I thought that this would work since it had the trusted name COLEMAN on it. HA! I have had this crappy trap running in my backyard for 2 weeks now and not one mosquito has stuck to the fly paper.

Sure the mosquitoes swarm around it. Just before they come over to the deck to bite me!

This garbage does not work. Shame on Coleman!

I have many mosquitos around my home. I read the directions to this device thoroughly and properly set up the "catcher." After three days, it did not catch one single mosquito, fly, or other insect. Do not buy this item. It is terrible. Thank goodness it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.

This product, simply put, does not work.

I have had it in a spot in my yard where - if I walk into the area - I immediately get 5 or 6 skeeters after me. This spot is away from people, it's shaded, it doesn't get rained on, it's not usually terribly windy...just like the instructions recommend. If their claims were true, it would have caught a whole swarm by now.

Not so! The device has yet to catch a single insect other than some beetle that probably flew into it by mistake.

If you're looking to kill your local mosquito population, you're better off using a pair of chopsticks.

The only things this product attracts is lizards, which apparently like to keep warm from the subtle heat output of the unit. If you've never seen the gruesome results of a four legged creature trying to pull itself off of a sticky trap, we're happy for you (they're still alive, but not...completely...attached!) By the way, since lizards eat bugs, this product actually makes your bug problems worse. Don't waste your money!

This is the second season for the mosquito deleto. I live by the woods and low lying area of a bay. After 2 days of putting it in service we could sit outside the entire summer without one bite. There were very few "bugs" on the sticky trap but that doesn't mean it's not working. It kept the mosquitos completely out of the area. The propane tank lasted all summer and I only replaced the octelnol once during this time. I have friends in the south that have this and swear by so I bought it and recommended it to friends and all of us are mosquito free. Last year I had a bad reaction to a black fly bite and these were no problem either after getting this product.

The mosquito deleto does not work at all. Mosquitoes fly around it but do not get stuck in the paper. I have had the deleto machine for a year and it has not done a single thing to reduce the mosquito population in my yard. Do not buy this product!!!!!!!!

I love it. We have had ours for four years. If it broke I would buy a new one. We have lived in Alabama and now Hawaii. Works great in both places. We wondered if it really worked so we let it run out and about few weeks later we noticed the bites from the no-see-ums. We went right away to fill the propane tank. And never let it run out for more than a week or we will pay the price in bug bites. I love this product. You do have to keep the product refills current but it is a great product that I rave about to all my friends, and my neighbors also benefit from the deleto from the close quarters over here in HI. Army Strong!

I live in Hawaii where we have plenty of mosquitos. I purchased this gadget, and didn't notice a significant difference for the first few weeks. Then, about a month later I replaced the lure strip and a couple of nights after that we bbq'd, and spent the evening outdoors. All of a sudden it just hit me, I realized that I hadn't been bit the whole entire time. This was very unusual, even with insect repellant off. I thought wow it's just my lucky night. Well again a couple of days later we had company and we sat on the deck, again no bites. From there on I truly seen a permanent difference. It takes some time to get rid of most of the adult colony within your surroundings. Then, all of the eggs they leave behind have to hatch before they can be eliminated or reduced. In my opinion I think you should give it about 6-8 weeks before you really decide that it didn't work. I can't say it's perfect and I never see mosquitos anymore but it did make it a whole lot better then what it was. I can tolerate being bit once in a while, but not several times everytime. Also, I keep up the replacements or the lure strip and the sticky part as recommended. I can tell when I replace the lure strip that it works it's best for the first week, and usually I won't see any. I've had my deleto for two summers now, and I'm definitely keeping it. Aloha!

Caught some moths.

My children look like they have measles.

The wife is livid.

Not good.
