This wiki has been updated 23 times since it was first published in November of 2018. Mosquitoes are not only incredibly annoying, but they're also dangerous, as they can carry harmful diseases, including West Nile and Zika. You can take back your yard with mosquito traps, which come in a variety of models that generally use either UV lights or CO2 to draw these bugs in, then eradicate them. For the best results, utilize a trap in conjunction with other reduction strategies. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.
