Extraordinary
We have a 3000m2 garden
As soon as it was put into service, this device proved to be extraordinarily effective.
We were invaded by mosquitoes regularly and in the evening it was impossible to have an aperitif in the garden by the swimming pool
The same evening after only a few hours of operation
Nothing on the horizon and since nothing we quietly drink our aperitif
It's really unbelievable
Could it last
To see at the end of the season
Plus we have a lot less flying insects all day long and that's great.
It was our neighbor who told us about this system that he has been using for over a year.
This is what we can say about our experience

(wiki)Toxicity, ecotoxicity
In an animal study, octenol was shown to be:
an endocrine disruptor (it disrupts the homeostasis of a neurohormone which is also a neurotransmitter: dopamine and could be an environmental agent involved in Parkinson's disease.
a neurotoxicant for Drosophila Drosophila melanogaster used as an animal model
a cytotoxic (in the laboratory); for human embryonic stem cells and for murine leukocytes according to Gorham and Hokeness, 201227.
In 2013, Inamdar et al. have shown that it exerts its toxicity by negatively interfering with dopamine homeostasis.

I had seen a report where he created a barrier with CO2 traps that seemed effective for customers inside the barrier ...
We learn about it every dayIts sting, which gives a burning sensation, has earned it the name of “brûlot” in French-speaking Canada1. In France, they are sometimes mistakenly called “chiggers”. They have many nicknames: in the South of France we find names taken from Occitan "arabis" or "alambis" 2 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae
This is the story of two childhood friends - “we've known each other since we were 6 years old! - who grew up in the Camargue, a region infested with mosquitoes. At thirty, Pierre Bellagambi and Simon Lillamand, decided to join forces and tackle this scourge. They designed an anti-mosquito “terminal” called Qista, according to an innovative and clever principle.
The terminal is a decoy. “It will simulate human respiration with CO2 and an olfactory decoy. This will indicate to the female mosquito who is looking for a warm blooded meal that there is someone biting inside. She approaches and in her race she gets sucked into a net ”, explains Simon Lillamand. An ecological way to stop their crazy reproduction: a mosquito can lay up to 200 eggs in 48 hours.
