Mosquito Magnet--We have one
We got one last year. I am a mosquito magnet myself, as was my elderly
father, who lived with us at the time. It did not work as well as we had hoped last year but we also did not keep it operational all year, (many hospital visits and hospice care took over our as suggested, we let it run out several times....and I'm not convinced we placed it properly. We started out using the attractant but after reading further about the attractant and Asian Tiger Mosquitos. They say that it does not attract them, it repels them, and not to use the "octenol" if you have Tiger Mosquitos. I noticed that the mosquitos that chase and bite me have stripes, as the Tiger Mosquito is described, so we quit using the "octenol". Since Asian Tiger Mosquitos were imported into the US in some tires via the port at Houston, I'm guessing most of this area has them. We set ours up again a couple of weeks ago and have moved it a little to get it more in between us and our probable sources of mosquitos...I'll try to remember to check back as we progress to see how it goes. On the whole, after last years results I don't know that I'd recommend buying one. I may change that opinion later this year if it starts working better.... "Chris" wrote in message ... Has anyone tried this product? It's pricey but comes with rave reviews including from the military. With my poorly-installed underground drainage of my roof downspouts every summer we get deluged by mosquitoes. With a new dog that has to go outside a couple of times a day and West Nile set to take over, I'm considering shelling out the cash. However, I'd love to have a local person's opinion, good or bad, first. Thanks, Chris |
