If you can get two years out of this you are one of the lucky ones.At half the price it would not be as bad, I'd give it a extra star. When it worked it did what it was advertised to do.

It catches mosquitoes, but -

The Mosquito Magnet catches mosquitoes, but its not reliable, and the cost for repairs is high. I purchased a Defender model about a year ago, and it worked great coming out of the box. However, within three months it malfunctioned and had to be sent back for repairs. I stored the unit in my garage over the winter, and tried to reactivate it this spring. While trying to reactivate the unit I broke the quick value, and tried to order a replacement from the factory, but they refused to supply the replacement part and required me to send the unit back to their service center to have this screw in valve replaced. I sent it back and was given an estimate in excess of $100 for repairs, plus approximately a $18 cost for the broken part. When I refused to pay this estimate, the service center finally agreed to return my unit with the replacement part. I had to unscrew 4 screws, unscrew the broken valve, screw in the replacement value, and replace the 4 screws, I was through within 5 minutes. The unit worked fine for 6 weeks, and now is malfunctioning with a different kind of failure. I called technical support and went through their suggested procedures, which included removing the extension power cord and replacing the propane tank. None of their suggestions worked, and I now have to send it back to Mosquito Magnet's service center. I expect the cost to exceed $100 plus shipping charges, and it will be weeks before it's returned.

I would recommend against purchasing this product, unless you purchase two of them - One for the back yard, and a backup that will be alternately shipped to Mosquito Magnet's service center. Furthermore I suggest you budget an extra $200.00 per year for repairs service.

great product

It has worked wonderfully for me for 3 years. I would definately buy it again.

Do not buy this overpriced lawn ornament

I bought three units for my three acre yard. Total, I caught about 100 mosquitos. All three units stopped working after only one season.

This is quite possibly the biggest scam evAr. I honestly do not understand how this company can stay in business.

Save your money. Keep your yard cut short, and empty any standing water.

Good for one year only.

This is the trap available at my local hardware. Mine worked fantastically the first year. Second year, inadequate. I attempted to repair it but found no customer support. A dealer in Florida sent me a refurbished head - still inadequate. I bought another new one two years ago and it worked great for one year. Don't buy this lemon unless you want to spend $75 a month controlling mosquitoes.
