I did a Google search and all the home made mosquito traps were tested and found to be pretty much useless. The only commercial trap that seems to work in from Australia and not readily available.
I am tapping the brain trust. Who knows how to reduce or eliminate the mosquitoes?
I wish I could dose the entire area with DDT but that ain't gonna happen. I really hate spraying in the house but that is better than mosquito bites. Any preferences or recommendations on brand of a can of spray that does not leave a residue on carpets and furniture?
Is there a trap that really works that I can buy? I am willing to pay the price for a good quality trap that really traps and kills mosquitoes? I don't want to wast my money on cheap UV light traps that only catch moths. I don't care about trapping any bug but mosquitoes. Kill em, die, die damn mosquitoes!

We had a trap years ago that worked pretty well. I am not sure that the smell was any better though. Are they nesting in the house, in the regular traps? Foaming drain cleaner to clear them out? Make sure you keep all the drains covered.
Outside I would bet the trap would attract more than you kill.
