Now it makes sense. Attracted to carbon dioxide, the mosquitoes expertly track both humans and animals, using trails of exhaled carbon dioxide as a guide or scent. In addition, just like most any other insect, light attracts the mosquito, making the beacon an effective part of a mosquito trap. It’s still nice to know for sure what something is, and it amuses me somewhat to learn that it was simply a mosquito trap and nothing more sinister.

Glad to finally know what this really was out there, but one wouldn’t think that Mosquitoes would actually be out with such cold weather, and you would have thought if Escambia County was putting these out; then the police, fire department and everyone involved should have known about this, and what it actually was…

Mosquito control why don’t you just come to my house and I will give you all the mosquitos you need. And on you way why don’t you bring that little white truck that you run through the communities maybe two time a year SPITTING out that very light spray that you call killing mosquitos and make the trip worth while. With the rain we have had this year we have better be gearing up for more mosquito bites and no telling what we will catch from them. I just wish Mosquito control would control the mosquitos — not take them to the Lab and play with them all day.

When I was a bored local with nothing better to do, I would take glow sticks and tie a rock to them and drop them off the end of various boat ramps.

This was nothing more than an Alien beer drop. Little green and gray men with big eyes drank the beer, while bigfoot kept a eye out. Skeeters were just a decoy.
