Wrong time of year for you guys but ....
Anyone using a mosquito zapper inside??
My small bedroom is usually pretty immune as shut off from the deck but been getting munched and there is a bjillion places to hide.

Rather not slather on repellent...happy to hear the crackle of a zapper. Any insight?
 
I was about to say I had never found one that actually worked. By that I mean never kept the mosquitos away. But that was outside. Perhaps they all would be effective indoors in an enclosed space with no wind. I have no idea.

Glad to be of help. :unsure:

They don't work mosquitos aren't attracted to the light but all the other bugs are.

Large mosquito net over the bed?

That's what the kids used to use up at camp.
 
Incense or one of those repellents that burns?

Mosquitos don’t like smoke so we’ve found these fairly useful and effective on our deck.

If not in Australia I’m sure they have something similar. Or just let me know and I’ll grab one and ship to you.
 
We have a couple dynatraps outside. They should work fine inside. No zaps, just a bit of white noise and lamp glow.

Every restaurant has a bug zapper near the ceiling. No reason you couldnt do that in your house. Most outdoor bug zappers explode the bugs and spray parts everywhere. Ones designed for indoors contain the explosion in a tray.
 
I use the transformers to create hot spots in heated floors. All I know is there are two sizes.

I thought mosquitoes were attracted by CO2. Now it gets tricky. Add a CO2 decoy source and you die. Stop breathing and again, you die.

FWIW mosquito stings can be neutralized by heat. You can buy a battery powered one from Lee Valley Tools or use a lit cigarette to heat the spot as hot as you can without getting a burn.

Yeah I use coils on the deck evenings and early mornings.
But rather not breathe it all night in a small closed room and they don't kill te mozzies.

It's both heat and CO2 they respond to - not just either ...needs to be both

SOOV works for the itch.
