With recent scientific advances, experts have gained a greater understanding of mosquitoes and their bites. With this understanding has come the development of many mosquito repellants, however, some of these products are better than others. Here’s a quick look at the various mosquito control products that are currently available:

Mosquito trappers

A mosquito trapping device typically uses carbon dioxide to attract mosquitoes to its fan mechanism, which then sucks the mosquitoes into a collection bag. While this system seems to work well for small populations of mosquitoes, it isn’t very effective for South Florida mosquito populations. In addition, these systems often cost much more than most people are willing to spend on mosquito control.

Ultrasonic devices

If you’re looking for a more inexpensive option, you can consider an ultrasonic mosquito control device. However, though these systems claim to repel mosquitoes with ultrasonic tones, they’ve had very limited success.

Bug zappers

A bug zapper uses ultraviolet light to lure insects into a trap, where they are promptly electrocuted. While bug zappers attract mosquitoes, they also attract a whole host of other insects. Many of these insects eat mosquitoes, and their elimination can cause the total numbers of mosquitoes in an area to rise.

Misting systems

Misting systems kill and repel mosquitoes by emitting a combination of natural and synthetic insecticides at pre-set intervals. The misting system from Platinum Mosquito Protection, for example, can be set up to protect any property under any conditions. You’ll find that misting systems are reasonably priced and can effectively accommodate your mosquito control needs.
