After thinking the wrong item was sent, I realized I ordered a refill pack for $13. This is not the starter kit. Going back to look i noticed the "frequently returned item" message along with finding the plug-in for $18. That's an $18 nope. Take the concept and make something within the same UV nm range and save a bit or enjoy the value in being able to customize. Be sure to make something that won't slowly strain your eyes or catch on fire. I just happened to have an extra uv light from a shelf not being used in my uranium cabinet. Used some poster frame trim, cardstock, and found a piece of tyvek left from a sewing template I made to cover the middle. Providing a photo to show my mega example but I plan to relocate this closer to the wall in my closet. Since they are LEDs, they shouldn't get too hot but I will supervise it. I will see how many fungus gnats I can catch in the plant kitchen first. The main point- $18 is a lot for a simple plug in retrofitted to hold a sticky card and i wonder how many others thought they were ordering a kit. I imagine, for $18, you can get multiple uv plug ins and modify them with something you have in the house already. I made mine in less than 10 minutes.

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 keep this Dynatrap on 24/7. Unlike the outdoor one that doesn’t trap mosquitoes like DynaTrap advertises, this unit is very effective, knats, fruit flys, regular flys. Company lists what the unit and inserts does accurately. I change the glue insert out about every 2 weeks.
