My back yard is up against a wood line. Tons of mosquitoes, almost unbearable so I buy a big zapper so I can sit outside. Then that first year I start noticing lightning bugs, so the zapper is off. I have to watch them through a window but we have lots of them.
It’s just sad I can’t sit outside to enjoy them.
Do I have to put them in like batteries with one head first and one tail first. Then realize it doesn’t work and take them out and reverse it?
I’m going to say you are me and take that virtual gold star. That star is mine.
I know you asked for selfhost, it just didn’t seem worth it to me when I looked into it. I switched to migadu for hosting my email service. didn’t want to run my own server but now with this setup I can go anywhere and keep the same email at any time.
There are plenty of alternatives. I liked being limited by emails sent/received instead of domains and email Addresses.
Works well for me, 5 months into this setup.
I am going to build some bird houses, bat houses and I’ve seen this thing people Build fake ponds in 5 gallon buckets and put the mosquito pucks in them. Change it out every few weeeks but it’s a fake habitat for mosquitoes and it may reduce. Not sure. I’ll try some of this next year.
