Electric mosquito traps. Insect electrocutors (bug zappers) and mosquito trapping devices are 20 th century control measures. Manufacturers modernized 19 th century mosquito trapping devices such as the New Jersey Light Trap with more improved features to increase their appeal to the public.  Numerous devices are available for purchase to attract, repel or kill outdoor infestations of mosquitoes. 

Other mosquito traps are designed to mimic a mammal (horse, cattle, man and domestic pets) by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide, heat and moisture, which is often combined with an additional attractant, to create an attractant to mosquitoes, no-see-ums, biting midges and black flies. After drawing the insects to the trap, a vacuum device sucks the insects into a net or cylinder where they dehydrate and die. No electric killing grid or pesticides are used.

 

There are several brands of very good electronic insect controls.  Check out the "Bug Zappers" below for a non-chemical insect control.  All of these electronic insect control items are enviromentally friendly, "green" alternatives.
