What's your favorite device to get rid of mosquitos?

If you're trying to keep em at bay at your camp, you will fail

That's exactly what this was for haha

A fan, if stationary.

If it is in Ascension parish, just call the DPW and they will come and spray your yard and exterior house free , just have to request

When the mosquitos get bad around my house I set out my bug zapper with the octenol attractant. I leave that sucker on all night (unless it's gonna rain). Does a pretty good job at keeping the population down. There's usually a pile under the zapper in the morning.

Well, here's the thing:

The Mosquito Magnet deal works as advertised. It kills the mosquitoes in a given area and since mosquitoes don't travel very far from where they are born, boom, no more mosquitoes.

Now, the bad:

Even with proper care, expect to only get 2-3 seasons out of them. Also, you are going through a tank of propane every 21 days, so buy two so you can rotate.

All that said, they are about the same cost as having professional spraying done and they are more effective than that.

So it's basically gonna cost you about $200 per year to eradicate mosquitoes on about 3/4 to 1 acre.

But being able to actually use your backyard is pretty cool.

You can kill a lot with fogs and contact sprays, but being that you are in the middle of swamp for miles in every direction, more will come. Being in front of a fan is the best bet.

DDT
