minus-squareElise@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoIsn’t there something that emits co2 and then zaps them? I guess I should just get a net and a hand held zapper?
minus-squareMoonMelon@lemmy.mlcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoYes, there are propane powered mosquito traps that emit heat and CO2. Supposedly they are effective but costly.
minus-squareITGuyLevi@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoThey also have electric ones. They use a UV bulb and some titanium compound that releases CO2 when hit by UV, pretty neat and work decently once you interrupt the breeding cycle. Dynatrap is the popular brand I think.
