Homemade mosquito trap - step-by-step instructions for making different types of products


Operating principle and varieties

Electric mosquito traps are highly effective against most flying insects, and they are harmless to people, animals and the environment.
They operate primarily from mains power, but some operate from rechargeable batteries. Types of traps:

  • To attract midges and mosquitoes, they use ultraviolet radiation using a special lamp, which does not harm people, but serves as a light bait for flying pests;
  • insect killers that have a built-in fan that sucks them inside with a stream of air;
  • devices that emit carbon dioxide to simulate the warm body of humans and mammals and their breathing.

All traps are designed in such a way that after getting inside they touch a metal mesh under high voltage current, and the insects are shocked by an electric discharge and die.

Review of popular traps

Below are street remedies that are in great demand among consumers.

Sitetek Still

Another effective tool is the Sititek Still trap. The device works using ultraviolet light, carbon dioxide (which mimics human breathing) and heat. The operation of the built-in fan facilitates the penetration of approaching insects into the device. The pests do not have the opportunity to get back out, as a result of which they die from dehydration.

It is ideal to use such a device. After all, the impact area extends to 100 square meters. m. In addition, the device has a wide range of applications - it is also effective against black flies, midges and wasps.

The trap has 2 operating modes (uninterrupted and timed). Silent, does not emit toxic chemicals. Therefore, the Sititek Still trap can be used even in rooms where there are children. Another advantage of the device is its cost-effectiveness. The device does not require additional consumables, not even carbon dioxide. It is formed by a photocatalytic method. The cost of mosquito repellent is slightly less than 4,000 rubles.

Insect killer 14044er

For areas up to 4 acres, the Insect killer trap is suitable. The American device, produced by Flowtron, has a double effect on pests. It is based on the use of an ultraviolet lamp, the light of which serves as a bait for annoying insects. This element also has another function: it can be used as a source of evening lighting. Mosquitoes that approach the trap will inevitably die from an electrical discharge that passes through the metal grid.

To enhance the luring effect, the device uses Octenol, a composition reminiscent of human sweat. This substance does not pose a danger to human health, as it is not toxic. In addition, its smell is completely imperceptible to people.

The Insect killer outdoor mosquito catcher has a long service life as it is equipped with a high-quality steel body. The cost of an innovative invention is in the range of 6100-6300 rubles.

Mt64

The Chinese Mt64 trap also has similar properties. It creates comfort during an evening relaxation in nature and protects against mosquitoes in an area of ​​up to 6000 square meters. m.

The principle of operation of the device is to release heat and carbon dioxide, which imitate human breathing. The uninterrupted operation of the trap for 15 days helps to interrupt the biological cycle of pest reproduction, which leads to a reduction in the pest population.

The price range of the product varies between 3000-3200 rubles.

Trap Mt100

Another analogue for large areas is the Mt100 mosquito repellent equipment. The coverage diameter of the protective function of this system is up to 15 acres.

The gas mosquito trap uses six proven methods to attract pests. Carbon dioxide (in a cylinder), heat, and a mixture of octenol and lactic acid are used as bait.

Also, the attention of insects is attracted by ultraviolet light, which they catch at a great distance and the black color of the body

To collect mosquitoes, midges and other flying insects that enter the device, there is a container in the trap. The price is within 7000 rubles.

Laser gun

The laser mosquito repellent is unique in its essence. This device can destroy an entire colony of insects (effectiveness is up to hundreds of mosquitoes per second). The device is equipped with an optical system, the work of which is to process incoming signals in the form of images using infrared radiation. Thanks to this, the invention can even recognize the gender of a flying individual at a distance of 30 m. After which the system sends a command to a powerful laser to destroy the pest.

In the summer, night “singers” pester not only residents of rural houses, but even city dwellers living on the first five floors. The stores sell many different or premises. Most of them have rather difficult conditions of use or high prices. A homemade mosquito trap may not have these disadvantages, since most often it is made from scrap materials. Such homemade products are based on the biological characteristics of insects: the desire to find a source of carbon dioxide and night flights aimed at the Moon. The latter is the reason why nocturnal insects “fly towards the light.”

Advantages of electric mosquito traps

The appliance models are distinguished by their original design, allowing them to easily fit into any interior. Inventions equipped with LED lamps can serve as a night lighting device. The brightness of their glow is regulated by special switches. Most designs of outdoor mosquito traps resemble lanterns in appearance. These mosquito repellent lamps attract insects with carbon dioxide and kill them with a built-in emitter.

The mosquito exterminator has a whole arsenal of positive aspects, among which the following significant factors stand out:

  • quiet operation;
  • absence of foreign odors;
  • simplicity and ease of maintenance;
  • economical energy consumption;
  • safety and reliability;
  • affordable price.

The devices are manufactured in compliance with all technological and technical requirements. For ease of use, many models have replaceable containers where destroyed pests are placed.

For an electric trap to be truly beneficial, it is necessary to choose the right model to meet your specific needs. The following devices are distinguished:

  • stationary and portable;
  • for indoors, outdoors or universal devices;
  • to serve a specific area.

Taking into account all these factors, you can purchase a device that will reliably protect against bloodsuckers.

Review

On the advice of friends, I bought an electric trap for the dacha - a Terminator lamp. Nice fit. It can be placed anywhere as it is equipped with convenient fasteners. I hung the lamp on the veranda, and now the whole family is enjoying a quiet time in the fresh air. Mosquitoes fly towards the device, not towards us.

Types of devices

Industrially manufactured devices for killing mosquitoes and other harmful insects operate on the same principle. They lure parasites into a space from which they are no longer able to escape. Inside, the bloodsucker dies from electrical shock, poison, or dehydration.

On a note!

Mosquitoes are attracted to human body odor, light, warmth and water. This is precisely the basis for the action of various traps.

One or several mosquito lures can be used as bait in devices. Pests associate all of them with food or reproduction, so they strive to reach the trap.

The following types of electric mosquito killers and other bloodsuckers are available on the market:

  1. Devices with ultraviolet lamps. They attract insects with their light. Mosquitoes come into contact with a metal plate under high voltage and are killed by electric current. The traps are completely safe for humans and pets, as they do not emit any harmful odors and are aimed only at killing blood-sucking insects. To enhance the effect, the devices use safe attractants that imitate the odor of the human body. Consumer reviews posted on the website confirm the high efficiency of innovative technology.
  2. Special devices with a fan installed inside, like a vacuum cleaner, suck in mosquitoes, flies and other insects approaching the trap. The device attracts with the light of a lamp and a small amount of carbon dioxide, which reminds insects of the smell of human skin.
  3. A trap that releases carbon dioxide. The device is equipped with a lamp made using a special technology that emits carbon dioxide and simulates the heat emanating from all warm-blooded animals, including humans.

