minus-squareDeconceptualist@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 年前Some insects are attracted to light sources, but not mosquitos. They seek out the things our bayou friend already mentioned.
minus-squareElise@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前Isn’t there something that emits co2 and then zaps them? I guess I should just get a net and a hand held zapper?
minus-squareMoonMelon@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 年前Yes, there are propane powered mosquito traps that emit heat and CO2. Supposedly they are effective but costly.
minus-squareITGuyLevi@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前They also have electric ones. They use a UV bulb and some titanium compound that releases CO2 when hit by UV, pretty neat and work decently once you interrupt the breeding cycle. Dynatrap is the popular brand I think.
minus-squaremassive_bereavement@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?

Maybe you’re onto something ;)
