Summary: Moth Catcher 2008-07-05
Comment: We've had the unit for about two months. It attracts lots of moths and june bugs, but it hasn't really dented the mosquito population at all. I was worried that it would attract beneficial insects, but there are very few lady bugs or other beneifical insects inside. It does reduce the number of june bugs flying around the deck so we keep it on.

Comment: This does not work. Don't waste your money. Now I am in the process of sending it back, which I am glad I put the charge on my charge account, because it has a dispute department.

Summary: 1/2 a deck, not 1/2 an acre 2008-06-28
Comment: It works o.k. if you are within 10 feet of it, but we still get mosquitos flying around us, although they do not light. It does not work at our dining table less than 20 feet from the unit and we get bitten by mosquitos. We'd say it works on 1/2 a deck, not 1/2 an acre, and are considering returning it. It does kill everything that gets near it and does not specifically target mosquitos. Ralph Preston & Deborah Thomas

Summary: Owned for a year 2008-06-23
Comment: I had it for one year. Like other reviews, the product catches all kinds of insects AND mosquitoes. I think it works well for the money and is cheaper than chemicals and propane costs. My original set of bulbs JUST now blew out after all of last season and part of this one. I am buying a second one for the front yard. It's not perfect but was a good value.

Summary: Happy in NJ - Buying a Second DynaTrap TODAY! 2008-06-13
Comment: OK... I am one of those people that cannot be outside for even a second at dusk, without getting at least 4-10 new mosquito bites. I knew that I would be able to review this product after only one night of having it out.
Well, after the first night... here I am, very pleased, and am about to buy a second one, and will also purchase spare bulbs (just in case) and Octenol to try and attract EVEN MORE of those pesky mosquitos.
I peeked in this morning, and it didn't look like there were that many mosquitos in there, they are hard to see... they're skinny little guys, and the flapping moths made it hard to see how many mosquitos were really in there. But boy oh boy.. when I had a second to empty it out. WOW.. they were hard to count, but I'd say between 50 - 100... and that's just ONE DAY!
I read all the other reviews here at Amazon before buying, so was prepared for the possible pitfalls, and it looks to me like the company has made an effort to improve it's weaker points. It comes with a band that affixes with velcro around where the bugs fly in. You place on there when you shut the unit off, so the bugs don't fly out at you. It comes with a nice long cord (10ft, someone here said their cord was shorter). It also comes with a brush to clean it, and a sturdy clip to hang it from (someone else here said that it needed a better clip).
I have shady areas at the very left and very right ends of my backyard, and even during the day, If I venture into those areas to get a ball or something... I get BIT! The one Dynatrap hangs from a tree branch in the shady area on the left side, near our patio and table. My new DynaTrap, which I will order as soon as I am done typing this, will hang on a tree branch on the other end of the yard.
I am hoping that 2 traps in my yard will somewhat diminish the population. That's all I am looking for. I think if people expect to not see a single mosqito EVER again.. they are expecting too much. I personally don't plan on going out on my patio at dusk, untill I have my new traps hanging for a week or two (I have a screened in porch.. and that's where I'll be).
I will write another review after I recieve my second unit and have it up for awhile, and will likewise mention when (if) bulbs give out, and whether or not the traps work without the bulbs as well.
I live in New Jersey (about 200ft from a still shallow lake), and it was helpful for me to read that others somewhat near me (Maryland, Boston) said that this unit worked. I think that regional populations behave differently.. and I was ssoooo hoping that this worked... and so far so good!
I should also mention that I bought my unit here at Amazon, got free shipping, and received it in maybe 3 days... pretty darn good!
