Review: Not Reliable - It worked OK for one season. Reduced number of mosquitoes by about half. Second season, harder to light, but worked about the same. Then six weeks in, it would light but not stay lit. Customer Service advised me to unscrew the gas line, remove the filter and try to light. It lit more quickly, being unblocked, but wouldn't stay lit. I called back and they offered to replace the machine for free if it was less than a year old. Obviously, they have this problem a lot. I told them it was a year and six weeks old. They told me I had to pay $200 for a new machine. I decided it was too much money to replace a machine that should work for a at least three years, and is expensive to operate and only works so-so.
Review: Wow. Good wow, I mean... - Holy cow, it really works. I live in Central Texas, where we have the 'old' kind of mosquito and the 'new', the Asian Tiger. My home is within a half-mile of a large creek, and we get the bloodsuckers PRETTY THICK for being in a city. Ugh. I lurked on the review boards for at least a YEAR before biting the bullet because these things are too expensive to not work. I eventually decided on the SkeeterVac over the Mosquito Magnet sadly, because the MM is made in America and I like buying American. The overwhelming consensus seemed to be that they are unreliable and short-lived, though. I just have no handy/putter gene, and fixing/jerry-rigging a propane appliance every few weeks just wasn't appealing. So the SkeeterVac went into the cart. It ships in its own package, so if you live in a sketchy part of town, you might want to be home the day it arrives since anyone passing by will be able to view the sweet new item you ordered. I went down to Wally World for my propane, as it was reasonably priced and of the Blue Rhino brand (maker of the Vac) and I wasn't 100% sure you could use any brand (I told you I'm not handy or outdoorsy). Setup was easy even for a newb like me, and I didn't have any of the issues listed by other reviewers (I listened and listened for the 'popping sound' without which catastrophe was implied, but never heard it and it seems just fine). And best of all IT CATCHES MOSQUITOES. I suspect then that some of the disappointed folks didn't experiment with placement ( the other reason I went with this brand is that you need no electrical outlet, which is big at my house because there's only one outlet and its smack at the back door...not where I want to park my mosquito-attracting item). I put it in the corner of the yard under a tree and next to a bush...mosquitoes congregate in cool shady areas with not a lot of wind/draft. I haven't even moved it to see if anywhere else is better because it works well right there. Every time I go to check the catch cup there's thirty to a hundred vampires in there. It does NOT catch the Asian Tigers because they are not sensitive to the lure that SkeeterVac sells. I have purchased MM's Lurex-3 bait for the Tigers and now I just need to figure out where it goes (they are different sizes but so many reviewers said they will fit...kindly let me know if you know where to install them!!!) Also, the Tac-Trap went straight into the trash. I have no desire to catch lizards/birds/bats/dog faces. Don't want kill anything but bugs, thanks, and so many people mentioned finding out the hard way that small animals are attracted to the delicious bugs stuck to the glue...only to be caught in their turn. Man, that's got to be bad karma. SkeeterVac peeps, can't you sell some kind of wire cage for the Tac-Trap that tiny mosquitoes can infiltrate but insect-eating animals cannot? If your sales of traps are lower than you expect, maybe that's why...I'd buy if there were such a device. But it turns out I don't need the Tac-Trap. I can now sit on my deck. My dogs can sit on the deck without serving as blood bags. Before I couldn't even walk out to turn the sprinkler on without coming back with 3-7 bites. Sitting outside to read a book/have a drink/play with the dogs??? Unthinkable. For masochists only. Now I know when I've run the propane tank down 'cause I start getting bitten again. I might get five bites in a week now, and they are ALWAYS the Asian Tigers, which this product does not target anyway but which I'm working on addressing as mentioned earlier! I'm doing my neighbors a solid favor. The leeches should be chipping in for propane, because it DOES chew through a tank quickly if you run it continuously like you're 'supposed' to. But I mean, what is it worth to you to be able to go outside not suited for battle and slathered in chemicals? Its amazing. I'd forgotten the feel of the sun on my face. I'd buy it again...wish I'd bought the bigger one. Trust me, I WILL update if it only lasts a year, because a perishable good should not cost three to five hundred dollars. But for now add me to the wagonload of folks ready to testify that if placed properly, it does catch its target and results are significant.

## Features

- MOSQUITO ELIMINATOR: Don't let pesky mosquitoes and other insects ruin your backyard parties, picnics, and barbecues. SkeeterVac is the cost-efficient solution to limiting the mosquito and insect population in your backyard. This model covers up to 1 acre. Please note that this product takes 4-6 WEEKS TO TAKE FULL EFFECT.
- HANDS OFF DESIGN: Constructed with a multi-spark electronic ignition that easily sparks a filled propane tank (tank sold separately), the SkeeterVac operates 24 hours a day. SkeeterVac uses a time-release mosquito attractant that lures and eliminates mosquitoes and other backyard insects from the environment.
- EASY TO INSTALL: With zero tools required, the SkeeterVac assembles easily in minutes. Simply place the machine in a shady area close to the insect habitat. Connect a filled propane tank and turn the machine on.
- BUILT TO LAST: Leave clunky cords, service interruptions, and inconvenient upkeep in the past. SkeeterVac’s CO2 rating is 35,000 cc/hour, and product performance can vary due to weather, wind, and other environmental conditions.
- LIMITED MAINTENANCE: When your propane tank is empty, just change it out, replace the sticky trap, and empty the vacuum trap. Once you reassemble those pieces, your SkeeterVac will continue working until the propane tank is empty again. SkeeterVac measures 25"L x 12.1"W x 31.5"H.

### ⭐ Don't buy this trap. Waste of money!
*by F***N on June 19, 2025*

I have never reviewed a product I have bought via Amazon. However, I wanted to warn other potential buyers NOT to buy this. My first purchase of this product was several years ago. As I recall, it worked for a period of time, I didn't store it at end of season, and when I went to use it, it failed to light. I blamed it on my failure and decided to try patio repellants. After several year, I decided to give it another try, bit the bullet, spent the money and bought this again ( had several refills left over from first purchase.) Received the product, went to light it, and it failed to light. Spent hours on the phone with customer service and, after trying everything per their instructions, they agreed that the unit was defective and sent me a new one. Meanwhile, I had to explain to my wife, why I had spent over $500 on a mosquito trap that didn't work and waited for replacement. Thank god it was covered under warranty. The replacement trap came and it lit easily the first time. That was great until the second time. After the propane tank empties, you have to replace the propane, and relight the trap by pressing propane intake hose and the immediately pressing the igniter button until the trap lights. If you have ever pressed hard with your fingers on a button that is akwardly placed, it is not fun. The trap eventually lit for the next two times, I purchased the lure refills, the season ended, and, this time I stored it per the instructions. This year, I set it up, lit for 1/2 of a month and failed, Tried lighting it again, tried replacing the propane, tried to have other people hold the button, heard them complain, and finally gave up. Now the trap is out of warranty.While I thought this was a good idea, I will NEVER buy this trap again or recommend it.
