BTW, I just read yesterday that mosquitos are attracted to the
color "blue". Maybe time to paint the house orange. Also, I
believe they home in on their victims partially by detecting
CO2 emissions, for whatever help that might offer


I've seen traps, that use CO2 as bait to catch mosquitoes.  A tank emits a
small stream of CO2 which the mosquito homes in on.  She then flies into
the trap, expecting a free lunch, and cannot get out again.  I forget what
actually does the critters in, maybe dehydration/starvation.

They are supposedly used by the US Military to clear out the skeeters in
swampy areas.

I wanted to get one for my Mom, but they were well over $1000.  Maybe once
I graduate and get a real job...
