Do electronic mosquito traps work?

Answer by  liz73 (25)

Generally speaking yes. It is often more affordable and practical to use one of these than constantly replacing chemical ridding agents.

Yes they actually do work but they are not that effective. It is actually more expensive than it looks. They are not that effective either. The best thing to do is keep the lights off your home so that they will not enter. Also try to use some termite spray around areas.

Yes but like any bug if they arent near the traps the trap wont get them so make sure you have enough traps out for them. The other thing about mosquitos is pine trees cause them and standing water if you have either you need to get rid of them.

The best ones are the ones that have a human scent attractant. Those will work but they can be a bit pricey.

They work fantastic we have them all the way around our 2 acre horse fence because water tend to lay and draw moquitos in a few spots and since we put the traps up we have had no mosquitos even on us when we go out to get the horses they also control the mosquitos in the wooded pasture.

Yes electronic zappers work for mosquitos, They will fly towards the electric current filled lamp and once they hit the fence surrounding it they will be shocked/killed and you wont have to worry abuot them.

It works superbly. This bat is cheap too. You can see with bare eyes mosquitoes electrocuted and fell down rapidly. The important thing is that is that it will not affect our respiration and it may create any personal problems. But the synthetic mosquito coils and mats affect our health tremendously.

Mosquito traps often use an additional scent cartridge to make the scent plume more attractive. Octenol is popular additive used with mosquito traps. Octenol mimics the chemical released by grazing cattle. Lurex is another additive that simulates sweat chemicals. To effective,scent cartridges need to be changed every 21 days
