DT160 1/4 Acre Mosquito Trap & Flying Insect Trap – Kills Mosquitoes, Flies, Gnats, Wasps, & Other Flying Insects – Mosquito Zapper & Bug Zapper Outdoor Alternative – Black

The product is super easy to use. There is no on/off switch. Just plug it in and it works. I have it plugged into a Kasa SmartPlug that I have set on a timer for night time. I keep my window open at night to get fresh air coming in. I don't have a screen. The mosquitos were eating me alive until I got this. The only problem I have is it kills moths. I don't have a problem with moths. The moths fly in then fly out. The mosquitos population has gone down since I got this. I didn't need to use is last night because it did it's job. The bottom unscrews and the part with the flaps comes off. I dump it out the window or I dump it on my fly trap.

Arizona might be know for our hot temps but in the summer - especially when we get a good monsoon season - we get our fair share of mosquitos. And no matter how consistent you are with your screen doors they get inside the house - and with house plants about they have their chance to multiply… PROS: Simple light attractor - airflow spring loaded trap mechanism when shut off and no expensive bait needed. Moreover this unit is great to actively control those munching moths that are so interested in eating anything wool as well as No-See-Ums. With Mosquitos and No-See-Ums now being considered a vector of viral infection on top of pesky, pervasive piranha of the skies … this unit does a good job at all three of these pests - especially indoors. CONs: Out of doors - even if run with a timer for evening use only - the trap needs to be emptied - if not it can trap so many moths that the trap might not totally close when powered off. True to their copy the unit last about 3 years - where the failure turns out to be that they will not sell you a replacement bulb - so the attractor dims and its effectiveness in equal measure over that time. If they were more environmentally attuned company - they would consider the importance of NOT needing to buy new units and allow for the sak,e and replacement of the light - and if and if needed the fan motor. That said with the price (mostly due to market competition) now roughly 1/2 that of when we first purchased our first unit - they’re an even better investment than they were at first!

The trap functioned perfectly and I set it up on my lanai in south Florida. Unfortunately, after being plugged in continuously 24 hours a for a week, not one insect was trapped. Zero. With the liberal return policy at Amazon, I returned it for a full refund.

I have other brands of "skeeter suckers" as I call them. The lights on the other ones are brighter and seem to catch more skeeters. The UV light on this one is dim in comparison. Not sure if this is normal. I will keep the thing but hold onto the box in case it fails. Lower the price $10 or more. Now The light bulb does not work. Need a replacement bulb. Ordered June 18th from Amazon. Please send a new bulb. Other than that, it works great.

Mosquitoes aren't attracted to this trap. I even tried mosquito lure bait and the mosquitoes just aren't interested except for the lone one that gets too close and sucked in. The mosquito love my black colored puppy which makes me think they camp out in the grass lawn. I'm hopeful for the Spartan traps, dunks, and natural repellent grain. Maybe the dunks will kill enough to stop the breeding cycle. Btw, I read mosquitoes aren't attracted to the dynatrap light. This makes sense because the light breaksdown the CO2 which mosquitoes are attracted to. Spartan mosquito traps: After 1 month using a set of two spaced 75 feet apart 5.5ft of the ground in dense mosquito territory: Between the two traps: they caught zero mosquitoes, 5 ants, 6 spiders. Very disappointed. My area is home to about 10 different mosquito types. I also tried qty 2 Dynatraps (even with mosquito lure, they only caught the aimless mosquito which got too close to the suction fan; they didn't make an impact). I also tried planting citronella which doesn't do anything unless it's cut, processed, liquefied and applied to your skin; too much work. I'm hopeful for mosquito dunks in nearby pond, first batch/month didn't seem to do much; trying second batch. Next endeavor is to encourage dragonflies which eat mosquitoes or mosquito fish. Last resort is industrial spray backyard. Update: Attached photos after 2.5 months usage of two traps 100 feet apart in summer SC area with wooded backyard, grass, overflow pond. Spartan traps did nothing (embarrassment). Mosquito dunks: questionable results, not convinced. Powdered granular natural repellent is just short lived and not worth the cost. Next tests will be: increasing dragonfly population and propane driven repellent.

Attached picture is after dumping the contents of the trap. It was more than a softball sized mass of them. It works. I've had it for about 3 months now, and I use the bait packets for mosquitoes.

Didn't seem to trap much. Almost no insects inside.

5 years old and still going strong!

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.

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.

The claim that this unit produces carbon dioxide (and hence ATTRACTS mosquitoes) is highly dubious. True, the units traps stray mosquitoes that venture near it. But so do other similar products that cost one-fifth of the price. Forget one-fourth acre, the unit is NOT effective over an area of 30 square meters in ideal conditions (operating at least two hours in complete ambient darkness without human presence). It certainly does not 'attract' mosquitoes, hence the claim that it produces carbon dioxide is suspect. It only traps stray mosquitoes that are attracted to it by its light -- at four or five times the cost of similar products that are just as effective.
