      Use beets instead, they contain geosmin which is used to trap mosquitos for research, its at least a hundred times more effective than carbon dioxide or octenol for luring mosquitos, put some beet peels in your bug zapper as well and watch them swarm to it, between the black bucket and the bug zapper, its easy to eliminate a whole cycle in a days time.

Use a strainer to see how many you got. The soap also is a nuro- poison so it dissolves their soft tissue as well as clogs their breathing ports.

    I am soooo going to try these traps out- thank you! And btw, if you get bitten, we have found that a dense paste of baking soda (w/ water) tends to soothe the itch for good- I usually put a tiny blob of paste right over the center of the bite, then place a band-aid over it to keep the paste on, usually for at least a few hours. It seems the most popular itch/bite products have the active ingredient of sodium bicarbonate, so this is how we came to try this remedy out :).

      Far better to "bleed-out" all of the anti-coagulant, parasites, and other disease vectors by nicking the bite with an Exacto knife blade. Squeeze until it bleeds clean. No more itching or diseases.

    My bird bath gets fresh water daily, just in case larvae were left overnight. A few years ago I added a solar fountain thinking they would not lay their eggs in moving water, but they come out when the sun goes down. So, changing the water daily is a must.
    Also, I walk around my property and make sure anything containing even an inch of water gets dumped or covered. I will try this solution because with all the rain we've been getting, occasionally things get missed and they are out of control right now. Thanks!

      I got one with a black sock and a piece of window screen. Supposedly the mosquito will land on the side of the wet sock, lay eggs, the larvae will go into the water and once they hatch they are stuck under the window screen that sits slightly above the water line. SO FAR nothing but its only 3 days old. Another option is to leave some standing water with some mosquito dunk in it as a gravid trap. Im about to research what mosquito larvae like to eat to see if I cant bait the gravid 1's in.

      @sassytherabbit Před 25 dny

      @@Isalsero1 I make a paste out of coconut oil and baking soda. Maybe 1/2 cup coconut oil and a few teaspoons of baking soda. Then I add a few teaspoons aloe that I blend at home (I think store bought is ok). Then about six drops each of tea tree and lavender essential oil, and a few drops of vitamin e. I buy a bottle of liquid vitamin e, or you can use vitamin capsules and squeeze the fluid in. :) It will be a little runny, so you take a little of this and put it on the bite and let it dry there before wiping it off with a damp cloth. If you have a lot of bites, an Epsom salt bath provides relief as well.

    I have a tip for gnats that swarm your face.
    Put on a hat and put something tall in it. The annoying pests actually go to the top of the target (you are the target), and thus will stay clear of your face.
    I know it sounds stupid, but I tested it in my pasture. It worked. I was stunned.
    For black flies (biting fly that is bigger than a gnat, and smaller than a housefly) spread a product called “Save the Baby” wherever your clothing ends…collars, wrist, sleeves…as well as around your hairline. They like those protected margins. The product is similar to Vicks vapor rub, but works better. I don’t know why. I tested this in upstate NY and Virginia. It works.

    I had rain barrels in the garden near the house. When they are full of larvae easily seen swimming near the surface, I'd squirt some liquid soap into the barrel making it impossible for the larvae to breathe and they die. Mosquitos will use open water in broad daylight to lay eggs which hatch in a day or two.

    I live in Florida and am a native. Mosquitoes don't bite me and never have in my 60 years. But the buzzing can drive you nuts if you're out and about. One good way to stop that is to grow lavender, ( kills fleas too), lemon grass, lemon garlic, peppermint, sweet mint and spearmint. Either grow it in pots,(as it can become invasive), or place in planters around the patio area and it will stop the buzzing because the flying pests don't like the fragrant plants. Citronella doesn't work at all.

Desert summers are mostly to hot to open up, however toward the beginning and end there are days & evenings we can open up. I dare not due that now as they have gotten so bad. Being we are warm most year round I really need something to help. I am going to give this a try as I really want to open up. For my house plants I use Neem powder in the water, I bottom water and let the plant take up what it needs, so there is standing water for a short time. At least if they lay then the offspring will not be able to produce. Thank you for putting up this video. Have a great day.

    To keep mosquitos off of you use lavender lotion & eucalyptus oil. Put abt a quarter size of lotion in your hand, then add abt 5 drops of eucalyptus oil to it. Rub your hands together & then rub it on all your exposed skin, even your neck & face. Works like a charm 😊

      I'm on the rainforest side of Hawaii island. Very wet here, mosquitoes thrive year round. I read about mosquitoes being attracted to black / dark colors and started working in white long sleeve shirts and it did make a noticable difference. Plus a white shirt is cooler than black in the sun, which absorbs more heat.
      Bad breath and body odor also help mosquitoes find you faster, so I always brush my teeth and wash up before heading outside.
