What are the alternatives to traps?
Pesticide Spraying: Using pesticide spraying will give you relief from mosquitoes – for two to four hours. But every good insect that comes in contact with the chemicals will die, including butterflies, ladybugs and praying mantises. Zappers: Contrary to popular belief, the ultraviolet light from a conventional zapper attracts mosquitoes to the general vicinity, but not into the zapper itself. Mosquitoes see better under UV light and use it to locate prime breeding areas. Without CO2 and a thermal lure, however, zappers are almost useless against mosquitoes. Further, zappers can kill thousands of beneficial insects each night.
