DIY MOSQUITO CONTROL pesticide FREE mosquito control Solar Powered Fan West Nile Virus
Using a Maxx Air Flow fan 24″, the Orange one from The Home Depot $99 (EXCELLENT FANS) You can clean an area in a few nights breaking an uncontrolled population cycle. This option requires 250 watts of electricity but does not require any pesticides. The screens serve a dual purpose, they also collect dust and fine particulates and eventually form a mat of air junk. The screen provides an easy cleaning option and prevents dire from entering the bearings of the induction motor. The solar option uses a 27 watt blower fan and works great for pigeon and chicken coops, animal kennels and outdoor porches. Place the fans near infested or high traffic areas. KEEP FANS DRY, no rain. Always Unplug when servicing screens or moving. Place the inlet side towards people or animals so you suck the mosquitos away. This also sucks in carbon dioxide creating an attraction trail for the mosquitos to follow sticking them to the back of the fan:-) I have a few more options in the works: WATER COLLECTION NESTS By placing leaves and yard debris in the bottom of a container and filling it with water, the leaves decompose and provide an attractive spot for mosquitos to place their larvae. Once visible, you MUST collect the larvae with a fine fish net and dry them in the sun. This option prevent mosquitos from nesting in ditches and other areas where you cannot stop the cycle. YOU MUST clean daily or you create a mosquito farm. BATS: I have a DIY VIDEO on how to build a bat house and tips on …

@JO138214 alcohol is pretty volatile so it would’ve evaporated fairly quickly.
great video, if i still lived in Louisiana i would be setting up a few of those
Mosquito’s see in the Thermal infrared spectrum, they can also smell blood via their Antenna, one of the reasons why bug zapper don’t work on them is because the zapper uses UV light not infrared.
When you sprayed the diluted alcohol, you just contaminated the food for the lizards and frogs which could kill them.
What do you use to attract the mosquito to the fan? ?? Do you have propane or something?
What about if it rains? Do you bring the fans in, or are they durable enough to withstand inclement weather?

Put up a few bat boxes.
My only objection to this method is the noise. I’m surprised your mosquito magnet did not perform well. Unless you bought an off brand knock-off.
You will probably never have bats in your bat house, you need to put it on a solid structure like the side of a barn, so they can find it easily. If you just have it on a post they will just assume its another tree, hard for them to echo locate something like that. “I have several bat houses myself was the first thing I learned was not to put them on a tree or post. Also why not put your fans on timers or day/night sensors mosquitoes are mainly out at night.

250 watts of electricity * 24 hours = 6 KWH every single day, which would cost me about a buck per day at my present rate. That’s a lot, but entirely reasonable if you can buy it off the grid.
Ideally, I’d like to get the daily maintenance down to maybe a 1 minute chore that’s a bit less messy, but this seems pretty easy as-is.
How often do you have to run the fan? Constantly throughout the summer or just a few days a week or what? Thanks for the vid.
big red ants they will eat them fast
how about putting in a habitat for bats. If you have flying bugs that are out at night, bats will take care of the problem for free. I swore I seen a few toe nails in your collection there.

@thelonelyimmortal ya perhaps incapsulate your intire property with netting like a batting cage

The humanity of it all! Its not pest control its genocide!
SAVE THE MOSQUITO!
Nice!!!!!
you have really big mosquitoes down there were i live in Nebraska they aren’t that big
@joelito101 And a little disgusting…..
the moth that survived has probly went crazy in that jar with all the dead mosquitos, you should’ve put him out of his misoury
I understand that bats eat several thousand mosquitos per hour; so it would be more eco friendly to get a few bats to live in your belfry or in your eves, or make houses for them, and watch them go to town on your mosquitos. You could rent your bats out to the whole village and make a little money on the side instead of consumint ELECTRICITY. Just sayin’
