Well, today I changed out the propane tank and lure scent on my Mosquito Magnet. Just for kicks, I decided to count how many the trap caught over the past 3 weeks. I dumped the trap net out onto an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. Just as I began counting, a puff of wind blew a few dead skeeters away. I'm guessing 20 or so. It took me a while to count but I counted 289 dead bugs in the net for the previous 3 weeks. Add back the 20 or so that blew away and it's over 300 dead skeeters. Below is a picture of what I dumped out of the net prior to counting. Like I said, it definately kills mosquitos but I'm not sure it makes a noticeable difference at my house and it's expensive to operate.

If it don't kill 300 in 1 hour, it aint worth it!!!!!!!

Worst I've ever seen them this year out 90 E. I spray down now everytime I go outside or you can't stand to be out there.

A couple of weeks ago it was horrible, but now seems to have subsided. I have a couple of bats I see flying around at night. They must be making a dent in the population.

This sounds crazy but someone told me about it and IT WORKED! On our back porch we had loads of skeeters and I wanted them gone. A friend suggested I spray them with windex...the blue stuff.....it killed them instantly! I was shocked but it sure did work well. When the windex hit them they went down and were gone. I don't know how it would work if you sprayed it around outside but it couldn't hurt to try.

TS Debby hit us about a month ago leaving lots of standing water. Mosquitos lay eggs in standing water but they only have life spans of 2-3 weeks. I think most of the reduction most of us are feeling is due to their natural life cycle.

Makes sense

Windex is also great for mosquito bites. Stops the itch in just a few minutes. Dont believe me? Try it. Works better than anything else( cortisone cream etc)
