I was actually thinking about it for population control because it could be running almost constantly. And energy wise, I'm not really concerned. I'm on solar+batteries, and anything I can do to prevent juice going to HECO is worth it to me.

If you want population control, just get some buckets and put some water and a mosquito dunk in them. The mosquitos will be attracted to the stagnant water but all the eggs will get eaten by bacteria.
