Mosquito management inside the house

Featured Replies

Good morning,

Have you had success with blue light zappers or other plug-in devices inside house?

Outside - mosquito coils or other?

Looking for mosquito management ideas:

Inside house bedroom and bathroom.

Outside kitchen area and bathroom.

We do insure there is no standing water around house for breeding, however tis the season.....

Thanks for your input.

Mosquito blinds on windows, doors etc

I bought a 40cm ultraviolet bug zapper similar to what you describe in around 2016. It worked very, very well.
Unfortunately, the dead flies, mosquitoes in the tray at the bottom attracted the small skinks (chinchok) which then electrocuted themselves trying to get to them.

This, obviously, lead to them being barbecued on the grillwork covering the blue fluoro strips, necessitating scraping crusty reptile off the machine each morning.
I tried various ways to "free"-hang the zapper from chains, string, and rope but those skinks are agile blighters and nothing worked.
After a few weeks or so, I gave up and it's been gathering dust and cobwebs in the back shed since then.

None of the gimmicks work. Only thing that keeps them out and does it well are walls, windows and screens.

Screens are cheap here and work great in for your outdoor kitchen. You can buy the screen material for almost nothing on Lazada and then hire someone to mount or just get out some scissors and cut yourself. Mount with strong double sided tape and attach section with skinny zip ties. I decided wall and windows are even better but the screens worked for years.