All devices operate on the principle of emitting light, generating heat and carbon dioxide, due to which mosquitoes mistake traps for living organisms. Models are equipped with a fine-mesh metal mesh that transmits electric current that is harmful to insects.

Types of mosquito traps

All mosquito traps operate on a similar principle - they lure mosquitoes into an area from which there is no return. They are attracted to warmth, food, humidity and human smell. That is why for each type of trap, one of the factors that attracts mosquitoes is taken.

Industrially manufactured and commercially available traps are divided into five groups:

  • thermal;
  • water;
  • ultraviolet;
  • carbon dioxide;
  • propane

Let's look at the features of each type.

Heat traps

From the name of this type of trap it is clear that it emits heat currents and this is what lures mosquitoes. The big advantage is that this type is used both outside and inside country houses and apartments. Let's talk about other advantages of a thermal device for catching mosquitoes:

  • The trap is designed in such a way that it attracts insects not only by emitted heat, but also by simulating human presence. This occurs due to the fact that the traps contain carbon dioxide or attractants, which in their composition and smell are as close as possible to human sweat.
  • The standard coverage radius of the trap is 50 meters. In calm weather, one device protects the dacha area from mosquitoes. However, when choosing, you should pay attention to the power of the trap - depending on it, the device covers an area with a radius of 20 to 50 meters.
  • Some types of heat traps are equipped with LEDs, which significantly extends their service life: LED lamps last for more hours of operation. They also have minimal energy consumption, which has a positive effect on housekeeping and savings.
  • The traps are equipped with special nets and water tanks - the owner himself chooses how exactly to get rid of mosquitoes caught in the trap. The presence of a mesh and a reservoir in the device is determined by the specific type of trap. If the device is equipped with a net, then once caught in the trap, mosquitoes cannot get out of it - they die from dehydration. If there is a special reservoir into which water should be poured to a specified level, then the mosquitoes attracted by the trap will drown. In most cases, judging by consumer reviews, the format of draining dead insects from the trap is convenient - this is easier to do than freeing the mesh from them. In addition, mosquitoes lay eggs in water, but at the same time quickly drown in any liquid.

Attraction by heat is one of the baits for mosquitoes, to which they flock well

There are three significant drawbacks to thermal devices:

  • High price (individual copies reach 1 thousand dollars). This cost is due to its high efficiency and the ability to cover large areas. Such products are not in mass demand and are suitable for use on the street or in large houses.
  • Requires a lot of space for installation (the devices are bulky).
  • Constant access to the power grid is required, so they are not suitable for dachas where there is no light.

Usually they are installed near the recreation area, which allows you to achieve absolute comfort. The traps do not distract the owners from relaxing in any way and do not remind them of themselves; they are safe. However, you should not place it in close proximity to sofas, outdoor chairs - in places where people sit, as the device generates thermal heating. People sitting nearby will feel uncomfortable due to the heat directed at them, especially during the hot season. The ideal option for installation is at a distance of 2–2.5 meters from the recreation area.

Consumers often leave reviews about Mega-Catch brand devices from the Pro 900 series. The devices do not completely get rid of mosquitoes, but they significantly reduce their number. Although the Mega-Catch has received mostly positive reviews from customers, people often complain that it is difficult to choose a place to install it due to its rather bulky size. It is difficult to create baits when hunting mosquitoes using liquid. And also many buyers are misled by the confusing timer settings.

Water traps

The safest for people are water mosquito traps. They are also easy to use and highly effective.

The principle of operation of the trap is that mosquitoes are attracted to a moist environment - females lay eggs in it. The bait here is the water itself - mosquitoes flock there and can’t get out, they quickly drown. Periodically it is necessary to clean the trap from dead insects and add new water - this is the entire care of the device.

There are also disadvantages to water devices:

  • in dry weather, water quickly evaporates and it is necessary to constantly replenish its reserves, otherwise the device will be ineffective;
  • The device operates from the mains.

This type of trap attracts mosquitoes with ultraviolet light - usually a lamp or flashlight, in addition to a trap with water. Double action allows you to get the best effect. Sometimes such devices are equipped with fans, CO2 or other effective attractants. The Dyntrap Insect Trap device, for example, fully confirms the advantages and disadvantages described above. It must be turned on independently every evening, and water must be added frequently.


Dyntrap Insect Trap with water tray, device cost no more than $70

Carbon dioxide traps

Such devices release energy that is similar to human breathing. This is the essence of the mosquito bait, which they sense at a distance of 20 meters from the installation site.

The principle of operation is as follows: for mosquitoes, the smell of carbon dioxide is a signal that a person is nearby, and as soon as they catch it, the insects are completely ready to attack. As soon as the insects fly up to the device, they are sucked into a sealed removable compartment, where they subsequently die from lack of air and food.

Attention! The devices are intended for outdoor use. To operate them, it is necessary to frequently change gas cylinders. In closed spaces, devices can harm human health.

When choosing CO2 traps, pay attention to the following factors:

  • Opt for portable devices that are easy to move and can be hung up.
  • Pay attention to the safety of devices: they should have an option similar to “gas control” in modern gas stoves. When the appliance switches off, the gas supply must be stopped. There are devices on sale without this option, so it is better to choose ones that have it for safety.
  • “Smart”, improved traps release gas in portions, with a certain time interval - they are even safer.

There are also devices that work without cylinders. The idea is to attract insects with the smell of carbon dioxide produced through a photocatalytic reaction. A slight release of carbon dioxide occurs due to the reaction of the metal and ultraviolet rays. This amount is enough to attract mosquitoes. The main disadvantage of the device is its short range.

Disadvantages of carbon dioxide traps:

  • heavy weight, the need for constant refueling;
  • It is better to constantly monitor the operation of the device, do not leave the device for a long time unattended;
  • It is not recommended to use if there are small children and pets nearby.

A popular brand that produces CO2 traps is Dynatrap. It produces devices on cylinders and photocalytic traps, which are also distinguished by high functionality (despite their smaller coverage area).


