Mosquito Magnet...anybody have one??

[PJT]

I have a defender model setup which I bought late last year. Although it put quite a noticeable difference in the population, nosferatu's blood thirsty henchmen managed to take a few pints out of myself and my dog. The trick is to get it setup early in the season to wipe out the starter bugs and to stop the cycle of breeding. Clearing out brush and things that hold water helps alot as well. Mosquitos need only about a drop of stagnent water to breed.

Once the ambient air is greater than 56 degrees, it's time to turn the machine on and leave it on 24/7 preferably in a shaded area. Must have killed off 1000's last year but since I was late in purchasing one, I wasn't able to get a foothold in breaking the cycle. Black flies have been a beeyach so far and not so much as the skeeters. The machine will be on starting tonite. I am doublful that it will take care of the problem but at least I can enjoy the outdoors to a certain extent.
