I live on about a quarter acre on Fairfield Island. Anyone out here knows how terrible the mosquitoes are this year.
My question is....is there any such thing as a mosquito trap that actually works and is not too much trouble or difficult to maintain?

A friend of mine lives beside a greenbelt and she sprays her back yard with Listerene. Now it has to be the original one, the one that everybody says tastes awful. Dont dilute just put it in a spray bottle and spray away. Now if you do get sucked on then use deodorant and it takes the itch away. She says both of these work really well and it is all that she now uses.

Im is Sardis and havent seen a mosquito,wasp or house fly. Strange to see no insects around at all.I hear those big, black light, bug zappers work well!

I have one of those bug zappers and they do work well. I got the cordless rechargeable one which has been great because with no cords to worry about, I can place it anywhere I want.
XS Cargo is where I got mine as they have the best price.

I agree with the bat house. Not to mention, they put on a nice little show at sunset.

Forget the chemicals. The world has enough , and who knows what these are doing to you.
Wear a bug jacket. You can phone any good outdoors store. Or you can contact MEC store ; they have the good ones.
I wear it all the time at the Skagit. This year the bugs are dormant. Maybe that is why the fishes are hungrier

Mosquitos are not attracted to black light. Mosquito traps almost always use CO2 to attract mosquitos. The black light traps do a good job of killing insects, just not mosquitos.

Canadian Tire sells mosquito traps that use UV light, carbon dioxide and octenol to lure mosquitos to the trap (a screen and fan dries them out and kills them) but they'll cost you >$150. But they do work. My bro-in-law in Winnipeg has a Mosquito Magnet that he swears by http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/store/mosquito-magnet-traps/patriot (http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/store/mosquito-magnet-traps/patriot). Zappers won't do anything compared to the traps.

The whole bat thing is pretty cool have one up at our cabin. They sure take care of those little buggers
