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.

The 'bug sucker' DynaTrap works! I like to garden and usually get eaten up by mosquitos. I'm often the only one in a group to get eaten alive. However, since the trap has been in use, I haven't been bitten once. Some things to know: The trap remains on nonstop. There's a fan that makes noise, but it's not any more loud than a small desk fan. It discharges carbon dioxide, attracting insects by mimicking human breath. The fan sucks them into the slots, then down to the basket below, where they eventually die. For that reason, it's a challenge to empty the basket, because weak but living mosquitos will invariably escape. I caught over a cup of insects in one week. The cord is nice and long, and it has to be plugged in to operate. The unit is easy to click on and off by twisting the entire middle portion. It's weather-resistant and the basket is large. This particular unit covers a 1/2 acre. There isn't any zapping, light sparks, or loud noises. Position it head-high, rather than on a low table. The one thing that I wish that I'd known is that ALL types of mites and parasitic bugs will think that they're going to a rock show. This is a beacon for the gross creepy crawlies, and it is a possibility that they will congregate and buzz the trap. Not all of them make it inside the basket, making the area outside a potential hazard! I got close to it, squinting to see what I had caught, when I saw what looked like stains on the outside of the metal basket sections. I 'dusted' it off with my hands, and it turns out that it was mites that promptly tried to relocate on me! I had never had contact with something like that before. For this reason, I would highly recommend that you situate your trap away from all human and animal traffic to totally avoid revved up insects. Prepare to generally leave it undisturbed. Highly recommended!

American 110v plug so not able to use in UK :(

Equipamento não funciona.

Nous l'avons commandé sur Amazon France et il est venu avec une prise et une tension américaines. Malheureusement :(

El primer día se atoro un escarabajo en el ventilador e impidió su funcionamiento, pero luego ha trabajado muy bien, si atrae mosquitos. Lo único malo es que no los mata a todos y cuando abres el contenedor se escapan unos.

Completa basura, el foco se fundio en menos de 2 meses, el ventilador en 4 meses. No solo eso, si no que no le hace nada a los mosquitos que hay en el norte de mexico.
