Mosquito Magnet MM3000 Liberty Mosquito Trap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two Liberty units a year ago - one died almost immediately with a fan failure, and the other just died recently for some unknown reason (it won't complete warm-up cycle). Warranty is out, so these look like they're going to be collecting dust in the shed until I feel like taking them apart and trying to figure out what is wrong.
There's a much easier way to control mosquitos. Get a bunch of five-gallon buckets, put three gallons of water in them, add some dish soap, and finally spray some WD-40 on the water. Mosquitos will try to lay their eggs in the water, and will get stuck because the WD-40 breaks the surface tension on the water. The dish soap will take care of any larvae that do manage to hatch. Place the buckets around your property (high enough so that your dog doesn't drink the water - won't hurt the dog, but will give it diarrhea from the soap) and check them from time to time. You'll be amazed at the number of mosquitos that get caught.

The Mosquito Magnet is the only mosquito trap with patented Counterflow Technology that will significantly reduce the mosquito population in your yard.
Constructed of stainless steel and covering one acre, the Mosquito Magnet Pro is ideal for golf courses, restaurants, and resorts, as well as large backyard environments.
How It Works

Will the Mosquito Magnet capture bees, moths, butterflies, ladybugs, or other beneficial insects? No. Blood seeking insects have receptors in their maxillary palps (mouth parts) that sense carbon dioxide. Non-blood seeking insects, without these receptors, are not attracted.

Is it possible to dramatically reduce the biting insect population in an area? Yes. 90% of the mosquitoes biting you live within 100 yards of where you are. The other 10% are brought in by the wind (most mosquitoes do not migrate). They cannot detect your carbon dioxide beyond 100 yards. As the females are trapped, the generations are eliminated, thereby interrupting the breeding cycle in that area. This usually occurs after 4 to 6 weeks of continuous use.
How many mosquitoes can I expect to capture? The quantity of mosquitoes caught varies greatly, depending on your region's infestation level and how it is placed on your property. In tests in the Florida Everglades (high infestation) 1,500 were captured in one night. In more urban areas, catch results may be much less. A good yardstick is "Am I being bitten?"
What maintenance is necessary to keep the Mosquito Magnet running effectively? The propane tank and octenol cartridge should be replaced every 21 days. We recommend having a full tank on-hand to swap out. The mosquitoes will quickly repopulate if the Mosquito Magnet is turned off. The net should be emptied when it is half full.
What other fuel can be used to run the Mosquito Magnet? Any combination of propane and butane can be used, including pure butane. Natural gas cannot be used.
Is the Mosquito Magnet cost-effective? Yes. Estimated propane costs are $10 - $12 per month. The Mosquito Magnet Liberty consumes about the same electricity as an electric clock.
Is the Mosquito Magnet quiet? Yes. The only moving part is the internal fan, which is virtually silent.
When can the Mosquito Magnet be turned off? The Mosquito Magnet should run continuously to catch both day- and night-biting mosquitoes until the temperature is consistently below 50º F.

Mosquito Magnet MM4100 Patriot Mosquito Trap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Tried this thing for 3 months. Didn't even catch enough mosquitoes to fill the bug trap. When I first bought it I had an exterminator at the house that was spraying for clover mites. He immediately commented "those things don't work". Guess he was right.

Enjoy your yard without the pesky nuisance of mosquitoes with the easy-to-use Mosquito Magnet Patriot--just plug it in, push the button, and relax. Designed for homes requiring up to 1 acre of protection, the Magnet Patriot is scientifically proven to effectively reduce mosquitoes and biting insects from your yard.
Mosquitoes and other biting insects use the long-range attractant carbon dioxide (CO2) to locate people. Once in close proximity, mosquitoes use short-range attractants such as scents emitted from the skin, to determine which person they are going to bite. The Patriot mimics a large mammal using Mosquito Magnet's patented Counterflow Technology to emit a precise plume of CO2 (converted from propane), heat, and moisture that's combined with an additional attractant--Octenol or Lurex3--to attract the biting insects to the trap. Once attracted, they're vacuumed into a net where they dehydrate and die within 24 hours.
The Mosquito Magnet Patriot comes with the Octenol attractant, an EPA-registered secondary attractant that mimics human breath. Octenol attracts most mosquito species, including salt marsh mosquitoes, as well as no-see-ums and black flies. Those who live on the coast or northern regions of the U.S. should use Octenol to attract mosquitoes, no-see-ums and black flies. For southern regions and Hawaii, the patent-pending Lurex3 attractant is a better choice--particularly at attracting the Asian Tiger Mosquito--and is available for separate purchase.
Through proper placement upwind, the biting insects will be drawn to the trap, thereby reducing the chances of you becoming their target. The heavy-duty plastics and marine grade metals make it ideal for any harsh environments.
The included 50-foot, 12-volt power cord allows placement away from the family area yet near the mosquitoes' breeding and resting areas. Lawn clips are provided to help secure your power cord. For optimal results, run your trap 24 hours a day in order to break the breeding cycle of the mosquitoes in your yard. Your trap will begin working immediately with noticeable results in 7-10 days. Allow a 4-week time frame to see significant results.
An included CD-ROM provides key information for getting started, providing everything you need to know about how it works, optimal trap placement, maintenance, storage and warranty information. The keys to success are trap placement, utilization of the correct attractant for your area and routine maintenance. For optimal catch rate, you'll need to change the propane tank and attractant every 21 days.

Blue Rhino SV3100 SkeeterVac Mosquito Eliminator, 1-Acre Coverage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well engineered and easy to assemble. Am confident that there won't be rust or weathering issues.
Bought and am using it now with success. Items that might be useful to your purchase decision are propane (16 days to replacement ($19.60 per tank)), supposed to replace tak-trap (approx. $8) also, plus every 30 days the manual suggests replacing the octonal (fine tune) at $17 each, making the monthly price you will be bitten by is approx. $35 per month in maintenance. Its worth it to us, but with an 8 month season (Florida), it isn't cheap. We find it useful to purchase two tanks and get refills both at once to cut down on tank transfers.
Have tipped it over once (backed into it with the golf cart quite fast) and it broke the plastic retention and cover holder into about three pieces and with some super glue, repaired it and it still works.
You'll also need zappers to be rid of flies and other insects since it doesn't seem help with them.
You'll hear some fan type noise but negligible if over 20' from unit.
All together, satisfied with its operation.
