    So far, the most informative mosquito DIY trap I've seen. Socks! That's a great idea.

    Thats awesome, they also love urine so keep your sample in a can or container underneath the light below the fan and watch the parasites rush in as the urine
    warms up and evaporates it is very effective outside.

    I was standing looking out the backyard through my double pane glass that stretches from floor to ceiling. There were two incidents happened where a mosquito would fly straight at my face. I felt they evolved to see us now.

    If you want to attract more moths you could probably use a 50w mercury vapour bulb & a ballast for the bulb. The ballast would make more heat aswell

    Thanks for that details. I didn't get proper position of the fan. How exactly it is extracting it in.

    • @fredbrackely
      @fredbrackely  3 года назад +2

      Its a bit of trial and error, with the positioning of the lure on the can. You don't want it too close to the fan, otherwise the chemical will be drawn through the fan and out through the screen. This causes the mozzies to fly underneath to the screen.

  • @DesmaraisChris
    @DesmaraisChris 6 лет назад +7

    I too would like to know how many you caught. Roughly how many do you get in 24 hours?

    • @fredbrackely
      @fredbrackely  5 лет назад +7

      Its actually running again right now. I did need to give it a service (new bulb lol) The mozzy count varies dependent on wind direction with that type of lure, but yesterday after about 22 hours, I got 27 moths and 318 Mosquito's.

    Mosquito lure octenol is not available in India, can you suggest any other alternative ?

    • @fredbrackely
      @fredbrackely  3 года назад +1

      Use an old shoe insole, they'll be attracted to that. Chemical wise, not sure if there is an international alternative, but Octenol is a type of mushroom alcohol, so you could try Phenethyl alcohol instead.