Mosquitoes enter the carbon dioxide trap through special compartments

Propane traps

As users note, this type of trap is effective and time-tested. The principle of operation is this: propane, which is influenced by the burner, actively releases carbon dioxide. Manufacturers recommend placing propane traps at a distance of 20 meters from the terrace or recreation area so that the device does not create a barrier to people and mosquitoes.


Propane releases carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes

Let's list the main advantages of such baits:

  • in addition to mosquitoes, the device destroys mosquitoes, flies and midges;
  • there is a choice between wired and wireless devices;
  • Such traps are easy to install and use.

There are also disadvantages that will affect users:

  • you will have to buy propane often - one cylinder lasts about a month;
  • Propane is an expensive gas, but its costs can be reduced by initially choosing a low-power device with a low influence zone.

Ultraviolet electrical traps

Common people often associate this type of trap with conventional fumigators for home use. The active element of the fumigator is a plate or liquid containing a repellent or insecticide. Ultraviolet anti-mosquito traps work on a different principle - due to a special ultraviolet lamp. The device is used at home and outdoors, it is compact and easy to carry from place to place. In appearance it resembles a small lamp emitting a soft glow.

Lamp traps are safe for humans and environmentally friendly: they do not irritate the eyes and do not emit any odors.

Ultraviolet lamps work for a long time, and if they burn out, you can always buy a replacement lamp at a low price and quickly replace it.

The principle of operation is this: when the lamp is on, it emits light, thereby attracting mosquitoes. The fan in the device sucks mosquitoes into a special container. Insects trapped there die from dehydration.

Among the disadvantages of ultraviolet traps are the following:

  • To actively attract insects, the device must operate continuously. If you turn it off, the mosquitoes trapped in the trap crawl out through small cracks.
  • The noise emitted by the device makes it difficult to sleep.
  • If there is a person near the trap, it will be difficult for it to attract mosquitoes.

The following popular ultraviolet devices have similar characteristics: Stinger Indoor Insect Trap, Dynatrap DT 600, Sititek Still. According to users, traps of this type do not completely get rid of mosquitoes, but significantly reduce their number.


UV traps attract mosquitoes with light and radiated heat

Are electric exterminators effective against insects?

Electric lamp exterminators actually provide the ability to kill flying insects indoors quite effectively, as long as the device is chosen based on the size of the area that needs to be protected.

With constant updating of the bait and a small number of cockroaches, the electric exterminator-house also shows excellent results, but a significant effect of reducing the population may not appear immediately, but only after a few days.

But against ants, this electronic trap, as a rule, turns out to be not very effective, since it destroys only working insects that are looking for something to profit from, while the queen in the anthill actively continues to lay new larvae.

It is also necessary to take into account that if there are a significant number of midges, for example, on the veranda in the evening, even a very powerful lamp-based electronic exterminator will not be able to cope, and you will still be bitten by mosquitoes - in this case, it can be useful to combine electronic exterminators with repellent drugs or products, for example , anti-mosquito coils.

Bedbug Executioner: reviews, product description and instructions

As for electronic fumigators, in general, they do a good job of their main task, destroying flying insects indoors. And if you turn on this fumigator in a closed cabinet, it can help get rid of not only moths, but also their eggs. But fumigators most often have almost no effect on house ants, fleas, cockroaches and, especially, bedbugs.

Scope of application of traps and exterminators

As application experience and customer reviews show, it is advisable to install destroyer lamps and electric traps in the following cases:

  • in cafes and restaurants, on terraces, warehouses, in office premises or in the kitchen;
  • on livestock farms to protect animals from midge bites;
  • at dachas and personal plots to reduce the number of mosquitoes, gadflies and other flying garden pests;
  • in warehouses to combat food moths.

On a note!

Unfortunately, outdoor traps and exterminators have absolutely no effect on cockroaches, fleas and crawling insects, even when installed on the floor. UV light does not attract them, but rather scares them.

Peculiarities

A mosquito trap can be made from a plastic bottle. It works due to the fact that insects flock to the carbon dioxide released by the fermentation of baker's yeast (but there is also a yeast-free option). Carbon dioxide is exhaled by animals and people, which is why they attract mosquitoes. But it is possible to create an alternative source of carbon dioxide by deceiving dipterans.

By the way, about why mosquitoes fly to people. They are attracted not only by the carbon dioxide released, but also by the heat. They also focus on moving objects. When a mosquito flies by and a person hears its buzzing, he hears the sound of the insect's wings - they work so quickly.

There is an opinion that the buzzing of wings is an attractive moment for individuals of the opposite sex, but for humans it only irritates them.

When a mosquito lands on a person's skin, it gently taps it with its proboscis. True, if the proboscis is examined under a microscope, it rather resembles a stigma. Raising its hairy lip, the insect carefully plunges a stiletto, hollow inside, into human skin. He uses it to feel small capillaries and suck out blood, which lasts less than a minute. But first it releases a substance into the blood that prevents it from clotting. Interestingly, he is able to swallow an amount of blood that is 4 times larger than himself.

A person doesn’t even feel the first bite in his life, but then the body reacts to the proteins of the mosquito, which it releases along with a special substance into the blood. The bite site will itch and swell. And to prevent this from happening, you just need to prevent mosquitoes from getting close to people.

Homemade devices help reorient the insect. When yeast ferments, sugar becomes alcohol and releases carbon dioxide, which is a strong attraction for mosquitoes. The bait works in nature and is considered quite effective. There are several ways to make it, but all require the simplest plastic bottle.

What is necessary?

Baker's yeast is the most popular ingredient in all kinds of mosquito traps. Due to efficiency, availability and low cost.

To make a trap you will also need:

  • plastic bottle of any color with a volume of 2 liters;
  • warm water in an amount of 200 ml, at a temperature no higher than 40 degrees (at higher thermal values, fermentation will stop);
  • 50 g granulated sugar;
  • 1 g baker's yeast;
  • black cloth or paper (opaque), you can also use aluminum foil.

To get rid of other pests, yeast is replaced with honey, jam or small pieces of fruit - something with a more pronounced smell.

A trap wrapped in a dark cloth or foil successfully disguises what is hidden inside it. Mosquitoes are deceived because the trap has no light and seems safe to them. When they fall into a trap, they try to climb up, but the narrow cone-shaped hole will not allow them to do this. Sooner or later, insects will fall into the water and die there.

