Pest control - Mosquito Magnet?

[MaryLee]

We've had a mosquito magnet for a few years and it's amazing how many mosquitoes it catches....a ton. However, it can't keep up with the amount of mosquitoes in my backyard at dusk and it only takes getting bitten by 2 or 3 to ruin the "after-dinner swim".

I wish there was a "non-chemical" way to get rid these pests

There is a Non Chemical way to get rid, or at least reduce these pests. They are called BATS.

We have the worlds most dense population of dragonflies, frogs, and bats....I'll post pictures of the buckets of frogs later

Mosquitos dont live very long in that environment I'll guess I'll deal with the toads and frogs.

Our cabin up north is a different story...
My uncle bought a large mosquito trap and it seemed to make a difference but it was expensive. Winds would bring in new batches of bugs so unless you run it all the time you wont make much of an impact.

The foggers Work better in my experience. You have to fog in advance of your outdoor plans or at least hit them when they get bad....In my experience its cheaper even if you end up fogging every night.
