Killing Mosquitoes With a Bug Fan
How does a bug fan work to catch insects? There are many mosquito and bug catching machines that use fans and nets to try to suck the bugs flying around into the net.
However they have used fans that were too small to do the job effectively, and because they were special purpose built they are expensive.
A better way is to use common and cheap electric fans that either you may already have, or can buy for less than $20 at most discount stores.
They blow enough air to actually catch the flying insects in the net.
You will catch the majority of the bugs at night while you are sleeping, as they will continue to fly around all night and some or most will eventually fly close enough to the fan to get sucked in.
Other bug fans on the market try to make them into some kind of decorator type appliance.
A common 12" desk top fan has larger blades, a larger motor, and more air flow than any of the purpose built mosquito traps.
It is the air flow that catches bugs, not the look of the appliance.
And you can buy fans that go up to 24" in diameter that will not only blow away the other machines out there, but will also suck bugs in from a much larger area.
You, your pets and livestock are the best attractant to mosquitoes.
A bug zapper's directions say to place them away from where you are, since the bugs would rather bite you than fly into a zapper.
That doesn't help much when you want to be outside.
A bug fan will catch the ones that come after you, while you are outside.
All you need is mosquito netting sewn into a cone shape, and a means to attach it to your fan.
If you have a kennel or stables, then mosquitoes are probably biting your animals, and possibly spreading diseases.
Placing a bug fan near your animals will catch the ones that are attracted to them, and help keep them cooler during the hot months of the year.
There are weather resistant fans that you can run outside, or you can use a standard fan placed under a roof to keep the rain off of it.
Your animals will thank you, and you will notice a reduction of bugs as you break their breeding cycle.
Make yourself a bug fan, and kill the bugs that are always going to be attracted to you and your pets.