One trap works from 4 days to a week. Until all the sweet element is converted into alcohol by fermentation. Then you can leave the bottle, but the bait will have to be changed (the old one becomes ineffective). If it is a trap for other insects and there is jam or honey inside, it will be used continuously for 2 weeks.

Manufacturing technology

There are several options to consider. The first is more common, using yeast.

With yeast

The plastic bottle should be cut along the perimeter of the circle so that the top with a cone-shaped figure is approximately one third of the length of the container as a whole. The water is heated to 30 degrees (maximum 40, but definitely not more, otherwise the yeast will die and will not work). Sugar is added to the water and the mixture is mixed. Then the yeast is sent there, and everything is mixed again.

The mixture, which will attract mosquitoes, is poured into a bottle. The part cut off with the neck is inserted on top. If it turns out that the joints do not fit tightly enough, you need to take tape or any adhesive tape and seal these areas. Carbon dioxide should have only one way out - a narrow neck. Otherwise, mosquitoes may collect on the outside of the plastic bottle.

Next, you need to wrap the bottle with dark cloth or paper. The density of the materials is not so important, the main thing is that they make the object dark and impenetrable. The material is fastened at the edges. It is recommended to place traps in dark corners of the room, veranda, garden - the place where they will be used. On the street, their use is expected to not be as effective.

When yeast ferments, sugar becomes alcohol and carbon dioxide, and dipterans flock to it. In addition, the trap generates heat, which also acts as bait. If foam is released during fermentation, it will have to be removed in a timely manner, otherwise it may block the neck. And a blocked neck means it is impossible for a mosquito to fly into the neck. The solution should be changed at least once a week, sometimes more often.

This method has a main advantage: the trap makes no noise at all, but electric analogues cannot boast of this (not all of them are accurate). The main disadvantage of the trap is the specific smell associated with the fermentation process. This is why many are looking for alternative options without using yeast. And they are.

Yeast-free

An option for a liquid that will be harmful to mosquitoes is vegetable oil. You will need 3-4 plastic bottles, 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil (the quality does not matter, it can be simpler), scissors.

Making such a trap with your own hands is quite simple.

  1. Cut off the tops of the bottles slightly below the neck.
  2. Grease large parts of the container inside with vegetable oil.
  3. Place baits in places where mosquitoes accumulate as much as possible, holes are made on the sides, and ropes are pulled in if bottles need to be hung. All this can be done quickly and easily at home.

If you want to act comprehensively, and there is no hope only for a trap, it’s time to make additional mosquito repellers. If you combine different devices, the effect will undoubtedly increase. For example, you can use bouquets of wormwood and tansy, the smell of which insects cannot stand. They do not like the smell of bird cherry leaves, fresh cloves, lavender sprigs, as well as mint and lemon balm.

If you spray a room (veranda/summer kitchen) with valerian, the number of winged uninvited guests will also decrease.

If you place pots of blooming pelargonium on the windowsills, mosquitoes will not fly into such spaces. And even simple rosemary acts as a strong repellent on them. You can set fire to pharmaceutical chamomile to fumigate the room, or take pine or spruce cones, juniper needles, or lavender shoots. These plants are also ideal for fumigation. And on the street you can throw them into the fire so that mosquitoes do not disturb your evening by the fire.

Before going to bed, you can drop a drop of camphor oil at the head of the bed - this will ensure a restful sleep without annoying buzzing. And if you dilute a little vanillin in a small amount of water and cover yourself with this liquid, mosquitoes will fly around you on the street.

A trap plus plant repellers work effectively and provide greater guarantees than using each of the proposed methods alone.

Let the problem be resolved faster, and nothing will disturb the delights of summer evenings and peaceful sleep on warm nights!

Homemade sticky bait

Adhesive tapes are an effective repellent against mosquitoes and flies. These traps can be made at home, so there is no need to buy them in a store. First you need to take care of the components for the viscous mass. It is applied to paper or fabric tapes. The glue is made from several ingredients:

Recipe 1Recipe 2Recipe 3
  • rosin – 200 grams;
  • castor oil – 100 ml;
  • sweet syrup – 50 ml;
  • turpentine – 50 grams.
  • pine resin – 300 grams;
  • wax – 10 grams;
  • honey – 50 grams;
  • flax oil – 150 ml.
  • glycerin – 40 ml;
  • rosin – 400 grams;
  • honey – 100 grams;
  • Vaseline – 200 grams.

Materials for a trap can be found in any home. It is made from:

  • Cardboard sleeve. It can be removed from a roll of toilet paper or paper napkins.
  • Thick paper. Thin ones get wet faster.
  • Threads.

The trap looks like a regular roll. It is made according to the following method:

  1. Cut a long strip of thick paper (preferably from a sheet of wallpaper).
  2. Wrap it around a cardboard sleeve to make a roll.
  3. Prepare the glue. Ingredients from any recipe are mixed together. Next, they need to be heated in steam.
  4. Pull a small piece of tape from the sleeve, lubricating it with glue.
  5. The trap is installed in the place of greatest concentration of insects.
  6. When the sticky area is filled with them, it is torn off and a new one is lubricated.

Adhesive tape can also be made in a simplified form. Ribbons cut from a sheet of thick paper are lubricated with one of these baits:

  • rosin;
  • turpentine;
  • Castor oil;
  • jam.

Next, the traps are hung with clothespins on clotheslines. When the tape becomes full of insects, it is simply replaced with a new one. You need to prepare and use sticky baits carefully. These mixtures are difficult to wash even from the skin, not to mention clothes. The second disadvantage of such traps is their fragility. Natural ingredients do not last as long as their chemical counterparts.

The simplest sticky trap

All mosquito traps work taking into account the physiology of these insects. Mosquitoes are attracted to the heat emanating from a person, the aroma secreted by sweat glands, carbon dioxide and a humid environment. To make a simple trap you will need:

  • thick paper or a piece of cardboard;
  • 100 ml castor oil;
  • 3 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;
  • 0.25 cups of turpentine;
  • 5 tbsp. l. water;
  • 0.5 cups of rosin.

How to do:

First, prepare a solution to attract insects. To do this, mix sugar with water until the crystals dissolve. Heat the mixture until it thickens, stirring constantly. Then add the remaining ingredients to the hot liquid and mix thoroughly to form a sticky and thick mass.

The resulting bait is applied in a thin layer onto paper, previously cut into strips. These homemade traps are placed on the veranda, in rest areas, near windows or the entrance to the house. As the traps become full, they are replaced with fresh ones.

