Southwest District Health just stopped up and put out a mosquito trap. Although we don't have many mosquitos I thought it would be interesting to find out what kind we have. The black can is filled will dry ice to mimic human breath. It has holes in it so the vapor seeps out attracting the mosquitos. It draws them in then a battery operated fan sucks them into the net. From what I understand SWDH has not been up here this year. I'll keep you posted. They'll pick it up in the AM, then analyze what they caught.
