Do the flies kill each other fighting for them?

Just how does it work? I hear there are thousands of those socks and at $5 a piece (wholesale). We could afford that home warranty they call me about 6 times a day.

They do stop calling, don't they?

Well plan to follow!

These are the best I've found. I placed them about 30' from each side of our deck and they made a huge difference. They worked so well that I even had them bore electric over to a couple of posts that I mounted these on. I empty them every few weeks and they are full of dead mosquitos.

If you want to go organic you could buy about 10 praying mantis egg cases.

After two years my mother's house went from impossible to damned near misquito free. This is not an overnight solution though and bug spray/poison kills them just like anything else.

On the positive side though they eat all other bugs including aphids, mosquitos, and dog dick flies...

How about those tiki torches?