DIY electric mosquito trap

Such a device requires certain knowledge in electrical engineering. The trap is more difficult to make than Velcro or bait bottles. It is crafted with one of three elements:

  • Powersave lamp;
  • a special lamp that emits carbon dioxide;
  • fan.

Store traps often combine the last two details. The carbon dioxide light bulb attracts insects and they fly to it. Then they are sucked by a fan into a gauze bag. The disadvantage of the device is that mosquitoes are unlikely to die in such conditions. Midges can even get out through the gauze. The assembly of such a trap follows the following instructions:

  1. Cut off the bottom and top of the milk/juice carton.
  2. Attach the fan to the bottom of the container. It should push the air down.
  3. The fan is connected to the wires through which the voltage will be carried.
  4. Next, a gauze bag is attached to the same lower part.
  5. The upper part of the bag is equipped with wire to form a handle (bow).
  6. The lamp socket is screwed to this handle.
  7. The device is suspended and plugged into the network.

The trap will be more reliable if you use a plastic bottle instead of a cardboard bag. It is important that it has a large diameter (volume 1.5-2 liters). Otherwise, even a warm lamp can melt it. It is made like this:

  1. The neck of the bottle is cut off.
  2. A hole is made at the bottom of the container for the lamp socket.
  3. The lamp is inserted inside the bottle.
  4. The cut top part is inserted with the neck towards the light source. The result is the same funnel as in the case of a carbon dioxide trap.
  5. The side walls are wrapped in dark fabric. This will direct the insects directly into the funnel.

A similar trap can be made from a used economy class lamp. It will work even when the general lights are turned off. You will need a high-voltage module, a AA battery and a step-by-step assembly diagram:

  1. Make 2 holes in the light bulb body.
  2. Thread soft aluminum wire through them. One end is fixed and it is spirally wound around the lamp. The remainder is removed with pliers.
  3. The same winding is made through the second hole.
  4. One of the wire ends of the light bulb is tightly twisted onto a wound aluminum wire.
  5. The remaining ends from the light bulb and wire are connected to the high-voltage module. The latter is pre-connected to the battery via a switch.
  6. A light bulb with a high-voltage winding is placed on the connected module.
  7. The upper part of the catcher is equipped with a wire loop. This way the trap can be hung indoors.

Homemade traps

If you decide to thoroughly fight bloodsuckers and show your imagination, we offer you several ways to make mosquito traps yourself.

Option #1

Mosquitoes search for prey by thermal radiation, as well as by the smell of lactic acid. But one of the most powerful factors that attracts bloodsuckers is the carbon dioxide released by warm-blooded creatures and animals. It is on this principle that the trap works, in which carbon dioxide acts as bait.

To make a trap, you will need:

  • Plastic bottle.
  • Scissors or knife.
  • Bait (half a glass of warm water, half a glass of sugar, 5 g of yeast).
  • Opaque paper or metal foil.

Manufacturing stages:

  1. Cut the plastic bottle crosswise so that the neck (cone) is ⅓ of the total length.
  2. Turn the plastic funnel upside down and insert it into the lower, cut-off part of the bottle. The insect container is ready.
  3. Mix the bait ingredients thoroughly. Make sure that the water is not above 30 degrees (otherwise the yeast bacteria will die), pour the mixture into the bottle.
  4. Wrap the bottle in metal foil or opaque paper (newspaper) so that the mosquitoes are not confused by the light.
  5. Seal the joints between the cone and the bottom of the container so that carbon dioxide does not escape from the cracks, but only from the neck.
  6. Place the device in a dark corner and happy hunting!

Important! The solution poured into the bottle will immediately begin to ferment and the yeast bacteria that absorb the sugar will release carbon dioxide, which will attract mosquitoes. If the amount of yeast and sugar is sufficient, the process can continue for more than one day.

Mosquitoes, sensing carbon dioxide, will fly to its smell and fly inside the bottle. Finding no way out, they will remain there to die. Change the contents of the bottle every 2 weeks.

If you replace the yeast with thick sugar syrup or jam, then with such a trap you can catch wasps and flies that will flock to the sweet in schools.

Option No. 2

Mosquitoes, like other nocturnal insects, have the habit of flying towards the light. They can be lured to some kind of lamp and sucked into a gauze bag using an electric fan, such as is installed on computer power supplies. The air flow created by the fan, together with the light, will prevent mosquitoes from entering the room if you hang the device in front of an open window in the room.

Advantages of this device:

  • No toxic chemicals.
  • There is no ultrasound, which affects not so much mosquitoes as humans.
  • No high voltage.
  • Simplicity and accessibility of the design.

The only drawback is the quiet fan noise.

To make the device you will need:

  • Small light bulb (from the refrigerator).
  • Wire for the handle.
  • Cardboard two-liter tetra juice bag for making a case.
  • Scissors.
  • Electric fan (from a computer power supply with a diameter of 8-12 cm).
  • Gauze bag.
  • Scrunchy.

Manufacturing stages:

  1. Cut off the top end of the cardboard tetra bag.
  2. Punch 2 holes in the sides.
  3. Pull a wire handle through the holes.
  4. Cut a hole in the bottom of the bag for the electric fan.

Important! Position the instrument fan so that it draws air down from the lamp.

  1. Attach a gauze bag to the bottom of the body using a hair tie.
  2. Tie the light bulb socket to a wire handle, bent so that you get a loop on top for hanging.
  3. Connect the light bulb and fan to the mains using special adapters.
  4. Secure the structure in the corner of the window opening or in any other place.

Operating principle:

The insect, attracted by the light, will approach the lamp, and under the influence of the air flow, will be drawn first into the cardboard case and then into the gauze bag. Clean the fan blades once a week to remove stuck insects.

Important! Instead of a tetra bag, you can use other suitable cardboard packaging or glue it yourself from cardboard.

With carbon dioxide

The most common and easiest to make homemade trap. Its action is based on the fact that the mosquito searches for its prey by the smell of carbon dioxide released by living organisms. But it’s not just warm-blooded creatures that emit carbon dioxide. Gas can be produced using yeast fermentation. Yeast, feeding on carbohydrates, releases CO₂ like humans. The mosquito flies into the trap, “thinking” that it is a warm-blooded organism. Once the insect has entered through the funnel, it can no longer get out.

On a note!

