Keep Nicaragua Clean Using Ants

These little guys are not part of the gov't sponsored tidying up program, but they are very prompt and thorough. Just don't get in their way, as they can bite!
These ants are eating the casualties of my blue-light bug-zapper, which ironically drew in more bugs than I would have seen otherwise.
dont know..if true or not..
they say the bug zappers kill more good ones..than bad ones
Mosquitos/zancudos go for CO2, not light
I've had a bunch of them killed when I slow cooked something by gas at night. Also, that's part of why fans keep them off -- the CO2 from breath and skin gets blown away, nothing for the zancudos to home in on. I wonder if a plate of vinegar and baking powder inside a bottle trap would work for them.

The zapper will kill everything that's attracted to the light.
A lot of the casualties will be friendly, well, not foe anyway.
I eventually read the directions..
The bug zapper is supposed to be hung 25 feet from the house because it attracts bugs. You want to attract then away from the house, not towards it. I find it kills plenty of zancudos and gnats, but when a certain small moth hatches out it is best to turn the machine off a few days or it will plug up with moths.
My compact florescent porch lights must have been giving off co2 because they were obviously attracting zancudos, glad the new yellow ones (Sinsa) don't. Bugs don't like them at all.
PS Hang the bug zapper away from walls so the geckos don't jump over and get zapped.
