Default Mosquitos!!! Consumer Reports testing Magnet and Trap models...

I swear that since I put in my pond and fish (quite a few years now) that
mosquitos are hardly a problem. Even with this incredibly wet spring (Long
Island) I haven't seen any swarms as there should be. When I do go out in
the yard the place I get hit is far away from the pond. Oh, and using
ammonia on the bites cuts down on the itching a lot. You can buy an
expensive little tube of it that is made specifically for bites but the
cheap stuff out of the bottle works just the same. DK

I have been impressed and confused by the thread for the Liberty
Mosquito trap. I used mine the entire last summer, went through three
tanks of propane, and did not capture more that a dozen mosquitos!


You didn't say, but are you still having problems with mosquitos biting?

I
mean if there's not at lot of mosquitos around (maybe something/body else
got them), you're not going to catch many.
