West Nile isn’t spread airborne, dumbass.
That’ll keep those pesky mosquitos away!

Not a wives tale. That how mosquito traps are made is by burning a small flame of propane to generate co2 and heat. And then a small fan blows air into a net faster than they can fly so they get trapped in the bag and dry out
