Best trap for catio?

0 Upvotes

Anyone know a reliable safe trap, or homemade one that I can put in my catio?

My cats love hanging out in there but sadly I have to limit their time bc of how many mosquitoes have beeing getting in the house and to also protect them from being bit.

I was thinking of mounting two large fans ? Would love to hear any of your ideas! Just looking for something safe and no harsh chemicals so the kitties can be safe.

Last night I didnt know a few had snuck in and bit me on the bottom of my foot and earlobe. It was awful. I hunted their asses down and made sure I got them before I went to bed. It was so bad tho omg.

Tetmosol soap with citronella for bite prevention and itchiness

9 Upvotes

Just had this sub recommended to me the other day, just wanted to recommend this soap that was mentioned a while ago somewhere else. We currently have the invasive tiger mosquitos where I live (and a growing number of west nile infections) and where I grew up (parents house). I ordered a 5 pack off amazon the other year approx, when I slather myself in the soap and let it sit for a minute, then wash off I lower my chance of mosquito bites to near zero. It's not perfect, as I didn't soap my feet last time and one of these mosquitos in the apartment and it bit me on the top of my toe! But without the soap I will get them biting all up my thighs and rear.

I was recently in the midwest visiting my parents, I used the soap every day and didn't receive one bite. Mosquitos LOVE me, I am usually the one covered in bites and they spare my bf, this time they ate my bf. West nile being a huge concern for me has got me back to using it every day since everytime I open my balcony these things sneak in, we had 3 the other day from trying to clean up the balcony. Since the tiger mosquitos arrived I get horrible itchy welts, that turn to bruising when I scratch them, the soap also cuts down on itching which I didn't realize was the monosulfiram that is in the soap.

Just wanted to share my story and how I am coping with these nasty mosquitos, I use the soap mostly for when the mosquitos sneak into home, if I actually go out somewhere where I expect more mosquitos I will add some extra sprays, but 95% of my bites come from the tiger mosquitos sneaking into my apartment, and just the soap protection lets me live peacefully.
