All Bug zappers attracts and kill, but what is so important is it self cleans or comes close. I was not paying attention. Then notice after three days bug more then normal at night with zapper on. I noticed this in the morning. Not good for me, a lot of the time I can’t come out everyday to clean. Well needless to say this is going back, a faulty design. Onto the next attempt, which will be an led one I saw..

The 'bug sucker' DynaTrap works! I like to garden and usually get eaten up by mosquitos. I'm often the only one in a group to get eaten alive. However, since the trap has been in use, I haven't been bitten once. Some things to know: The trap remains on nonstop. There's a fan that makes noise, but it's not any more loud than a small desk fan. It discharges carbon dioxide, attracting insects by mimicking human breath. The fan sucks them into the slots, then down to the basket below, where they eventually die. For that reason, it's a challenge to empty the basket, because weak but living mosquitos will invariably escape. I caught over a cup of insects in one week. The cord is nice and long, and it has to be plugged in to operate. The unit is easy to click on and off by twisting the entire middle portion. It's weather-resistant and the basket is large. This particular unit covers a 1/2 acre. There isn't any zapping, light sparks, or loud noises. Position it head-high, rather than on a low table. The one thing that I wish that I'd known is that ALL types of mites and parasitic bugs will think that they're going to a rock show. This is a beacon for the gross creepy crawlies, and it is a possibility that they will congregate and buzz the trap. Not all of them make it inside the basket, making the area outside a potential hazard! I got close to it, squinting to see what I had caught, when I saw what looked like stains on the outside of the metal basket sections. I 'dusted' it off with my hands, and it turns out that it was mites that promptly tried to relocate on me! I had never had contact with something like that before. For this reason, I would highly recommend that you situate your trap away from all human and animal traffic to totally avoid revved up insects. Prepare to generally leave it undisturbed. Highly recommended!

I live in Alabama near a storm drain and have had a serious mosquito problem. Every time I stepped outside, I was getting eaten alive. I know DynaTrap has mixed reviews, but I was desperate and decided to try the DT1050-AZSR with the Atrakta lure packet. I set it up yesterday and let it run continuously (as recommended). After just 24 hours, I checked it and was shocked — it had already caught a large number of mosquitoes. There are a few moths and other bugs, but it’s mostly mosquitoes. I’d estimate at least 40, possibly more. So far, I’m impressed. I’ll update after a week, but if you’re struggling with mosquitoes like I was, this is definitely worth trying.
