Mosquito Blower Made From Junked Oil Furnace
 ✖  |
When working in the garden, mosquitoes and black flies are often so thick they drive me back into the house. I solved the problem by getting a blower from a junked oil furnace and making a bag out of mosquito netting, which I put over the outlet of the blower. Then I mounted the blower on a 6-ft. post and plugged it in (the blower sits inside a chunk of tire attached to the top of the post). The insects always seem to gather behind my head so every once in a while, while working, I walk over to the blower with my head close and watch the bugs get sucked in. By the end of the day, there’s about a cupful of bugs in the bag. After a few days they seemed to be thinned out over a large area. I also use the blower on my back porch at night for mosquitoes.
