Default Propane-powered Mosquito Traps: What's the deal? Do they work?

FOAD, dickhead...


Go and **** yourself, ****wit child.

Certainly it's know what attracts skeeters to live critters; what's
not so clear is that the artificially-generated attempts are
effective.


Corse its perfectly possible to provide the CO2, heat and
odours etc that are the same as what live humans produce.


Not w/o the same generating mechanism, no...


Wrong, as always.

there's more than just CO2


It is however the primary thing that attracts mosquitos.

and the odors aren't all that simple to generate.


They aint that hard either.

...

That means that those other devices are perfectly viable mosquito
traps, stupid.


But it also means the CO2-baited traps ain't worth the extra expense


Nothing like your previous claim.

which I presumed anybody w/ the least amount of intelligence would
realize is all that was said....


Never ever could bullshit and lie its way out of a wet paper bag.

Field trials for commercially available and experimental mosquito
traps variously baited with light, carbon dioxide, octenol, or
combinations of these were evaluated ...The total number of
mosquitoes and number of each species captured during the test were
compared using 8 × 8 and 5 x 5 Latin square designs based on trap
location. ... Traps baited with octenol captured significantly fewer
Cx. pipiens than those not baited with octenol. Likewise, no Cx.
orientalis were captured in octenol-baited traps.


Pity we happened to be discussing PROPANE POWERED traps.

Host-seeking activity showed a similar bimodal pattern for all
species captured. ... Significantly greater numbers of mosquitoes
were captured with mosquito traps using counterflow technology when
compared to standard light and carbon dioxide-baited traps.


No reason why the propane powered traps cant have counterflow as
well, ****wit child.


IOW, just a fan to suck the critters in and trap 'em was more
effective than the expensive, fancy traps.


That is nothing even remotely resembling anything like what they actually concluded, ****wit child.


They ACTUALLY said that its the traps that have counterflow IN ADDITION
TO chemical and CO2 luring that work the best, which is hardly surprising.
