How long does the the bottle of carbonated water last?
Do you just open it and leave it there?
- LinuxBender 5y agoA little more than an hour. Long enough to pull in a swarm. A 2 litter would last longer but I just get the flavored sparkling water. I open it just to the point I can begin to hear a sound.
- 101011 5y agoJust curious: do you notice a difference in the population over time, or is it one of those things that mostly just works while it's running?
- LinuxBender 5y agoIt could be my imagination but it seems like there are less of them overall. For sure when I use the disposable fly traps there are less flies overall. I can't stand seeing horses eyes covered in flies. If I were a horse that would drive me insane.

- pier25 5y agoWhat fishes eat the mosquito eggs?
- convolvatron 5y agoyou'd be hard pressed to find a fish that wouldn't like a tasty larvae
- pharke 5y agoFor a longer lasting and potentially cheaper source of CO2 just add sugar and yeast to water.
- pier25 5y agoI've found a number of systems on Amazon intended for adding CO2 to aquariums but never got around to buying any of those. Anyone tried using those for mosquitoes?
- healthysurf 5y agoI use a CO2 tank to re-carbonate my soda stream cannisters, I imagine at a slow leak rate my 10lb tank would last a long time and it's only $20 I think to refill it.
