I read there were genetically modified mosquitoes that only bred males. Is that commercially available? What about that laser that zapped roaches, has it been improved to zap mosquitoes too? Maybe there is a guide somewhere on how to build a DIY Anti Mosquitoes Air Defense System?

    I have a Dynatrap XL set up in the back corner of my back yard. It’s electric, so you plug it in and run it all season 24/7. Collects them in a cage where they eventually die. You need to empty the trap a few times per season which is gross and I hate doing it, but the trap is super effective. Allowed us to enjoy our back yard the whole season. Even during twilight when the bugs are normally at their worst.

        I believe we found some moths in there as well. Notably I don’t recall seeing bees in there.
