Expensive and not reliable [Posted on 2008-05-29]
Because it cost so much, I expected this thing to last, but it is junk and not reliable. I bought this unit 3 years ago. I live in the Northeast, so I only use the until about 4 months a year. As I understand, the Mosquito Magnet company invented this technology, but they certainly did not perfect it. Reliability is poor. Worked great the first year, caught lots of mosquitoes, and really reduced the number in my yard. The second summer, it started getting temperamental, took a long time to warm up, and seemed to burn more propane. Cleaning the unit with the CO2 cartridges did not help. This summer, it takes many, many tries to get it started up (6-10). I suspect it is about to die. I paid almost $500 and I only use it 4 months a year. For $500, I expect it to work right for more then one summer.
Breaks down after about 2 years [Posted on 2008-06-09]
Mosquito Magnet Liberty Mosquito Trap MM3000
We live in northern Minnesota and we get a lot of mosquitoes. The first unit worked great and we noticed a relief from these pests within a few days. We were so pleased that we bought a second one after two years. The first one lasted about 3 years, the second one about one year. The company would like us to ship the heads and last year the charge for each replacement would already have been $ 100. After spending almost $ 1000 for both units we will not spend another $ 200 for something that breaks down after such a short time. We would not recommend the Mosquito Magnet to anyone and we would not buy another one.

Thumbs up on the Mosquito Magnet [Posted on 2008-06-26]
Mosquito Magnet Liberty Mosquito Trap MM3000
We purchased our Mosquito Magnet in the spring of 2004 and it has worked superbly for the past 4 summers. We are in the hardwoods and the Magnet traps almost a net full of mosquitos in a month. We have it across the lawn from our deck and it does a good job of keeping the mosquitos and black flies away. This spring, however, the unit would not start up. The light codes indicated that it was not getting gas. I cleared all the lines through to the orifice and checked out the regulator and reset the tank valve, but no luck. We ended up sending it to an authorized repairer ($13.00 by FedEx). They installed a new igniter and it is now working great.
Repair costs including return shipping: $86.00. The mosquitos are especially thick this year, so after starting the unit up it had to play catch-up and the net was half full in a week.
it works it works well but it always breaks down and repairs are very expensive [Posted on 2008-07-01]
When this unit works it does a great job of catching lots and lots of mosquitos. Unfortunately it usually only works for one or two tanks of propane (about 6 weeks) before it has to be sent in for repair. I have had one for 3 years now and it is the same old story every year. I wish the company that built this would hire some good engineers to solve their quality problems because they might end up with a great product then, In the meantime it is an over priced good idea with very poor execution.
