Mosquito control (box fan)

Simple and easy way to decrease the mosquito population on your property with a box fan or shop fan.

😂👍 Good job, bro. I tried the same thing but i used a small carbon dioxide bait near my fan. I killed a ton of them the next morning.

[@QuentinQuark]

What did you use for CO2 bait?

[@lizz6475]

thank you for ridding us of mosquitoes

[@carlosv.7970]

that fan over night is a good idea I'm guessing some sort of light near the fan will help as well

Something that produces carbon dioxide. I think active yeast sugar and water will do it.

[@paullampru3591]

How about a container with dry ice close to wind stream….?

[@bonitabromeliads]

this is called a drum fan not a box fan.

What about adding bait, Something that produces carbon dioxide. I think active yeast sugar and water will do it.

[@texasvictorygarden7024]

That makes sense. I guess you could put the CO2 source near the fan intake.

[@THEGABNER]

Do you think mosquitoes survive going through the fan? The mosquito net seems Overkill.

[@texasvictorygarden7024]

I am not sure of how many survive going through the fan. Some do survive, as they are still moving on the mosquito net when I take it off the fan.

I like the concept. Just curious if running that shop fan on full blast all night has an impact on your electric bill?

[@texasvictorygarden7024]

I am sure it uses a lot of electricity. I couldn't say how much though.

[@christopherclayton1310]

@@texasvictorygarden7024 Still a pretty cool trap. 👍🏽

Or you can buy a 5 dollar zevo that will last half the summer
