Isn't there something that emits co2 and then zaps them?
I guess I should just get a net and a hand held zapper?
Yes, there are propane powered mosquito traps that emit heat and CO2. Supposedly they are effective but costly.
They also have electric ones. They use a UV bulb and some titanium compound that releases CO2 when hit by UV, pretty neat and work decently once you interrupt the breeding cycle. Dynatrap is the popular brand I think.
Maybe you're onto something ;)
Lasers
Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?
Hey fellow smoothbrain. We take the mosquito's qi and channel it to get the most powerful laser.
