    I’ve heard recommendations for the propane powered Mosquito Magnet type units in the past, and I recall hearing that there were some models to stay away from. I’m interested in giving it a try this year at my parents’ place. They have about 250′ of shoreline in a protected bay on about 1 1/2 mowable acre lot with an additional 5 acres wooded. There are also some lower wet spots on the property in the woods along the opposite property line from the lakeshore.
    Anybody with knowledge or experience on these units, I would sure appreciate your input on what to buy, and suggestions on how to best utilize it.
    Thanks

    Thought about a fogger?

    I have used a fogger, but some guests especially with younger kids are concerned about using it in the area we congregate. The mosquito magnet is a bit more of a long term solution also, since it attracts huge numbers of them away from where people want to be, then it kills them naturally, and since it targets the biting female mosquitoes, it prevents the reproduction cycle.

    There is an electric one that emits carbon dioxide to attract mosquitoes. It keeps them in a trap of some sort. It has a small fan in it. It is not a zapper that you have to listen to. I think it is called Dynatrap or something like that. It gets good reviews.
