Are Mosquito Traps Worth It?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

May 21, 2024

Mosquito traps, like the In2Care mosquito trap, can be well worth the investment.

Mosquito traps have revolutionized natural mosquito control methods. This technology uses the Aedes mosquito’s own biology to lure the mosquito in and cover itself with a natural growing fungus and larvicide that works to eliminate it. Additionally, mosquitoes deliver the larvicide to their mosquito cohorts too. Controlling Aedes mosquitoes helps prevent diseases, like Zika and Yellow Fever.

What’s more, mosquito traps do not harm other animals or insects.

What are the disadvantages of mosquito traps?

Reputable mosquito trap brands, like In2Care, are very effective. There could be a couple of disadvantages. Since traps attract certain species of mosquitoes, it might only help to control those. If you have a species other than the Aedes, you might not get the full efficacy intended.

Another potential drawback is using mosquito traps ineffectively. If the traps are not placed in the proper places around your property, they will not be as effective as they should be. That is why Mosquito Squad of Fort Worth’s trained mosquito technicians install the In2Care mosquito traps for our clients. They will first assess your property to see where the traps are better utilized.

And finally, if you have a large yard, you might need us to install more than one mosquito trap. Two traps is pretty typical, in fact.
