bug zapper. turn it on at night, with other lights off.

I've heard that mozzies are attracted to CO2 being breathed out, and
not to the light in a bug zapper. Try a bugzapper with a CO2 source.

not needed. The zapper with the black light works just fine.

Here I looked it up for you:

http://home.howstuffworks.com/bug-zapper.htm

"By design, bug zappers do not discriminate between types of insects,
but because of their luring strategy, they tend kill those insects
that are most attracted to ultraviolet light. Mosquitoes,
unfortunately, are not attracted to ultraviolet light."

http://www.livingwithbugs.com/mos_blt.html

"blacklight traps do a poor job of attracting biting flies like adult
female mosquitoes and biting gnats, and, in fact, attracted and killed
many more beneficial insect species. The traps were therefore
considered to be environmentally harmful because of damage to the
natural fauna.

The bottom line - don't use blacklight "bug zapper"-type traps for
mosquitoes. If you must use a trap try one of the propane-fueled
carbon dioxide traps since they are far more selective and won't
attract as many beneficial species"

All I can tell you is at our hunting place when we had mosquitoes indoors we
turned out the lights, turned on the bug zapper, and in a few minutes they
were all zapped. You do what you want.

"We found that black light traps captured significantly more mosquitoes at 2
and 2.5 m above the ground (P 0.05). We also evaluated the effectiveness
of trap spacing within the livestock enclosure. In general, traps spaced
between 4 and 7 m apart captured mosquitoes more efficiently than those
spaced closer together (P 0.05). Based on these findings, we concluded
that each black light trap in the livestock enclosures killed 7,586 female
mosquitoes per trap per night during the peak mosquito season (July-August).
In May-August 2003, additional concurrent field trials were conducted in
Ganghwa county. We got 74.9% reduction (P 0.05) of An. sinensis in human
dwellings and 61.5% reduction (P 0.05) in the livestock enclosures. The
black light trap operation in the livestock enclosures proved to be an
effective control method and should be incorporated into existing control
strategies in developed countries."

OK then, I'll always believe an actual test over what some "expert"
says.
But I can't test it myself. There's been no mosquitoes around here for
years.
Global Warming must have killed them all.

Wow, you could knock me over with a feather! I've never seen such a reply
on the web! Good for you man. I'm not kidding. A thumbs up for you!

All I've seen is the digging in of heels and the name calling and restating
what was said so as to call the other a liar and bolster one's own position.

I am really awestruck! Speechless!

You have made my day. Unless you are pulling my leg . . .

Cheers!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Wallace"
saying something like:

Thin end of the wedge, if you ask me. I mean, before you know it, we'll
have tests and facts and undisputable results and the experts will be
out of a job. Could turn things on their head, that could, and be the
end of civilisation as we know it, with consultants on the dole queue
left, right and centre.
Think, man, think - the economic revival might very well depend on
clueless, useless, otherwise unemployable armies of consultants and
experts, dispensing worthless advice and baseless information. To have
these finger-in-the-air advisors rendered impotent might be very
dangerous indeed.

I don't care who is right and who is wrong. I just want the correct
answer.
I had seen a number of websites that say mosquitoes are not attracted
to UV, and nothing to say the opposite. When I next see mosquitoes
I'll drag out my zapper and see if it works.

Mostly, mosquitoes are attracted to 3rd-World countries,
and people who don't have any of the mosquito-nets yet.
Fly-paper strips, you pull out of the cylinder like a coil,
are really the best because you can taunt the little boogers
until they croak... "Cain't touch this... Cain't touch this.."

It's very gratifying and returns your sense of control.

HTH.


[I don't think PETA or the SPCA covers mosquitoes; but

about me. They can be so insensitive and ruthless! TIA.]
