Kill all those blood suckin' bastages, Dan!🌞😱 This is a great concept. I'll give this a try at my Mother-inlaw's house. She lives in the woods and every time I visit, the mosquitos eat me alive! Thanks for sharing the tip using the siphon tube, too... awesome!👍 Love your videos, sir!😍
GREENPOWERSCIENCE You're welcome, Dan! Thank you buddy. A bit off topic, but I've been wondering if you and Denise will be traveling up north a bit for the total solar eclipse on the 21st? Kind of a big deal. I'm taking off from work a few days. It will be 98.5% full at my home, but we are going for the whole show, so road trip!😆 Whenever cool stuff like this happens, I think of you two and your channel, Dan. Y'all take care.✌
Tadpoles of some species of frog work, tadpoles of other species of frogs do not. Not all species of frog have omnivorous tadpoles; some species have tadpoles that are strictly vegetarian.
I agree, these eat anything. If you place your hand in the water, several hundred start nibbling at you. Sort of cool when they are cleaning dead skin etc. but becomes creepy when the pinching feeling starts.
another solution is to have a bucket with stagnant water, have a net on it, a rock at the center to go into the water while aaround it has a bit of gap from the water and net, the mosquitoes lay their eggs and go though the net, when the larva get bigger it cna not pass the net and get stuck. I saw that once online but can not find it now.
Fantastic idea Dan! I've used your mosquito fan/vacuum idea in the past, it was great, but this is pure genius. From what I understand, the water in the reservoir stays cool, yet the mosquito larvae are dumb enough to swim up into scalding hot water? Sounds like what hydroponic reservoirs need. We currently use mosquito dunks, but if this idea works, we wouldn't need to keep buying those so much anymore. Will the larvae still swim up into the hot water if the entire tank of water is kept in the dark? Regarding tadpoles being omnivores -- we've got Pacific Tree Frogs up here in the pacific northwest and their tadpoles don't seem to do anything to mosquito larvae. So, not all tadpoles are omnivores like the ones you've got.
Hi Dan, I'm curious to know why don't larvae realize that the shadow they are going to is way hotter than the sun they are avoiding!! It is such a great thing, but I can't help wonder why!! Keep up the good stuff!
The entrance is the same temperature as the basin/body of water. Once they enter and go up they try to surface when the water gets hot. Usually they dive to the bottom with from exterior movement but go up for air when physically stressed. Most figure it out and dive but they are usually zapped by that point. With this setup you will see many swimming erratically on the bottom and can no longer surface.
Dan I have idea on a fiber optic cooker it uses fiber optic at your focal point you can run them to a single point I am betting you can hit thousands of degrees if you get enough of them.
If I was in my back yard like you are, I'd look like a welted up raspberry from all the mosquito bites. I just got a huge gutted porta cool that I'm turning into a fan mosquito catcher you detailed in another video. I'm also trying this next. I also have an ongoing experiment that uses stagnant water as a trap. I hope to post a video of it.
I remember (a sad time of ignorance) when bats were wrongly vilified with an association to "evil" things that lurked at night and thus killed with reckless abandon. It's nice to see that time and education have reversed that mentality and people now recognize their value and beneficial function.
Fahad Hossain lol...true but it also has not been proven that it was a bat sourced virus as opposed to escaping the lab and it is also not even the bats fault that humans caught a 3rd entity virus that they had simply because they are being captured and consumed by an over-populated society. The bats remain innocent victims in all this still.
Suddenly I need a beer (bottle). Thanks for this. Also, as long as you learned how to pronounce Fresnel (fruh NELL), you may as well learn how to pronounce Torricelli (tor uh CHEL lee).
Because the current will just pass around them. Charging water would go from electrode to electrode or electrode to ground. They are basically too small.
I'm still curious about a revolving net setup. Might havest insane amounts of bugs if done well. May not even need a bait that atracts them for far away. Time to start a bat farm. Too bad they only hunt at night.
They are awesome to watch and impossible to get good video of because of the low light. I made a bat box that was in place for 7 years before the tree post fell. They never moved in but loved an abandoned house up the road:-) Not sure where they spend the day now but there are at least 100 at twilight .

Thank you for the awesome comment!
This is a slower process so the results are not as dramatic as the fans but does work.

Mosquito once bite me suck my blood. I am a vampire now!
swim towards the dark.
I wish Dan was my uncle. I'd always be around learning and helping with awesome experiments and projects.
way cool Dan.
Clever. Very Informative. Your Verbal instructions and visuals are very helpful. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
another great idea, thanks for being a good rather than evil genius.

I love all your videos, thanks for posting! And question, how do you kill mosquitoes inside the home?
Dan I have idea on a fiber optic cooker it uses fiber optic at your focal point you can run them to a single point I am betting you can hit thousands of degrees if you get enough of them.
Won't veg. oil in the water keep the bugs from flying away?
Nice job, Dan. I'm impressed! Never seen this method before. How did you learn about it?

What do you think of mosquito dunks?
Bat boxes are WAY more efficient.
We have several hundred bats in our area. They help.
Dragon flies arrived a couple of weeks ago and the "skeeters" just almost vanished. Still out there but not nearly as bad.

Thats cool. Thanks for the vid
Genius!
Cool thanks
why not *charge* the water, add a timer and zap 'em
Because the current will just pass around them. Charging water would go from electrode to electrode or electrode to ground. They are basically too small.

good idea, skeeters hunt at night. bats are cool. what can I raise that eats fire ants?
cool
Bugzilla!
Plzz release a shit ton of tadpoles in your area.
Feed the cooked larvae to fish!
He's an Ironman?
Why are you harvesting and killing again
Its better dont have any stagnant water around
