Mosquito Trap & Bait



There are hundreds of possible answers for mosquito problems including a few of the following:

  • Putting chemicals on yourself
  • Spraying chemicals in the air
  • Burning awful smelling candles
  • Staying indoors
  • Using Safer Natural Alternatives

The following information is from a company that produces a safer alternative to repelling and or killing mosquitoes. This should be of great interest if you want to protect children, animals, plants, wildlife, or yourself from the possible side affects of chemical repellents.


Mosquitoes are known to transmit diseases such as Equine Encephalitis, West Nile Virus and others. When they bite an animal or bird infected with a disease, they go to lay eggs and come back to bite again. It is this second bite that transmits diseases. The Oak Stump Mosquito Trap attracts, catches and kills mosquitoes when they try to lay eggs, thus preventing that second "fatal" bite.

This trap uses a mosquito egg pheromone which Mosquitoes use to mark special egg-laying places. This "locator" biochemical draws mosquitoes into the trap, but they cannot find the exit and will eventually tire and drown in the liquid.

Traps are re-useable, non-toxic, and safe for the environment.


Mosquito Repellent and Larva Killer

This repellent is naturally-based, safe, and biodegradable. Its dual action feature allows it to kill mosquito larva in water and repel adult mosquitoes for up to 8 weeks. This is an effective control that biodegrades without persistent toxic chemicals, bacterial toxins or insect hormones.

The recommended application for Mosquito Larvicide includes:

Use in and around mosquito-bearing still waters, including ponds, ditches, water impoundment, marshes, swamps, puddles and artificial water sources such as birdbaths, tires, tree-holes, gutters, cans or debris. Also for use in areas subject to tidal water, seepage, overflow, flooding, snowmelt or rainwater.

The recommended application for Mosquito Repellant includes:

Use in yards, parks, playgrounds, schools, golf courses, and other areas where mosquitoes may congregate.
