Electric Mosquito Countermeasures

You can’t live anywhere in Florida, or anywhere in the United States for that matter, without knowing what a mosquito is.  For Floridians, mosquitoes are a year long problem.  But their numbers really grow in the spring and summer. Other flying insects also really thrive in the summer and spring months. In this article we would like to go over various insect control methods which we have not discussed previously.

In previous articles we have discussed natural repellents such as citronella. We have also discussed various types of sprays which a person can apply to their body or the general vicinity where they will be inhabiting. And this article we would like to get a little “high tech” and discuss what electronic options exist.

At the top of the market and at the higher end of the price scale, are electric flying insect and mosquito traps.  This one in particular claims to cover up to a full acre of land. It is not cheap either. For around $200 this device uses lights, Heat, and carbon dioxide to attract the mosquitoes. A silent fan then draws the insect inside where they die of dehydration. This device Works without chemicals, zapping, or odors.
