We used it all of last summer, it worked great. Then the bulb ran out. I ordered it, my husband tried to change it but the top and bottom part around the bulb, that you have to open to replace it, came apart. You can see in Fig 1 what I'm talking about. The little bit about making sure those don't separate is the last line of the instructions in small print. But if you take it apart, and you lose the female part down the slot, you can't just plug it back in. I pulled the female plug out from the casing with needle nose pliers, cleaned out the casing put in the new lightbulb, cleaned the fan too with a toothbrush (carefully!! can't get the wires in the middle wet). I attached a little wire bag closer to the female part so I can easily pull it out if it gets disconnected again. I cleaned the inside of the plug too, it had sat for months disconnected. Once all put back together it worked perfectly. We're in the north east Georgia mountains and bus reign here. When I first called Dynatrap for help on how to fix the fact the plug had been disconnected I was not helped and the staff were rude.

I bought this DynaTrap version instead of the Mosquito Magnet trap version due to cost. This pack is $17.99 and lasts 60 days so the cost per day is .29. The Mosquito Magnet version is a 3 pack for $29.99 and lasts 16 days each and the cost per day is .62. To get it to fit, I folded the packet in to thirds and inserted it in to the opening another reviewer suggested. Don't insert it in to the tube portion that has the suction in that leads to the trap/net. I included a picture for reference. Does this packet work better than the Mosquito Magnet version? Don't know yet. Unless this doesn't work at all, I don't plan on trying the other most expensive version. PSA: Put on gloves before touching this packet. It stinks and the smell get stuck on your fingers. Had to wash them at least three times with hand soap to get the smell off. I don't recommend wandering around in your yard after touching this as there could be residual smells on you that mosquito's smell that you can't! Head indoors after touching!

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.
