word of caution though, my friend left her teenage son and his mate alone for a few hours which they spend batting each other merrily, resulting in grid marked kids. 
Is that more field/research oriented or is it appropriate/suitable for home and yard use? Is it a suped-up, more rugged, comparable, or similar to devices like the Mosquito Magnet(not to be confused with magnetic wrist bands) or the Mosquito Deleto?
(In searching I found this site (Consumersearch.com). It seems to be an excellent aggregater of not only reviews, but also serious articles. I haven’t looked too deeply at the overall site yet, so can’t vouch for it’s veracity–can anyone?)
Actually, the fans work because their tiny little wings can’t handle a breeze over 2mph I think it is.
