Found this new product at the Co-Op. Amazon only has 1 review so far, so- ??? https://www.amazon.com/Units-Acre-Kills-Mosquitos- Days/dp/B07C1RYNT6/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1?_encoding =UTF8&psc=1&refRID=EKP77NJSJG29XE6VRASE Yeesh, Amazon price is $34.99 plus $4.99 S&H... Weirdly, the three active ingredients are sodium chloride, sucrose, and yeast, at varying percentages each per volume. Claims to kill the little bloodsucking beattches for 90 days over a whole acre. $20 per box, 2 units per box. Hoping to research this stuff a bit, but not a bad bet for the price. Lady at the Co-Op said she'd heard they work... | ||

Salt, sugar, and yeast? If you mixed it with flour, you could make dinner rolls. | ||

So, I get the sugar and yeast. That'll make alcohol and, more importantly, CO2, which is likely the attractant. But I don't understand what kills them, unless it's just a simple trap. | ||

Are mosquitoes gluten intolerant? | ||

Found their site: https://spartanmosquito.com/mosquito/ I dunno. For the cost and trouble of tiki torches, might as well try this stuff. Last year the state of TN sent out a epidemiologist guy, he asked if he could set up some skeeter traps to study for the season, fine with me. He said he'd bring me back a copy of the results... still waiting. | ||

Yeah, I've thrown away that much on mosquito control that only works marginally, if at all. I might pick up a set. | ||

I found another site where people are talking about this, and they say the little buggers eat the yeast and sugar and their stomachs explode. I guess mosquitoes cannot burp.  | ||

I just tried to order some from their site. I can't. Due to strong demand, they only sell to government on their web site. The rest of us have to find a retailer. Amazon is out of stock. They're either marketing geniuses or they don't really want to sell any. Closest retailer is about 30 miles from me, in a part of town I rarely frequent. Pass. | ||

Well, next time I pass by my Co-Op and have a spare $20, I'll try the stuff. Gotta get back to putting in my garden now, before the dang T-storms show up!  | ||

Went a little while ago to get a spark plug for the tiller, threw down the $20 for this stuff. Will report back in due time. Stopped by my neighbor's place on the way in- he's got a wifey and 2 kids, paying $40 a month for a company to spray his property, he's watching too. I HATE skeeters!! Blood sucking beattches of any kind for that matter... | ||

Lady at the Co-Op said there are BoobTube vids, not watched yet. I'd like to see a time-elapse... Here's one... | ||

There's a retailer selling them online. Jakeslongview.com. I just bought two kits. |
