Propane is used for many different purposes, but works well for killing and managing mosquitoes. There are many devices made today by different manufacturers that use propane in order to trap and kill mosquitoes. Places like Amazon, eBay, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walgreens all sell devices by different companies. They are all usually some form of a mosquito trap that use propane.
Depending on the size of your area you are trying to protect from mosquitoes, you can get different devices that are made for smaller and larger areas. Each device will use its own propane tank, depending on the size of the unit. Some are very small that are made for camping that come with 18 or 24 oz propane containers, while others are very large propane containers, just like the ones used for gas grills.
Some mosquito traps cost as much as $1000. The more expensive units are used in the heavily wooded areas. Most of the bigger devices will cost about $20-$30 a month in propane in order to operate efficiently. Most of the devices that claim they will reach one and 2 miles really only work about 25 to 50% of it just as they claim. The more water and heavily wooded areas that you have, the more propane you will need to keep mosquitoes away. It is very costly to use devices, such as the mosquito magnet, but it beats having to put bulk spray on all the time just to go outside your home. If you live in a heavily wooded area and are considering buying a device to keep the mosquitos away, you should consider buying propane and bulk. It will save you a lot of money rather than buying individual tanks each time the run out.
The mosquito magnet is a very popular device used by many people. The mosquito magnet uses propane to attract and kill mosquitoes. I know someone who has to mosquito magnets at their farm and the units work very well for them. They have to clean out the trap every two weeks and usually get close to a half gallon of dead mosquitoes every time they do. Do you have a big farm with a large body of water, so many mosquitoes live and breed near their. It can get very expensive to keep propane in the mosquito magnet, but it is worth it as they notice a very big difference with the two devices.
The Coleman mosquito deleto system is another great choice for everyone trying to get rid of mosquito’s.
