Hello all

 

Does anyone know an anti mosquito device which can be use in the house and actually works?

Everything I have tried has failed except being fully clothed. 

These are quite good...

 

HOUSE WORTH Electric Mosquito and Insect Trap Model HW-K02

 

These as well.....

Important to understand they work more effectively in the dark. 

I married a mosquito killing device that also doubles as a washing machine.  Only downside is the running costs are extremely high.

 

At night try having a faint night-light in the room and have a small rubbish bin with a black plastic bag liner.  The Mozzies will be attracted to the darkness and settle there.  In the morning zap the bag with spray and they're gonners.  This even works outside at night.

Mosquito's are attracted more to Co2 , your breath ,than UV lights,

better to get one of the electric tennis racket things, and swat them

when they come near. not expensive. and might improve your backhand ......????

Maybe one of those Midgies CO² machines would work well

Portoti PR 25MB are very effective both inside and out.  But make sure real (about 900 baht or more).  Not the knock offs selling for 100 baht.

Do normal blue light zappers kill mostly other insects and are not that effective but the Portoti is well made with computer grade fan and specific lights and in my experience over last two years very, very effective.  At that price and still having over one thousand 5 star reviews on Lazada says a lot.

 

Be very suspect of any inexpensive unit with cheap fan as had a BlackHole clone become an open fire as plastic burned.  This is one item that it pays to buy quality.

Quite right. It's CO2 in your breath and sweat that attracts them (only the females mind you).

I dangled mine from the middle of a door frame with a nail and it 100% works, they actually use the correct wavelength for UV as opposed to just jamming purple lights inthere and I have hundreds of mosquitoes in mine very often.. a rare feat since I live right by the beach and we don't see many of them

 

only thing is that you don't want to be putting it in viewing distance of you as they will go to you instead..

in the about two years I have had mine i found out little butterfly in mine only once

But if you kill them with a trap there are none remaining to breed and be attracted by your breath.  Been there, done that, almost no mosquitos anymore.

Why do they always go for my ankles and not my head ?

Wifey says they love very white skin.

They devices that let out small puffs of CO2 and not so expensive.

 

But I got a simple device on Lazada recently for about B250, the fan is so weak I thought it was not working...

 

And it catches about 10-15 a day, which is GREAT!

Yeah, what about mossi nets and fly screens?

I got it everywhere, in particular on all doors. ????

Don't you find, sitting up in your bed all night long with an electric swatter in your hand, a bit tiring though?

Sure, in addition to electric mosquito killers. There is no single solution. Build up your protection in layers.

i dont know the mosquito trap but i do know the brand  they have excellent ant bait

Look OUTSIDE your house if you can find puddles. of water. Ditch them.

Inside a mosquito nets on windows , doors and over bed.

The biters, only female, also dont like cold (airco on?) and drafts, so a fan over your bed or in house?

but there are several mosquito's, the most dangerous one is the tiger mosquito, which can spread dengue, malaria and some more diseases.

 

There are little ones , they bite on ankle, i know. You have  wounds but they luckily dont itch.

You use to have lotions with DEET which worked fine, but you dont see it anymore (that much), as DEET has other problems. Toxic for your body.

In the country i met a mosquito, it was on my chest, not that big, so instantly killed it.

However too late and she left me an allergy spot as big as a dollar. Was amazed, was first time ever. 

And tough i just saw her in a blink, im sure it was a mosquito.

How do you even let them get into your bedroom , one place I take great care over,

its not so easy in other parts of the house ,with doors been open and shut all the time.

I live upcountry, we have mossies here the size of a man's hand....  they don't just fly into the bedroom, they kick the door down.  ????

 

 

Get a Gecko.

search lazada...."pest control"

Send me £50 and I'll drop off a sack full each of these...

 

 

 

 

At around 18 h , I close windows and bedroom doors. Put in an electric plug, Pyrel , not dangerous , and a fan blowing a few meters away from bed. No mossies.
