It's hard to tell whether your upset about bugs or the host....

The Dyna trap emits carbon dioxide which attracts mosquitos, thus trapping them.  I'm sure it gets moths too.

But if you drive a vehicle, you're killing many more insects (a whole Ark load) that go into your grill.  Good ones, bad ones.

Now if you only ride a bicycle or a horse and buggy, then they are safe.

If a car's sole purpose was to kill insects, you'd have a point. But they're collateral damage. 

This trap is a killing device. The sole function of this device is to wipe out certain insects in a large area. Some of us are not convinced that the mechanism of action is reliably discriminating, and I personally take issue with whether wiping out all of certain types of insects in such a relatively large area is something we should be doing at all.

I understand that.  But if someone wants to decrease the amount of mosquitos in their personal space, I say it's up to them.

I'd rather that than having planes flying over dumping insecticide/pesticide/chemicals where everything and everyone is affected.  No choice in the matter and I feel it's a very unhealthy one.

I happened to flip over twice yesterday while this was being presented and both times they went through which insects this kills and which it doesn't. 

So to say they don't distinguish is inaccurate.

@Nomore They said it does attract wasps and hornets, so my question was if it attracts them I would think it would attract bees.  I passed on the purchase because of that, bees are in enough danger without adding to it.

Here's a way to prevent mosquitoes from biting you or guests when outdoors: install moving floor fans as they dislike moving air.

     @Hello @chlema, 

was not here earlier, so am just reading 'back' ref: the honey bees and ...more/ 

No, I did not have any interest of a purchase of the killing device, but also have no time to poof away answering jabber jib "stuff". 

I really did appreciate your concern (of the almost) demise of the common honey bee. 

A very huge connection of chemicals, also troubles me.

Very thought provoking statement of yours,,,,,,,,,,
