I think unscented dish soap would be better than stinky Dawn soap. It's the C02 that attracts them. Adding a chemical smell might have a repellant effect.

for really stingy catchers out there, i use a dark pail/container which I fill with water which I use to water a few plants.

There is a product made of only garlic called Mosquito Barrier or Garlic Barrier. You mix with water in a sprayer or spray bottle and it smells like garlic bread for an hour but that fades and no mosquitoes! They are repelled by the allicin in the garlic. You have to reapply after every rain.

[@coolmonkey5269]

can we apply garlic to our skin also. bcz i dont like ddet

[@djbryson]

I've tried the garlic spray, it doesn't work very well. The black bucket yeast rig seems more effective. C02 rigs are the most effective, but very expensive, and seem to have mixed results.

[@grvylady]

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 😊

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.

Thanks so much for the info! Will use it! This also may help a bit also. Put a snug clear bucket in the black bucket so you can just pull it out to see them in the water. 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.

[@ronnie-being-ronnie]

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.

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!

[@corkiejean1995]

Even dead leaves on the ground and the center cores of flowers hold enough water for mosquitoes to breed

[@thatellen]

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 :).

[@MarySchipke-dg7dg]

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.

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.

[@sassytherabbit]

@@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'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.

What’s a mosquito magnet?? My backyard needs help from all the bugs!!

[@slawomirlech950]

See, mosquitoes are getting smarter.

[@noninoni9962]

I will DEFINITELY try that after the mosquito spray from tonight's spray truck wears off!! I live next to a SWFTMUD drainage creek -- in Florida -- so it won't be long!! At least it's April and we are in the dry season, other than weekly "cold" fronts bringing a bit of rain here and there, so they aren't real bad -- YET!!

[@NoSuffix]

Wow, nice experiment. Will definitely try this soon.

[@newme1589]

Amazing video ! Can anyone tell me how long would this last ? So when would i need to remake the trap again ?

[@Raycheetah]

For personal defense, you can also tuck a scented dryer sheet somewhere into your clothes; the belt works best as it is about mid-level on your body. The scent interferes with the skeeters' ability to detect you. =^[.]^=

[@ConnieDavis-fn7nz]

You have a great sense of humor! I'm trying all of them because I live by a swamp anything will help!

[@ilsewindey3973]

Your energy is the best 😂💚

[@septembercindy]

I live in Florida and mosquitoes 🦟 are really bad right now.

[@herekittykittykitty6637]

Yes they are! I will be trying this today.

Bat boxes! Find what eats them and support those creatures. Mosquitoes are the basis of many food chains. This is like a spring buffet for many creatures that eat them. If we don't support the animals that eat them, then we throw things off.

@@meaghanorlinski8464 Yes, bats & birds & yeast water. Kill em all !!

[@Craig.catfish]

Same as Australia

[@bakerfx4968]

Lol impressive that you kept a (fairly) straight face while talking about our new insect overlords

[@josephhunt2478]

tried this last night I think it works thank you much

[@9catlover]

Thank you i have saved this. once i spent the whole night trying to catch them

[@thefall-downkings6556]

Beware of super-intelligent intergalactic mosquitoes, lol. Love it! Educational and funny. Thanks!

[@halburd1]

those are called vampires

[@davidmorris4342]

Hi Jag. Many thanks for your ideas will definitely give them a go next year. We have an increasing problem here in France with the little beasts, drives me mad!!

[@privatecaller1418]

Buy dragonflies. A pond or bucket with bamboo sticks, or any vertical plant they lay eggs and you get BABY dragonflies, a airforce team in flight eatting 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 Mosquito is magical!

[@kennyray9159]

Nobody cares about france.

[@MM-jf1me]

​@@privatecaller1418Buying insects to kill insects is a gamble. Whether buying dragonflies or ladybugs, if you purchase a species not native to your region you may create a new problem with an invasive pest and these winged insects can easily fly away from where you wish them to be.

[@davidmorin7939]

I will try these suggestions, thank you!

[@yosei8842]

I am dealing with biting midges so I am hoping that this works for them as well. They are driving me insane. Thanks so much for sharing. 😄😄😄
