Hello, I was wondering if the rain catchers draw mosquitos?

I have not had an issue with mosquitoes, perhaps because my drainpipe covers most of the screen. I do not currently have a plant in the basin that can be placed over the top of the barrel.

This rain barrel helped dry out my side yard and I have fewer mosquitos than before. The planter part drains into the barrel so there is no standing water in it. (This was a big problem with the first barrel I bought!) When you plant in it, I recommend using plants that like moist soil. I really like this barrel and will be getting another this spring.

I didn't notice any influx of mosquitos. My only issue is that the barrel fills up FAST when there is a decent downpour, flooding the area around the barrel.

I live in the Florida scrub. So we always have plenty of mosquitoes everywhere. My rain barrel is about four feet from my front door, so lots of people and pet traffic. We have not noticed an increase in mosquito in that area, and I have had it for for years. I put about two tablespoons of Clorox in mine every few months to kill larva. (There are other environmentally safe products you can get at local garden centers/Home Depot/ Loews.) Little green frogs appear on the urn and in tray from time to time- they seem to help control.

Yes, it comes with a rain fly. The only thing about the rainfly is that it doesn't cover the entire screened in porch area. So, if you have things in that area, they might get wet. We haven't used it yet in a rain storm, so not sure of the severity of the rain getting in. But our first nights in the tent were great!

We had a very rainy and wet summer here in Georgia. Not quite like Thailand but still had plenty of mosquitoes (more than normal). I used the patches and spray because spray didn't work by itself. I had very good results with the patch. Good luck, I hope someone can help more.

This comes with the Rain Cover. All Cameleons do not come with Mosquito Nets anymore. It's now an option!

Not sure; Tucson doesn't get many mosquitos. I haven't seen any; perhaps it is working:) This product is truly amazing and inexpensive; it is definitely worth a try:)

There are two kinds of attractant for mosquitoes. Make sure you get the correct attractant for your area or part of the country and you should be good to go.

Where I live we normally don't have many mosquitoes, but this year for some reason we have quite a few. None get thru the screen. By the way, just yesterday I was looking at the screen on the porch and thinking to myself it's one of the best investments I've ever made. It's now over a year old and still looks as if I put it up yesterday. It looks bran new. Not a mark or ding anywhere.

As the fans push air, the mosquitos are carried with that air. Only the sharp edge of each blade has a chance to make any impact. And that edge is quite thin. It is a nice thought that a rare mosquito could get sliced that way. The odds are much higher that the net will catch them.

The rainfly does NOT protect the screened area. The screened area has walls that are angled outward and, as you can see from the photos, the rainfly only extends to the very top (and does not cover the sides) of the screened area. Thus, rain water easily enters the screened walls that are left unprotected by the rainfly. The end result is water in the screened portion of the tent. I have contacted the manufacturer to inquire about a possible addition of a rainfly specifically for the screened area, so stay tuned...

Because moving air has been proven the best way to keep Mosquitos away the answer is yes, to a point.You have to be in the area that is covered by the fans moving air. Chancy at the edges.

Insects are attracted to it. You will draw the insects to the house. I do have mine close to the house because I have a pond close by. I placed it between the pond and the house. It is about 5 to 10 feet from the house and always worked well. it stops the bugs coming from the pond, mainly mosquitoes. The units I received didn't work but I managed to fix it. By design, it isnt as effective because the insects have to fly between the 2 screen pieces of the grid. I then purchased a flowtron unit which has 2 pieces, but they are intertwining pieces which means that the bugs only have to fly through one grid area to be killed.

They are wire framed with a treated paper balloon covering it. Yes, rain and summer sun will deteriorate this quickly- when I bought them, they came 2 to a pack. I hung one on the lowest branches of a cedar tree with a southern exposure and a cherry tree with a northern exposure. They were out in the wind and rain and salt (I live on the bay) and they lasted from the summer into the fall. I must say, they really did drive all of the large, flying insects out of my yard. I also have a a Mosquito Magnet running all summer and between the two, we had no pests in our yard at all, from June-October. Hope this is helpful. I would absolutely purchase these again. :) They are wire framed with a treated paper balloon covering it.

I don't know about that, I just know they really work on mosquitoes for me...

I don't know ......the mesh netting is small holes, but I have no idea how small of a hole a mosquitoe can fit through.........never thought of it really

No. Smaller bugs like no see ums would get through the holes. But they work great for mosquitoes!

We tend to have a mosquito problem. We do treat our water barrels for mosquitos. It does seem to help. Maybe just a precaution.

We have had two of these for a couple years. We have never had any problems with mosquitoes. We love them - they are wonderful for the garden!
