FOAD, dickhead...

Go and **** yourself, ****wit child.

Certainly it's know what attracts skeeters to live critters; what's
not so clear is that the artificially-generated attempts are effective.

Corse its perfectly possible to provide the CO2, heat and
odours etc that are the same as what live humans produce.

Not w/o the same generating mechanism, no...

Wrong, as always.

there's more than just CO2

It is however the primary thing that attracts mosquitos.

and the odors aren't all that simple to generate.

They aint that hard either.

...

That means that those other devices are perfectly viable mosquito traps, stupid.

But it also means the CO2-baited traps ain't worth the extra expense

Nothing like your previous claim.

which I presumed anybody w/ the least amount of intelligence would realize is all that was said....

Never ever could bull**** and lie its way out of a wet paper bag.

Field trials for commercially available and experimental mosquito
traps variously baited with light, carbon dioxide, octenol, or
combinations of these were evaluated ...The total number of
mosquitoes and number of each species captured during the test were
compared using 8 × 8 and 5 x 5 Latin square designs based on trap
location. ... Traps baited with octenol captured significantly fewer
Cx. pipiens than those not baited with octenol. Likewise, no Cx.
orientalis were captured in octenol-baited traps.

Pity we happened to be discussing PROPANE POWERED traps.

Host-seeking activity showed a similar bimodal pattern for all species captured. ... Significantly greater numbers of
mosquitoes were captured with mosquito traps using counterflow technology when compared to standard light and carbon
dioxide-baited traps.

No reason why the propane powered traps cant have counterflow as well, ****wit child.

IOW, just a fan to suck the critters in and trap 'em was more effective than the expensive, fancy traps.

That is nothing even remotely resembling anything like what they actually concluded, ****wit child.

AND that particular study didnt even use the sort of mosquito traps that are used
in a domestic environment ANYWAY, they were SCIENTIFIC mosquito traps.

Try again.
