yes!

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck👍🏻😁

@@globeprogram I have suggestion for an improvement: Puncture a small hole just above the water level. It will help keeping the desired water level by (1) adding water from above (if you add too much, the extra would drip out from the hole). (2) Put it where sprinklers would keep it full (and the hole would keep it from over filling).

if u have a mosquito problem u should try all possible tricks.this is just one of them

"Mosquito Trap Assembly" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7CflcV7z7m8nn0.html This trap has no top side opening so it is less likey to get flooded out by casual rain. Also, this traps the egg laying mosquito, so it is no free to go and bite again and lay more eggs, and make more itches and transfer more disease.

Thanks for sharing! Happy observing! 😄

When it rains, the eggs fall through the mesh, and the mosquitoes will not be able to escape once they reach the adult stage. The trap is designed for rain water, however you may be able to add your own "rain effect" by flushing them out.

​@@globeprogramseems like as others have suggested an overflow hole in the lower section might help?

@@mr88jmr88 Feel free to try any new techniques! 😃

I think what you are trying to say is: "The best trap's are the ones that capture the mosquito larvae and then are fed to the fishes before they can become a flying/biting mosquito."

If you put the adult mosquitoes in the freezer, they will be dead enough to feed your fish. I polluted my aquarium with the funky larvae water and it made my fish sick.

It is a trap. You passed. She just wanted to see if people catch that, and you did. She cannot fool you.

viewers don't want to appear stupid, so they went along with it. If it works the way she described, she did not need that funnel, did not even need to cut the bottle. The function of that funnel is easy entry for the mosquitoes. The netting is the trap to fool the viewers.

I think the larvae just get heavy enough to eventually slide into the water through the net with all their wriggling. The surface is rough so they don’t fall in too quickly. Gravity is just going to pull them in as they move around.

Great question! This is something that will vary from region to region, but you can experiment by placing the trap in different locations and keeping it in a protected, sheltered space outdoors.

Best mosquito attractant (besides humans) is a chemical you can easily buy, called octenol. (1-Octen-3-ol). From wikipedia: "1-Octen-3-ol, octenol for short and also known as mushroom alcohol, is a chemical that attracts biting insects such as mosquitoes. It is contained in human breath and human sweat, and it was once believed that insect repellent DEET worked by blocking the insects' octenol odorant receptors. Recent evidence in Anopheles gambiae and Culex quequinfasciatius mosquitoes suggest DEET reduces the volatility of 1-octen-3-ol which can result in a reduction in human attraction. 1-Octen-3-ol is a secondary alcohol derived from 1-octene. It exists in the form of two enantiomers, (R)-(-)-1-octen-3-ol and (S)-(+)-1-octen-3-ol."

carbon dioxide, warmth, body odor and perfume. Open a bottle of seltzer water and leave the lid on but open. the mosquitoes will think a breathing animal is nearby and come searching.

This is an alternative to purchasing products, instead using simple household objects!

A BTI tablet would kill any larvae in the trap.

With mosquito dunks, you don't need a trap. But you have to keep buying mosquito dunks. Duh

Dunks only kill the larvae but do not affect the biting females. Also dunks degrade with time and sunlight, the bacteria does not breed in water so it doesn't culture and keep killing. Also Dunks do not ATTRACT mosquitoes so you have to guess whether where you put it is an attractive nursery ( let water sit overnight and you'll find out real quick though...) , you'd have to repeatedly open the trap to replenish the BT inside to keep kiling the larvae. They will eventually die anyway. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7CflcV7z7m8nn0.html This trap collects eggs, traps larvae so they cannot escape , and also traps the blood biting egg laying female mosquito so she cannot continue to bite and spread disease and suffering.
