Fun Fact, Mosquitos are not attracted to UV light. In fact any light can disorient mosquitoes, but that's it. Light does not attract them. Carbon Dioxide, heat, body sweat, and odor is the best for attracting Mosquitos.

Hmm, incandescent bulbs are no longer available near where I live.

I would have at least wired the fan into the base of the light, that way it is a single cord unit. You could expand on that wire in a switch under the lid also.

Nice video, but there's no need to inject evolution Theories in

How well does it work tho? Does the fan noise disturb it's effectiveness?

Cool.

🙏✨

I'm liking this project so far, but as an electrician I would like to point out that you did not polarize the electric cord. It is possible that you crossed hot and neutral. Either use a meter or feel the edge of the cord--one side will have "ridges" on it to mark that side. Keep it straight, keep it clean.

A bug zapper might cost a little more, but it'll consume much less electricity and probably last much longer so it'll pay for itself, and it's quieter.

This pales in comparison to a bug zapper for costs!

Thank you for being so concise regards to explaining things without being a blabbermouth

Now you freeze your haul/catch and then feed em' to the chooks.

incandescent bulbs don't emit a significant amount of uv light. Those blacklight bulbs are a scam.

Great job! You could have fooled me. I would hire you to make a video for me. Thank you.

So very clear. TY.

Add a little little container of vinegar and egg shells, secure somewhere around the light. The mixture will make CO2 and attract mosquitoes.

I live in a condo with a 10x20 patio. I'm thinking of making a one or two gallon version. Also I'm curious how effective is this for you?

Great project idea. Obnoxious music.

Nice work Brother you’re making your Daughter proud of you. God Bless you and your Family. ❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸

Thanks for the info! I wonder if a "low pro" version made out of a single barrel would work ok ? (Cut in half to produce the 2 pieces; top = outside, bottom = inside + "grate")

Keep up the good work. Beautiful Children learning... it is a good thing.

Mosquitoes are not attracted to UV light.

And you have 2 larger planters to grow some lemongrass which also repells mosquitoes too.

If your rooster crows to much for your liking you can buy a rooster collar that stops the loud crowing down to a cluck and it doesn't hurt the animal at all.

The sharpie with arrows and measurements is so helpful visually. I would have loved you as a shop teacher in high school!!!

Excellent video sir! Not only do you create and build a useful item, you go on to show how you make the video as well as your 'background commentators" Congrats on your channel, and may you grow as well as the channel by Shawn Woods, Mousetrap Monday!

MANY YEARS AGO MY FATHER WAS A CLAM DIGGER IN THE BARNEGAT BAY IN NEW JERSEY HE BROUGHT US HOME AN ORPHANED DUCKLING, HIS NAME WAS "LEONARD" 💭 QUACK ! 🦆

On the extension cord , the insulation on the wire that has the " ridgies" on it is the "Identified wire" it's the grounded conductor and goes to the silver screw on the keyless light fixture ( witch goes to the screw shell on the Edison base "A" lamp 60watt incandescent black light ) 😎 🤙 PS; My earliest memory is being electrocuted ... 😐 🙋

Get Header Paint! Get VHT "Very High Temp" VHT Paint! It COMES IN VARIOUS COLOURS AND IT IS CERAMIC-BASED PLAINT! I BUILT STOVES AND APPLIED THIS! THIS PAINT THAT DOES NOT BURN OR VANISH!

who in their right mind would want to attract mosquito's to a bucket close to their home??

Need to see it actually in action

Use the fan chord for both the fan and light and save the extension chord.

I wish this video showed the results of the trap.

Now if you had a CO2 source.

So the most important thing if it works You failed to include this! You sk

Does the little fin propeller thing not get crushed when you’re tossing heavier pieces of wood in? Would an extra grate above it maybe be a good idea?

I love solutions that are simple and WORKS!! Props to you! ❤

Is it possible to adapt this to à rocket stove ?

Fantastic! Thanks!!!

Cool design❤, what if you drill a hole in the Smoking one and you install a Pipe made of metal in the middle which can suck fresh air from below like a inverse chimney. Would that not be even easier to achieve the post combustion?

Well done. Thank you very much.

Why are there so many dislikes?

I get the idea but it's such a waste of time, (if you burn a lot, they oxidize and rust away quickly. On our busy farm, we just use 2 separate burn barrels, LoL. There's always so much to do, why waste time 🤠

My issue with steel burn barrels is that they rust out in about 5 years. After going through several of them over the years, I finally bought a DR burn cage, which is made of perforated stainless steel, and it lets air in from everywhere while containing the fire. It takes about 30 seconds for the fire to turn into a smokeless inferno, and it leaves powdery fine white ash.

This looks really cool! One of the selling points of the $80😳 small DynaTrap is that it is coated with some kinda stuff that emits carbon dioxide trails that mosquitoes follow back to the trap because the think it's human breath. I didn't notice you coating your trap with any mysterious imitation human breath potions, so how well does your trap actually work with only the light (black light??) to lure the bugs?

Use a HDPE Plastic barrel as a form to create a standing concrete *Smokeless Super Mario Bros Warp Pipe* ! Of course you'll need 2 of them, but most of it can be done like the barrel, just with concrete and rebar! I dunno, just a thought!

Can you make Bio-Char with it?

Yeah, it's good idea to get the polarity right when wiring the lamp. I'd also suggest hooking up the fan in parallel with the light so that you have only one plug to plug in. And also cutting out one continuous piece of screen to completely cover the side of the bucket.