The carbon dioxide mosquito trap should not be placed near people. A person exhales more CO₂ than a two-liter bottle of mash.

Stir sugar in warm water, add yeast and pour into the prepared trap. The bottle is wrapped in cloth or paper to keep it dark inside. This trap works for a week. Then the solution needs to be replaced with fresh one. If desired, you can do without yeast, with plain water.

Review

I would not say that this is a very effective means of killing mosquitoes in the house. But the smell from the yeast is excellent. As soon as the neighbors did not complain about moonshine. I can’t say that this mosquito trap helps well, but the fruit flies in it have multiplied terribly.

Plain water

Homemade mosquito traps

The action is based on the method of mosquito reproduction. This variety will not prevent the female from pre-drinking blood. This is an outdoor trap that will help control the bloodsucker population.

The scheme for making a mosquito trap based on the principle of a pond is more complicated than just a trap with carbon dioxide. For such a device you need a large bottle in which the water will evaporate slowly.

  1. The neck is cut off.
  2. Holes are made in the bottle to drain excess water and sealed with scraps of window mesh. If desired, you can make two more holes above the first ones to attach a carrying handle to them.
  3. The bottle is painted black to achieve the effect of a dark, standing pond.
  4. A fleecy cloth is wound over the top of the cut bottle so that it also covers the inside. The top of the bottle is also covered with a window net.
  5. Water is poured into the bottle until it begins to pour out through the drain holes. The fabric is also wetted from the outside and inside.

Important!

The fabric should always be wet.

Mosquitoes, mistaking the trap for a body of water, lay eggs on the net. The hatched larvae fall into the water, but cannot escape from the trap after completing the development cycle.

Mosquitoes prefer “blooming” water, so you need to throw a bunch of grass into the trap to infect the liquid with green algae.

How to make a trap from a plastic bottle with your own hands

Controlling winged pests does not require significant costs. A do-it-yourself mosquito trap is a device of two types:

  1. From plastic bottles with bait: carbon dioxide, water or a light bulb. The device is cheap, easy to manufacture, but not highly effective. If you use yeast as a filling, there will be an unpleasant smell near the bottle. They all operate on the same principle: the insect flies into a funnel without a chance to get out of it.
  2. Velcro tapes. They are hung near a window or balcony door. The design of this device is more complicated than in the first case.

On carbon dioxide

Mosquitoes look for their victims by the smell of CO₂ - it is emitted by all warm-blooded creatures. The deception is that this gas is emitted not only by living organisms. Carbon dioxide is also formed as a result of fermentation. Yeast releases it when consuming carbohydrates, thereby attracting blood-sucking insects. This bait is prepared from three components:

  • sugar – 50 g;
  • dry baker's yeast – 5 g;
  • water – 200 ml.

All you need for the catcher are typical household items. You will need the following materials:

  • plastic bottle (1.5 l) – 1 pc.;
  • cardboard or dark fabric;
  • scissors or stationery knife;
  • scotch;
  • stapler

Having collected everything you need, you can start making a homemade mosquito trap. The bottle is cut into two parts, the smaller of which has a neck. Following are the instructions:

  1. Sugar is poured into the lower container, adding yeast.
  2. Water is also poured in there.
  3. The resulting mass is thoroughly mixed (it should foam). The permissible temperature of the liquid is not higher than 40 degrees. Otherwise, the yeast will die before fermentation begins.
  4. The neck is inserted into a container with bait to form a funnel.
  5. The walls are wrapped in dark cloth or cardboard, secured with tape/stapler. This will speed up the fermentation process, which takes place more actively in the dark.
  6. The finished device is placed where mosquitoes accumulate (next to an open window or on the terrace). If you have twine, the container can be hung indoors.

A homemade mosquito trap made from a plastic bottle lasts for about a week, after which the bait is renewed. An increased dose of yeast and sugar increases its longevity. It is important that the container is not exposed to direct sunlight. Otherwise, all fermentation will come to naught. It is also undesirable to place it near people, since the bait emits a specific smell.

With vegetable oil

A simplified version of a homemade trap. It is made from only two components:

  • plastic bottles – 3-4 pcs.;
  • vegetable oil – 4 tbsp. spoons.

The manufacturing process goes like this:

  1. The neck of the bottle is cut off - it no longer needs to be used as a funnel.
  2. The lower parts of the containers are generously lubricated with sunflower oil.
  3. Traps are placed in places where insects gather.
  4. You can cut holes on the sides by threading ropes through them. This way you can hang containers around the premises.

Outdoor water trap

This option is designed for the principle of mosquito breeding. The trap works differently from the previous two. It only helps control the population of bloodsuckers. It is more difficult to make an artificial “reservoir” than a container with carbon dioxide or vegetable oil. You will need a large bottle (from 2 liters) so that water evaporation does not affect the overall effect. Next, the catcher is made according to the instructions:

  1. Cut off the neck of the container.
  2. Make holes in the top of the remaining container. This will be a drain for excess water. The holes are sealed with scraps of window mesh. It is advisable to make two more holes higher in order to attach a carrying handle to them.
  3. The bottle is painted with black paint. This achieves the effect of a dark, stagnant pond - a suitable breeding ground for mosquitoes.
  4. Next, the container is filled with liquid until it reaches the drain holes.
  5. A window mesh is placed over the bottle.

Mosquitoes willingly flock to “blooming water”, so it is advisable to also throw a bunch of grass into the trap. This will cause the liquid to become infected with algae. The females will fly up to the pond and begin laying eggs directly on the net. It is important to keep it wet at all times - this will attract insects. The hatched larvae fall through the net into the water. They have no chance of getting back.

Electricity

Electric trap

The electric trap can be in three versions:

  • with a special lamp that emits carbon dioxide;
  • with an energy-saving “regular” lamp;
  • with fan.

In store-bought electric traps, a carbon dioxide lamp and a fan are combined. To make such a device yourself, you must have certain skills and a detailed assembly diagram.

The general scheme is:

  • cut off the top and bottom of a milk or juice carton;
  • Attach a small fan to the bottom so that the blades drive the air flow downward, and connect it to the wires;
  • Glue a gauze bag to the bottom of the bag;
  • attach a wire handle to the top, like a bucket;
  • Screw the socket with the light bulb to the handle;
  • hang up the device and plug it into the network.

This is a trap for mosquitoes and midges that fly at night. When the insects fly up to the light bulb, they will be sucked into the gauze bag by the fan. But they won’t necessarily die there, and the midges will also get out through the gauze into freedom.

