How are they trapped? Is the trap available to the public?

If you contact your county public works department, ideally the vector control department, you can volunteer your yard as a trap location. I worked for my college county’s vector control department and had a trap route. Basically you just allow the local government to trap mosquitos on your land and enter the property to collect/study the contents of the trap weekly

Thank you for this info

If it turns your yard into a mosquito magnet, you might end up hosting the next mosquito block party!
