We have a "mosquito magnet"--got it last year and it was not very effective
due to the Asian Tiger. Just discovered a new attractant on their website
that was developed for the Asian tiger (little buggers are nasty) and we are
going to try it. http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/ it's called Lurex. I'll
try anything...mosquito bites to me are like fire ants to other people, fire
ants bits to me are, well, a couple of days in bed on benadryl....

I have cousins up north in the woodland and prairie states that love their
mosquito magnets...I hope this attractant works. If not, I'll sell it to a
cousin or friend up north.

FYI, I read about mosquito dunks and put them about the patio in pots and
such...they helped A LOT!

cheers!

THANKS, that's very valuable info. That may explain some of
the confusion.

Somehow, these just do not look like good ol' Texas skeeters to me ...

Thanks,

The problem with these is that the mosquitos most commonly found in
Austin, the Asian Tiger, are not attracted to carbon dioxide. I have
several friends with these devices and they have told me that they get
about as many mosquitos in them that they'd expect from randomly
flying into the device. One even called the manufacturer and they
said they knew about the Asian Tiger problem and were working on
something they'd be attracted to, but haven't developed anything yet.
