- Weighing the bugs after 1 season to see which trap caught the most.
Overall these seemed to do their job, which was to reduce the number of mosquito bites. We had the fewest number of mosquitos after putting these up.
I initially liked the 1/2 acre size and even bought one for a gift for someone. However, the fan stopped working halfway through the year, which was disappointing. The 1/2 acre size is otherwise nice because in addition to hanging on a hook, it can also be mounted to a wall.
The 1 acre trap caught the most but the downsides to this trap is that it's larger and louder than the others. These two downsides weren't an issue for us but they may be for some people.
I think the 1/4 acre size is the real star because it caught a surprisingly large amount of bugs for it's tiny size. It's also very quiet and didn't break.

If you don't empty and clean them every few weeks the fans get clogged and stop so that's why your medium one stopped.....
@@albertawecker3984 Yep, you’re exactly right. cleaned it and it’s working fine now. I’ll upload another video showing that.
Thank you
what percentage of all those bugs do you think were mosquitos? We're having a hellacious year for mosquitos up here in Minnesota. Would love to find a reliable way to thin the swarms.
It’s hard to say because the bugs kind of turn to dust. I’ll empty the traps before the end of June and look for mosquitoes.
you can get a mosquito bait to put in the trap
i saw them at Costco the 1/2 one
Size-wise, that one is my favorite. It’s also nice because it can be mounted on the wall.
Do you enjoyed your backyard while those mosquito buzzing machines are working? Any mosquito bites?
The traps are great. They trapped a lot of bugs and I had noticeably fewer mosquitos last year. The fans aren't bothersome at all. I don't hear the small ones outside. The largest one can be heard if you're near it, but I don't go near it often. Hope this helps.
Do these catch flying ants??
@@michelebarnett7891 I’ve seen them in the traps but I’m not sure how effective this trap is for that bug specifically.
How does it attract the bugs?
From their website:
01 | LIGHT LURES INSECTS
Lamp generates UV rays to attract flying insects, day and night
02 | FAN PULLS INSECTS IN
Fan draws insects into the trap and a damper keeps them there
03 | EASY INSECT DISPOSAL
Easily empty the catch basket with just the touch of a button
Consider wearing a dust mask next time.
I suggest wearing gloves
The bugs in the trap were dead.
