Outdoor fan, with a mesh in front of it, will capture so many mosquito's.

Depending on where you live and how dangerous the mosquitoes are, there is a tradeoff with also unnecessarily killing many other flying insects. On top of that, mosquitoes are an important food source to other animals and they are also pollinators. So I'd only go with this solution if the mosquitoes in your area spread diseases.

What's your problem with mosquitos?

[โ€“] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mosquitoes are absolutely vital for the ecosystem, it would take a long time for nature to adjust to a gap if they all disappeared, but when people are living in vicinity to mosquitoes it can be unpleasant, and a health hazard

So negative, why so negative about mosquitos? You know you can block posts from this community if you want. Being so negative about mosquitos says a lot about what kind of person you are.
