You can definitely find standalone outdoor electrical outlets that run on solar or battery power, perfect for your mosquito trap setup. Attaching it to your shed sounds like a smart plan to get power without needing to fully wire the shed.
I've had a similar situation, and I found a solution through this comparison site that helped me find affordable solar providers quickly and easily. It saved me a lot of time and hassle.Leave a comment:

Here's an easy one for you that won't cost you a cent.
Move the trap close to an outlet it will still trap those pesky skeeters.Leave a comment:

IMO most are expensive (even the systems that you can build) and barely provide the kWh advertised. They will more than likely fail to work much sooner than advertised.Leave a comment:

Hi I think I may have something that can help.
I have an electric mosquito trap that I would like to install in my back yard. I have no outlets in the vicinity of the location where I want to put the trap. I've been searching for some sort of solar or battery powered outlet that I could place in the back yard and plug the trap into. It uses about the same amount of energy as a 40 watt light-bulb and would run 24/7.
Is there such a thing as a standalone outdoor electrical outlet? I have a shed in the vicinity that is not wired for power. I was thinking I could attach the outlet to that and plug in the mosquito trap there. So is there any way to get a little electricity back there without completely wiring the shed?
Best wishes,

up out of the ground for protection. Not much of a job for an electrician to connect the ends, with a GFI outlet.

Now for a bug trap, I don't think they use much power and might be possible to do for say $1000 to $2000, but you can run a real circuit for that with standard power and used for other purposes.Leave a comment:
