Mildly poisonous isn't going to cut it around here. |

more likely to just make them drunk and belligerent |

Hey, his name was Alan, and it didn't work out...[-] |

That's an hour of biting before they bite the dust. Can't you just shoot them with a laser while they're drinking? |
|

if you find a way to fool them into feeding on something that isn't alive I can think of a few researchers who would nominate you for sainthood. I must point out that the blood meal is a one shot-do or die type situation for the skeetes; they are like blood seeking super ninjas. (at least the ones who feed on blood. there are species of skeeter that do not feed at all, as adults) |
|

It's only one of the sexes that sucks the blood too, if I
remember correctly. Or
wait, maybe thats fireflies and light. Or hippies and
love.
Hard to remember
the differences. |

Anyways, WcW, Really? They are bugs, man. Surely they
can be lured into a cage with fresh delicious gleaming
blood and burned alive, at
the very least. The issue is money and personal safety,
not what color belt the freaking insect wears. |
|

Your method is quite simple, [Voice], to lure them with
CO2 and subsequently poison them. I agree with [WcW]
in that they probably won't eat the poison. Lure and
burn, lure and burn! |

This could work. (+)
I climbed this mountain once and it was too dark to set up a tent when I finally found a spot to camp, somewhere near mosquito Mecca, so I pulled the sleeping bag up and over my head and slept inside of it.
I never got bit but sometimes I can almost still hear the sound of that all night droning and it makes me shudder. |

// large, warm, moving, and emit carbon dioxide.// |

On warm summer evenings near the main lake, we find that
the second junior underbutler fulfills this role admirably. |

They aren't drawn to spilled blood and if the blood comes to easily they will not feed. This is due to the fact that their bodies cannot handle vascular blood pressure and hooking into a feeding site where the pressure is to high (or will get to high once they introduce anti-coagulants) would be fatal. Mosquitoes are voracious but also picky, for example moving beds to 38" off the ground will deter some species. They want to feed on an animal resting prone so they are less likely to be interrupted. (this is my opinion, I have not asked them) |

A similar idea of a similar name would be a kind of bestiality, I suppose. |

Can’t you just leave the car running? |
