Unfortunately, not!

@@superspecialty5169 huh?

He needs to keep a LIVE cam on it 24/7

I used a lamp base that has a plug-in on it. Solves that, and with a three wire cord, one doesn't need to be worried about polarity on the cords if you follow color code.

They are attracted to Joy lemon scented liquid soap

Same here- 2 very useful projects 👍

And since it is outside in the elements, plug into a GFIC outlet so you won’t get electrocuted.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about a Wal*Mart indoor fan being used. If there are any driving or angled rains, that thing's getting wet.

The third (ground) wire is designed to be attached to a metal chassis, so if it accidently gets shorted to the hot, you won't get shocked. But since this entire device is plastic, there isn't any metal chassis for the ground wire to be attached to. So upgrading to a three wire plug would be worthless. That's also the reason most power tools have a two wire polarized plug, because the plastic case of those power tools has the same sort of setup. BUT, I will say that plugging it into a GFCI would be a very good idea. I do agree that would be the correct thing to do.

A quick spray with rubbing alcohol kills mosquitoes in the trap instantly

Yep, thats what I did.

That's what I was going to suggest

Also, wear a pair of your old underwear for about a month or more straight (try to shower as little as possible) and then cut them up into a dozen pieces or so. Mount a piece of wire hanger next to the light bulb, and hang the pieces on it. Change out pieces once or twice a week. The bulb heats them up and the skeeters are really attracted to the smell.

@@refugeinc.159 Wife's panties would be better 😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆

@TurtleWaxed Did you make one? If so, how did it work for your striped tiger mosquitos?

@@mrficxit1785 you can bait it differently for different types of mosquitoes

Spritz with alcohol.

Fan beheads & dewings

in my experience, soapy water (e.g., Dawn or car wash soap) snags & drowns them even if they were to try to lay eggs as they do on fresh water.

What 4?

😂😂😂😂

@@superspecialty5169 He alluded to making a larger mosquito trap at the end of the how-to make this 5 gal mosquito trap video.

I sure would love to see one that Big ...I got a some big barrel in the Back yard..

He never made it, but someone should

or get frogs and offer them feasts!

Free chicken feed

Or a sweaty old sock. Works like a charm

Right, it would !!!

June bugs are easy. You need an old single kitchen sink, a 5 gallon bucket about 1/4 full of water and several ducks. Put the sink on top of the bucket under a yard light. Empty every morning for the ducks and they will turn the June bugs into eggs. KISS, Keep It Super Simple!

That sounds counter intuitive. A larger mesh would let larger insect in. Am i missing something?

@@gtakeifer The top is open and allows all insect in. A larger mesh would allow skeeters entry while preventing the moths that are mostly valuable.

@@paulnielsen8528 understood

Interesting. Good comment.

Stop driving your car at night. It kills many more larger insects

I would say put it on or near the bottom of the bucket on the outside so it draws the scent upwards. Putting it near the light is only going to draw the scent downward with less travelling outward. It would probably be better to attach a wire that's about 18 inches to 2 feet that extends away from the bucket. Using one of the handles you could bend an eyelet on one end and screw it to the bottom of the bucket and put the scent on the other end. With it on the bottom, more scent would be allowed to disperse in a broader area, than for it to be limited to such a small area around the light. At least it makes sense in my crazy mind. Lol

yes, this trap is basically like a vacuum cleaner. The light attracts the insects which are then pulled into the bucket by the air that is moved by the fan. Once the insects are past the fan in the lower bucket, the air that is constantly pushing down into the bucket prevents the insects from flying back up and out of the top of the bucket. The airflow holds them down inside the bucket. Therefore keep in mind that once the fan is turned off, some insects could escape again through the top.

Fan may also desicate the bugs that don't get masticated by the fan.

They starve.

Smuggle them in from Mexico.

Vote for conservatives.

@@misfittoytower Preaching to the choir.

Also use smaller fan to create tube vacuum that sucks right where co2 comes out of hose.

I like that idea. Would a it produce enough co2 to run constantly?

Buy Co2 making product for plants and put in place of the bulb. Also, create your own by putting bowl with foliage in it to rot and produce co2. Maybe make a 5 gallon bucket with lid, valve and garden hose running it up to trap to feed co2 to replace bulb.

@@Jiggledance TY, sounds plausible

@@Jiggledance Then, what exterminates them?

@@superspecialty5169 The co2 is bait, and the fan is to trap. The bucket is where they go via vacuum from the fan. Ideally, you would put the fan on the lower and put a screen on the back of it. The vacuum sucks them against the screen. Then when ready to dispose of them aka kill them, keep the fan on, take off the bugs that you do not want to kill, let them free, then kill those little suckers stuck against the screen. In that case, you would keep the same size fan if you want to save other little insects. If not just get a smaller fan to suck them into the bucket the way he has it set up.

@@danielgoodland2886 Interesting but it does not seem like they tested or showed any data for other wavelengths other than blue (such as the common 405nm UV/Violet LED which would be a nice comparison) they hand waved it away as personal observation in pilot study. Also curious if its as effect on other mosquito genera, not just Anopheles; since where I live of the 63 endemic species only 8 are Anopheles.

In Texas the mosquitoes are so big that they could stand flat footed and @#%! a turkey! Lol

All bugs are harmful if they are bothering me.

@@OJA1965 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Those are the E27 Black Light. THEY are UV Light !!!

Yep I'll take one, BUT with the fan wire connected to the bulb fixture where there is ONLY ONE to plug in,

Lots of birds and bats and small fish would potentially go extinct, for one thing.

I came looking for someone that might have a way to avoid catching moths and all I found was you shitting on the guy. Clearly that's like 95% mosquitos or more! If you got anything POSITIVE to add that would be great... where is your trap build?