A mosquito trap made from a plastic bottle and a lamp may be more reliable and easier to make. If the lamp is hot, the bottle must be large in diameter, otherwise the plastic will melt.

The design of such a trap is similar to a device with a yeast solution. But in the bottom of the bottle you need to cut a hole for the lamp socket. The lamp is inserted inside the bottle and the top hole is closed with a “funnel” with a neck. It is better to wrap the side walls with dark cloth to direct the insects to the right place. Once inside the bottle, mosquitoes will not be able to get back out. But they are unlikely to die. A lamp that produces carbon dioxide will increase the effectiveness of such a trap.

If it was not possible to kill mosquitoes using homemade devices, you should pay attention to easier-to-use means: fumigators, spirals, smoke bombs.

Review of the most popular traps

With the arrival of summer, the shelves of hardware stores are full of a variety of mosquito and midge repellents, which include repellents, fumigators and coils.

However, the effect of repellents is short-lived, fumigators are effective only indoors and require a supply of plates, and to get rid of bloodsuckers using a spiral, you will have to sit not far from it. Therefore, many land owners prefer to use traps.

Electric trap

Sticky traps

Velcro is the most common and accessible means. Strips of paper impregnated with resin are hung in places where insects accumulate, for example, near a light source. Even if it touches its wing, neither a fly, nor a mosquito, much less a midge, will be able to escape from the captivity of this simple device. This trap is especially effective against large insects - flies, wasps and horseflies.

Electrical traps

Such devices are very effective against all types of flying insects and do not harm the environment. But they can only be used if they can be connected to the electrical network. True, some electric traps can also be powered by a battery.

There are several types of electrical traps.

  • With ultraviolet lamp. The ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp attracts midges, mosquitoes, horse flies, flies and even wasps.
  • Insect killer with fan. These devices suck insects inside.
  • Destroyer that releases carbon dioxide. Such devices, emitting carbon dioxide, imitate the heat emanating from mammals, including humans.

All such traps work on the principle of generating heat, due to which insects perceive them as living beings. Each of them is equipped with a lamp protected by a fine metal mesh through which an electric current passes.

Flying up to it, insects are struck by an electric discharge, after which they die. Although the voltage applied to the grid is safe for people and animals, it is harmful to insects.

One of the inventions of our time is ultrasonic generators. They are made in the form of small key fobs that transmit ultrasonic signals of various frequencies. They can be carried with you in your pocket at all times, eliminating the need for additional protective equipment.

Traps with insecticides

Such traps are produced in the form of containers in which the bait is placed. In this case, the bait can be a liquid substance, into which mosquitoes, midges and other insects get wet and cannot get out, or it can be a toxic substance that has a detrimental effect on insects.

A significant disadvantage of such traps is their one-time use. This means that as the container fills up, it will have to be thrown away. But considering that one container can hold about 20 thousand mosquitoes, the service life of such a trap is very long. True, by luring horseflies, which are many times larger than mosquitoes and midges, this period will be significantly reduced.

Mechanical traps

This concept refers to self-made traps. The main advantage of such devices is safety, environmental friendliness and the ability to use both outdoors and indoors.

The desire to save money forced people to make their own baits in the form of Velcro and containers filled with toxic substances.

The use of electricity in mosquito control

Making a homemade electric mosquito trap with your own hands requires some knowledge and skills in the field of electricity. To make an ultrasonic mosquito repeller with your own hands, you need to understand electrical engineering, understand circuit diagrams and be able to work with a soldering iron. It's easier to make a mosquito trap lamp. We offer two methods to choose from.

Lamp insect catcher

To assemble the device you will need:

  • a juice tetra-pack with a capacity of at least 2 liters or a mayonnaise bucket;
  • light bulb with socket or flashlight;
  • gauze cloth;
  • wire/rope;
  • a small fan with a diameter of 100 mm, it can be taken from a non-working PC.

The procedure for assembling the device is as follows.

  1. The upper and lower parts of the tetra bag must be cut off; in the case of a bucket, the bottom is cut off. You need to make small holes in the side walls through which a rope or wire is pulled to attach the future device.
  2. Attach the fan to the bottom of the housing so that the air flow from the blades is directed downward. Connect the rotating structural element to the wires with a plug to connect it to the electrical network.
  3. Glue a gauze bag to the body at the bottom of the structure.
  4. At the top, make a handle from wire, to which you attach a flashlight or a socket with a light bulb.

The principle of operation of such a trap is to attract mosquitoes with light. The air flow picks up and moves the flying tribe inside the gauze bag.

Electric trap operation

When creating a mosquito trap with your own hands, you need to check the device before use. To do this, the device is inspected and the integrity of the systems is determined visually. Then it can be connected to the network. If the lamp lights up, everything works fine, you can install it indoors or outdoors.

Mosquitoes flock to the light emitted by the lamp. At the same time, the room and area should be dark. If there are other light sources, mosquitoes will fly to them. As soon as an insect lands on the surface of a lamp entangled in wire, it will be shocked by an electric current.

It is recommended to install a plastic tray under the lamp. Mosquitoes will fall into it. You can hang the presented catcher. For this purpose, the design provides for a loop. This is an effective remedy. However, when it is working, you cannot leave the lamp unattended. Especially if there are children or animals in the house.

Sticky traps

Sticky insect traps The appearance of sticky tapes against flies and mosquitoes does not give aesthetic pleasure to contemplating them in the house. But such simple devices are among the simplest and most effective traps made with your own hands. A mosquito trap can be made in a few minutes:

  • prepare long rectangular pieces, most often made from cardboard or thick paper;
  • make a hole in each of them for a rope or wire with which the trap will be suspended;
  • lubricate each tape with an adhesive mass, which acts both as a bait for mosquitoes and as a fixing component.

A wide variety of mixtures are used as adhesive mass for traps. If there is no time to prepare them, it is enough to lubricate the preparations with castor oil, turpentine, honey, rosin and hang them in places where insects are most annoying.

As flies, midges, midges and other blood-sucking species adhere, the mosquito trap must be disposed of and replaced.

Recipes for preparing sticky mixtures for mosquitoes and midges:

  • 50 ml of any sweet syrup, jam or honey, the same amount of turpentine, 200 g of rosin and 100 g of castor oil;
  • 100 g of petroleum jelly and rosin, 50 g of honey, 20 g of glycerin;
  • 150 g pine resin, 75 ml vegetable oil, 25 g honey or syrup, 5 g wax;
  • alcohol, milk, sugar, calcium dichromate, ground black pepper in arbitrary proportions.

