Not much luck with this device... [Posted on 2007-09-06]
I ran this unit 24 hours a day 7 days a week for a couple of months and it really had no impact on the mosquito population in my back yard. The bug trap never really filled up though it did seem to catch an occasional moth, fly or other random flying bug. I can't say that it never caught a mosquito and it does catch something so I'd give it two stars. Looks like the next step is propane powered mosquito catchers. One other thing of note, unless you want to place this less than three feet from your house or power socket, you'll have to buy an extension cord.

Awful [Posted on 2007-10-05]
The product is a total waste. I thought that other bad reviews had other, more expensive catchers in conjuction with this making it not work. But really it just doesn't work. It's been plugged in for a week and it has caught 3 mosquitos, while 8 feet away there are literally hundreds of mosquitos at my barbeque patio. It is a total waste. Get something else.

Don't waste your money... [Posted on 2007-11-17]
Worthless. Provides no benefit.

I bought this early in the summer because we were having the worst mosquito season I can remember.

Having used it for several months, I don't believe it made any difference at all. Sure, there were bug pieces in the tray; but my backyard wasn't ANY more liveable.

I personally have more success with citronella torches.

I wish I had kept my money.

Maybe I'll have to fork over for a misting system...

Doesn't work - period. [Posted on 2008-03-23]
I'd echo the majority of the other reviews...this thing is noisy and makes no measurable difference in the mosquito population in my yard. I also suspect it contributed to my increased electric bill, to boot. Keep looking - there are other more effective solutions out there.

Not too useful on Long Island [Posted on 2008-11-03]
I left this thing on for 3 weeks straight. I think I caught 4 mosquitos in that time period plus some lady bugs. I'm not sure if it's a LONG ISLAND MOSQUITO that doesn't care for the blue light but they just don't seem to be attracted to it. I was still getting bitten every time I went out (when I stood still) and I did not see a decrease in mosquito activity.
