Here's an interesting invention. It sucks in CO2, attracts mosquitoes and when inside they get trapped. You can do a whole park with them.

Hardly an invention. CO2 mosquito traps have been available for years. They don't work very well though since for every mosquito they probably kill a hundred other flying insects thereby reducing the local food supply for bats and birds.

They were being used during the filming of Monarch of the Glen, to protect the actors and crew, 20 years ago.

Most insects are not attracted by CO2. Only blood sucking bugs have evolved to follow a CO2 trail to their prey who exhale it in their breath. Many insects including flies are attracted to ultraviolet light which is what Insectocutors use. |

It's big money, but for the proles, what mosquito protection do they get? I've been bitten to pieces in hot countries and never seen anything like this. Sure we have had those electric fly killers for as long as I've known in butchers, but these are passive devices - no electricity or anything. |

So where else have you seen these being used then? California, Oregon and most recently in the South of France.

They usually have a fan to suck the mosquitoes into some sort of toxin. You can make your own with a bottle of soda water, a computer cooling fan and some isopropyl alcohol. |

Using light to attract them is the standard way, but I have never seen the ones they have in this park. Indeed I went shopping for one a while back so I'm fairly certain this is one of those Chinese inventions. The mosquito bat is also another thing I've never seen before China started making them, although I'm sure your Google "find anything to disagree with me" machine will show a hero American in 1935 having invented it all along. |

Either he is talking shit or simply commentating on their poor performance. Over in China they say they caught 12000 in three weeks. |
