@@CatchCatchFish I second the diy video. I’ve been looking at these for a while as well but never pulled the trigger because of the price. Judging by the limited view of your diy it seems pretty simple. Looking forward to it if you ever get around to making it.
How big of a impact to these make? They're horrible at my place. I've eliminated all water sources on my property. I've resorted to spraying which I don't like doing. I've tried Inzecto traps, Dynatrap, Catchmaster final feed (seems to work well for non toxic alternative).
I'm from so Cal too. How long have you noticed these mosquitos? I first started nothing the bites in 2015. I didn't know what they were but thy gave a me a bad reaction. Finally decided to look them up in 2017 and found out what they were called then called the local LA county vector. I thought they were going to spray or do something. Nope I had to then look online for a pesticide called TalstarP. It worked for a while but they come back every summer starting May to November. Spraying is annoying and it doesn't last long anymore so I just a bought an electric fly swatter and used myself as bait. Id go outside, put some high white socks, and watch them come to me and kill them. I kill over 100+ to 200+. It must have made an effect because I killed over 100+ last year and didn't see them this year until August after the floods.
From the company’s german FAQ: Standard traps without CO2 cover approx. 540-1100 square feet. Standard traps with CO2 cover approx. 1100-6500 square feet. From their english FAQ: There are many different criteria that influence the catch rate such as mosquito population, breeding waters, resting places, coppice, climate, surroundings, etc. As such, it’s hard to give a reliable indicator. Depending on whether your garden has a lot of plants or not, you may need a different number of traps for the same area. But, as a general rule, one BG-Mosquitaire trap covers roughly the area of one average-sized house and garden. Mosquitoes often fly around their surroundings in search of a host, and sooner or later they will pass by a well-placed trap running 24/7.
I got MRSA from 20 bites ugh I’m allergic I live in a condo complex and they have AT&T PacBell vaults communication vaults, and they fill up with water from sprinklers, rain, etc. there’s nothing you can do except for treat it. The only thing that I found that works is cheap liquid soap poured in the holes you need to dilute it a little bit or it takes forever to get it through the little hole. You need a little funnel and you just poured and what it does it stays on the water surface so mosquitoes cannot come or go. I use the same soap on my plants to kill bugs so it’s not bad for the environment. Everybody needs to do this where there is problem drains or communication vaults to get rid of these in your area
I need to see more on that DIY design
Would like a video on your diy version if you have time to make it
Sure! I will look into it. Basically a 5 gallon bucket, with a small fan inside, and a plastic compressible vent duct to direct the air.
@@CatchCatchFish YES PLEASE! Being eaten alive!

I found out the eggs can last 2 years in dormancy! I hate these things.

DIY version looks amazing. Where did you get that top lidl? Seems 3d printed right?
Yes, 3d printed, off thingiverse. However, could probably make one out of a toothpick and plastic cutout if balanced just right
@@CatchCatchFish Got the thingiverse design name or a link to it?
@@mitchellan-ebbott7408 I think it was this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4461525
Do you know what range does it cover? I tried finding it online but I don’t seem to find anything

Have you tried octenol or lurex3 attractants?
Yeah, no luck with the asian tigers

What other magnets have you used?
👍👍
They existed in the U.S. forever. Here in the east coast we have the same type. Perhaps we can also call it American mosquitoes!
No, not forever. See the timeline here:

Those don't even look like asian tiger mosquitos
These things made it horrible to go to your patio or backyard in California. Sucks!
