Do mosquito magnets actually work?
The jury is still out on their actual effectiveness. They are designed to attract, trap and destroy mosquitoes, but studies have shown that while they do attract mosquitoes into your yard, they have produced minor success in actual control of the population. The concern becomes that if these devices attract mosquitoes, then they may actually contribute to a vast increase in your mosquito population, rather than a decrease. Because your goal is to not have any mosquitoes at all, you’re better off staying away from this method.
