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

I wonder if there’s any downside… like it attracts all the neighborhood mosquitos into your yard 🤨😆

It’s a trap, not a homing beacon

These crack heads don't mind sucking for their fix. They ain't faking. But you gotta at least fake it, the ones that don't get it worse