On a note!

In an apartment or house, gauze soaked in adhesive mixtures with the addition of insecticides and hung on the ventilation holes will help you escape from mosquito attacks.

Homemade traps that you can make yourself

To make cockroach traps yourself, just familiarize yourself with several options and choose the simplest one for yourself.

How to catch cockroaches in a jar

The simplest of the homemade options is a jar trap. To make it you will need:

  • glass liter or half liter jar;
  • cardboard or thick paper;
  • glue;
  • brush;
  • scissors;
  • sunflower oil;
  • bait.
  1. Cut a paper strip 1.5–2 cm wide.
  2. Coat the jar with glue and wrap it with paper tape. It will allow insects to easily penetrate inside without sliding off the glass walls.
  3. If you don't want to bother with glue, cut a long strip of cardboard. Fold one edge as shown in the picture and hang it over the neck of the jar. Using such an improvised lift, insects will be able to get to the delicacy lying at the bottom.
  4. Lubricate the inside of the jar with sunflower oil; it will prevent cockroaches from getting out.

Use smoked sausage, meat trimmings, fruits, vegetables, sweets or kefir as bait.

Every morning, throw away the contents of the jar along with the caught cockroaches. After replacing the bait, you can safely install it in its original place.

Option two: trap - bottle

A trap has a similar principle of operation - a bottle that takes up less space. To make it you will need:

  • empty bottle;
  • paper;
  • glue;
  • brush;
  • sunflower oil;
  • bait: beer, wine, juice or kefir.
  1. Glue a strip of paper 1.5–2 cm thick cut out of paper onto the outer surface of the bottle.
  2. Lubricate the inside of the neck with sunflower oil.
  3. Pour bait into the bottom of the bottle and place it near the place of greatest concentration of cockroaches.
  4. Instead of paper, you can wrap the container with a rag, thick threads or rope to allow insects to easily penetrate inside.

This trap should be cleaned regularly, after which it can be reused with fresh bait.

How to catch cockroaches with glue

To make a glue trap you will need:

  • cardboard;
  • double sided tape;
  • bait.
  1. Apply double-sided tape in even strips to a sheet of cardboard.
  2. Place bait in the center of the leaf.
  3. Set up a homemade trap in areas where cockroaches are most concentrated.

Overnight, many insects will stick to the sticky surface. As soon as their number reaches the maximum, the trap will have to be thrown away and a new one made.

A glue trap can be made from a sheet of cardboard of any size

Poisonous homemade boric acid trap

The main component of this product is boric acid. A poison based on it leads to the death of the insect, paralyzing its nervous system.

Boric acid is sold in a pharmacy

When making bait, it is necessary to make it as attractive as possible to cockroaches using additional components.

  1. Boil chicken eggs and remove the yolks. Crush them with a fork and mix with boron powder. Roll small balls from the resulting mass and place them in places where insects accumulate.
  2. Mix boric acid powder with powdered sugar in a 1:1 ratio, then add a little vanillin for flavor. Place the mixture in lids or saucers, placing them around the kitchen.

The disadvantage of these products is that the effect is neutralized by water. If cockroaches that have tasted the poisonous bait manage to drink even a small amount of liquid, the expected results will not occur. Therefore, make sure all kitchen surfaces are dry in advance.

You can prepare bait that is dangerous for cockroaches using gypsum or alabaster mixed with flour or powdered sugar. Once inside the body, they freeze, leading to the death of the insect.

Original trap

Homemade mosquito traps The concept of the device is to attract mosquitoes with light, after which they are drawn by a fan into a gauze bag. An electric trap is accessible and easy to manufacture, but requires certain skills and basic knowledge of physics. The only drawback is that the device with a fan cannot be called absolutely silent and it runs on mains power.

You will need the following items:

  • a cardboard juice box with a volume of 2 liters or more; in the absence of containers, you can make a cardboard box yourself;
  • small light bulb or flashlight;
  • gauze;
  • wire;
  • a small electric fan with a diameter of 10 cm, you can use a fan from a non-working computer.

Detailed instructions on how to make a mosquito trap:

  1. Cut off the top part of the tetra bag.
  2. Make 2 holes in the upper parts of the side walls and stretch wire or rope through them. The fastening element is ready.
  3. Attach the lamp socket to the handle (wire).
  4. Install a fan at the bottom of the bag so that the air flow is directed downwards from the light source.
  5. Attach a gauze bag to the fan body using an elastic band.
  6. Using adapters, connect the light bulb and fan to the network.
  7. Install the structure in the window opening.

The mosquito trap needs periodic cleaning to remove stuck insects.

Method 3. Electronic trap

Making electronic baits is a rather complex process that requires certain skill and at least minimal knowledge of physics. This detailed step-by-step instruction will help you complete this task without any problems.

  • Paper packaging for juice or dairy products;
  • Wire (thick);
  • A piece of gauze;
  • Knife;
  • Glue;
  • A small fan that runs on batteries (portable or from a car will do);
  • A small light bulb or mini flashlight.

  • Make a body for the future bait. To do this, cut off the top and bottom of the juice bag.
  • Using thick wire, secure a small fan inside. The blades should be positioned so that the air stream flows downwards.
  • Cut a round piece of gauze (diameter – 50-70 cm).
  • Glue it to the bottom edge of the box. It should look like a bag.
  • Move to the top and make two holes on the sides.
  • Insert wire into them to create a bow like a bucket.
  • Attach a light bulb to this handle. The same wire is suitable for fixing.
  • All that remains is to make a loop and secure it to the handle. This part will allow you to hang the trap in any suitable place.
  • Turn on a light bulb and fan and place the bait near a door or window.

This device works very simply - attracted by the light of the light bulb, mosquitoes fly closer and immediately fall under the influence of the fan. It sucks the insects into a gauze bag, in which they die.

Reviews of homemade products

Today there are many safe, harmless to human health and the environment means of mosquito control. All of them are effective when performed correctly. According to reviews from craftsmen, there are indeed significantly fewer mosquitoes. But when using this or that, first of all you need to think about safety.

The methods presented above can be used in turn or all together. Over time, mosquitoes become accustomed to the traps. Therefore, it is recommended to change the devices periodically.
