Dynatrap® Half-Acre Insect Trap

My first unit the fan stopped working within about three weeks. I exchanged it for another unit and ran it for most of the summer. It filled with harmless moths quickly, caught some midges, and very few mosquitos. I placed it away from light sources, 20 feet from my deck, and observed no difference in mosquito population after nearly four months. I even added a mosquito lure. A fast moving hand is more effective at controlling the mosquito population than this unit.

We live in Georgia and really need mosquito protection in the summer. We followed the instructions and installed this trap last summer. As far as we could tell, we never caught a single mosquito. We were deadly to the local moth population though!

I live on ag land in Georgia (growing zone 7b) with all manner of goat, horse, and cow farms all around. For us that means flies, gnats, and plenty of various types of mosquitos. As long as it’s small and not strong enough to fight the fan, it gets stuck in here. Luckily, the honeybees and wasps I’ve seen make it through the fan have powered their way out. I bought two Dynatraps in Fall 2020 and placed one in the front and one at the back of my house. They both stay plugged in 24/7. I do keep them on covered areas and pull them down in mid-Winter if it stays cold, and I’ve had no problems with the fans or bulbs burning out yet. The picture is what was collected from late January 2022-March 2022. The worst part about these things is emptying them. It is about $15 more per unit than I spent back in 2020, but so is everything else. I’d buy it again if I needed one. It makes time on the patio much more enjoyable.

Catches tons of moths. Mosquito population is unphased. Wasted money.

Does absolutely nothing. We gave it several weeks here in central California. Returned it and still haven't seen the credit pop up on my PayPal! It's been almost an entire month since I've returned it.

Followed directions with placement. Worked fine then all the sudden it stopped working, Unfortunately, Bed Bath and Beyond does not except returns after 30 days for this product.

Works well when you run it continuously. I haven't done that but when it is running it does attract flying insects pretty well. Not sure if you can leave it out rain or shine though since it's electrical.

I returned the product. Wanted it for the beach to fish on our private pier and it didn't do much on helping with mosquito population so still got eat up
