I now have two of these units, one on each end of a 24' long x 15' wide covered deck. It actually may be overkill. Whatever. I put the first one up about a year ago, plugged into a timer that turns it on from 7 pm to 7 am, when the bugs are most active in our area. Our home backs up to a very wooded area with water standing and flowing through it as its a drainage area. So, yeah, a fair amount of bugs and mosquitos were present. Usually. Not any more. Throughout a fairly hot, humid Georgia summer we've experienced very few bugs or mosquitos attacking us. I've emptied the bottom container monthly -- it's been about 1/2 full each time. Going into Fall now, the bug-catching is way down, as expected. Over time it appears that the catchers have reduced the overall population. Many have noted that the lights don't seem to last long. My luck (?) has been better. The first unit has been running 12-hours a day for a year with no problem. The second a month or so, again, no problem. FWIW, I found replacement light bulbs for this unit at HD for far less than they are priced on Amazon or the DynaTrap site. Worthwhile investment to be able to use our deck virtually year-around, day or night!

We live in the northwoods of Wisco. 2 acres with alot of pines and above normal humidity levels for the past several years. We hung this on a shepherd's hook pole about 6 feet off the ground and 20 ft away from where we normally sit. Immediately I noticed the fan motor worked intermittently when the unit swung in a light breeze. As if there was a loose wire (or maybe a mercury switch that ensured level operation?) the fan just kept cutting on and off when the breeze hit it. BUT.. We have those pesky fungus gnats here in Wisco along with some effing army tank mosquitos that you can whack pretty hard and they STILL come at you. Now this thing WAS catching bugs pretty well. I went out to check it the other day and the motor was barely running at all even tho the basket was near 1/3 full of some of the worst offenders. I left it up for one more day. The next day the fan motor was not running at all. It stuttered when I was taking it down so I'm thinking it's just a loose wire. Returning anyway after no response from seller or manufacturer and after reading some of these reviews. The Dragonflies are out there picking up the slack and we are going to try something else. Back to Octenol and a new zapper. UPDATE 06-07-21 Saw them on sale $79 at a local Fleet/Farm. Decided to give it a second chance. Luckily I was able to return the first one to Amazon without postage or restocking fees. Good luck returning one now. They must have wised up knowing these things are complete junk. Bought this one on Friday. Seemed to work fine all weekend. I even looked at it through the nights to make sure it was lit up and fan was spinning. Today is Monday and I went to clean it out and the ballast was making noise and the bulb wasn't lit. It caught plenty of critters but few mosquitos. Mostly moths and small beetles. Cleaning it out right now and returning to FF as soon as I finish this update. I am done with DynaTrap. Seems to be a good design but it is becoming known fact to many that nearly ALL Chinese manufacturers vary from design spec after a few months of production to cut costs and increase profits. Search "Quality Fade." Defined by Paul Midler as “the deliberate and secretive habit of widening profit margins through a reduction in the quality of materials.” It's becoming far too common and way too OBVIOUS. Sadly importers have NO legal recourse against these shady manufacturers.

We purchased this product after it was recommended to my husband and I by two different friends who use it and love it (one lives in the city and the other in the country). We have 4 acres, but 3 of them are wooded. We tried having someone come to spray the perimeter monthly but that did nothing for our mosquito problems and I was not too thrilled with that option. We hung our UNDER our second level deck (40x12) since it said it could handle some water and rain. Our deck has no covering, so we thought that was the best placement to get the coverage we were looking for. And the area under our deck is concrete but tends to be damp because of the size of our deck. We empty it out weekly and by the second week, we have had a significant decrease in mosquitos. I read about the 6 week cycle, but this began working for us after just a few days. How I determine "working for us" - myself and my two boys are mosquito MAGNETS. They never touch my husband. Since we hung this, only one bite. That includes playing in the backyard grass and deck (where my kids are daily and I am with them if I am not working). It does not work on gnats (FYI :) I can not point to any particular change in weather that would contribute to this decrease. We have had rain, humidity, sun up here in northeastern PA. Maybe more rainy that other years. My girl friend said she has had hers for 8 years. i hope ours lasts that long! It was worth the money if it continues to perform like it has so far.

The one snag is that it’s not a UK plug so you’ll need an adapter for US to UK. BUT from the moment this was started up it started catching fruit flies and gnats. The UV light is dim and I put some yellow sticky fly catching paper in the bottom myself, but overall it’s doing a great job. One other thing is that the bulb is non replaceable which means the units lifespan is that of the bulb and I am glad I got a ‘used good as new’ as I don’t think it’s worth full price.

When buying the product it doesn't mention that it is 120V and they are selling it in the UAE, which is 220v standard.. This is completely misleading and dangerous..

Not worth the money. Does ok job catches more moths then any other flying insects. It says it covers 1/4 of an acre of land. I doubt that. Comes with a 2 pin plug so you have to buy an adapter before you can use it.

Atrapa los insectos rápidamente , se ve como los atrae

Não faz o que alega. Moscas e mosquitos continuam bem vivos. Apanha muitas traças. Muito caro para o que é.
