I am using this for our new patio for cooling and MOSQUITO CONTROL! will it work for that?

It is great for cooling and helps a little for the bugs but certainly does not eliminate them.

Sure, I have it under canopy on my deck. Got to clean it once a month with air compressure to blow off all dead bugs. Not sure about out in open on rainy days maybe make sure something is above it for cover. No more Mosquitos!

I don't personally do HVAC work (but I am landlord with rental houses, I have flipped a bunch of houses, and installed lots of HVAC, so I am often around it) and I would say this is at least adequate if not perfectly fine for HVAC work. It seems to be sensitive enough to tell the difference within half a degree between say, the cold concrete patio and the leg of patio furniture a foot above the concrete. I think you would be happy with its performance for HVAC work.

I haven't used it for that purpose - just for cooling down rooms once it starts to cool down outside. Sorry I can't be of more help.

That would work OK but it would work better if you attached it to your shower head for more direct cooling. Place under the water spout and get a cool mist spray pattern.

I don't know what you are planning to use it for; I bought it to use on the vents of my air conditioners; it keeps stink bugs from making a home in my ac. You shouldn't use any other kind of screening except this one. So, what I can tell you is it blocks the stink bugs and any other bugs, but the ac works completely fine; it is not overworking itself. I hope this answers your question. But, if you read further down it will say that it blocks 70% of the sun's heat. I hope this helps you.

Because moving air has been proven the best way to keep Mosquitos away the answer is yes, to a point.You have to be in the area that is covered by the fans moving air. Chancy at the edges.

I would say probably not very well if your garage gets that hot. This isn't an air conditioner, it's just a fan so if you want something that can cool down a garage that hot, this isn't the fan for you.It will probably feel like the hot air is just blowing around your garage.

That will work fine. It's not and overly powerful unit. I have it under my porch eave to keep dogs warm

Your best defense indoors is an electric fan. Mosquitoes are not good upwind flyers

Yes, but it works better on a patio that is somewhat sheltered. We have ours on a patio with 3 walls and only one side open and it works very well. It helps to turn it on before going outside. It gives the trap time to get the ones in the area before people come out. When we move it out to a table by the pool, I think that the wind negates the effectiveness. Other companies sell large traps that run on propane for large outdoor areas. I also keep one in the house for those pesky mosquitoes that make it inside.

It's a pretty good fan. I put mine in the backyard to cool my dog when she goes out in the summer, but I'm sure it would work indoors too. And you can't beat the price

i use one at an entrance door under my carport. it is not completely open but it does exactly what i hoped it would which was to keep mosquitoes away from the door. it works great for that.

Actually that is a good question. I just opened the door on the left hand side and placed it in there. It seemed to still get plenty of air flow so it should still attract Mosquitos.

With this fan being mostly plastic construction, it would be ideal for the patio as long as it is not exposed to the elements (rain). The fan guard is all plastic and will not rust like the metal ones that also become a nighmare to remove also. Humidity is a killer for most electronics so you may not get the same life out of it compared to if it was located indoors. At the current price, it is a no-brainer.

I wouldn't recommend putting it in the sand, nor any other fan for that matter. It has a strong enough air flow to ward off small flying insects, including no-seeums and mosquitoes.

a proper response to this question - YES it will keep mosquitoes away, if you point it at them. This is a FAN, not a mosquito repellant
