Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted December 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2021 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. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) 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. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/portoti-pr-25mb-mosquito-pest-killer-i174536187-s358395528.html?exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350204_2010350204::13:12361258259!116250861285!!!dsa-994763964701!c!!!!562801083306!206363463602&gclid=CjwKCAiA78aNBhAlEiwA7B76pz6ZSyilTWURd8X0LUR4SHbo1-W-NpZX7PLZUPygTzYWl234qFp75hoCbbYQAvD_BwE 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.

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that, almost no mosquitos anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliebadenhop Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 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!

xtrnuno41 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
