minus-square Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink3•20 days 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-square MoonMelon ( @MoonMelon@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkEnglish3•20 days agoYes, there are propane powered mosquito traps that emit heat and CO2. Supposedly they are effective but costly.
minus-square ITGuyLevi ( @ITGuyLevi@programming.dev ) linkfedilink3•20 days 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.
