Question from Diana
Hello all who have given great suggestions on my outdoor mosquito control question. THANK YOU!
My goal is to decrease the mosquito population without chemicals before they decide they want to feed on me. I’ve used the natural essential oil products, but they don’t always work well, and I’m rather sensitive.
The question that I really want answered is about CO2 machines. Do they really work in luring the mosquitos and then trapping them. I have taken into account decreasing any breeding grounds by controling water puddles, etc.., but there is a ditch close to the property that I have no control of even if I try using the bt larvacide. The ditch is sometimes moving and other times not. I need to know whether it is worth buying one of those CO2 machines and which one might be the best?
The mosquito problem is not just a few bugs flying around, it is many swarming the humans, which makes going outside very unenjoyable and worrisome due to West Nile problem in the area.
I am aware that bats and swallows are great mosquito eaters too. I need something more.
Thanks in advance, D
