Should first world countries stop using electric cars because poorer countries don't have stable electricity?
Those who can have stable electricity and can afford this solution are currently left with subpar solutions.
Mosquitoes are increasingly becoming resistant to insecticide - let's not forget some insecticides' ingredients can be carcinogenic. Their effect don't last through the night. And require leaving the room for a few hours after spray.
Electric swatters or mosquito bats are a joke. You can't swat a bug in your sleep. If new mosquitoes can enter the room after the sweep, it's a futile exercise.
Let's not even talk about those repellents - chemical and electric. In my experience, they don't work.
BTW, an electrified mosquito net is not a high tech solution. Just a marsh of two existing solutions - mosquito nets and electric swatters.
The bait is the human in the cage. So it's guaranteed to work.
I hope there's some else can answer my original question.
- wild_preference 8y agoIt amazes me how rare window/door screens are across latin/south america, and I’m sure other parts of the world that need them the most. I live in Mexico where people will have a mosquito racket in every room, holding one in their hand while they watch TV, yet keep their windows and doors open for air (and mosquito) circulation. Even in Guadalajara. The first thing I do when I move somewhere is buy some cheap screen-window kits.
