Product Description

Amazon.com

If relaxing or working outdoors where you live feels like killing time in a bug-infested torture chamber, the Mosquito Trap from Lentek may be your liberator. Powered by propane and electricity, the trap covers up to 3/4 of an acre at a time and runs for up to four weeks on a single tank of propane. Operating without toxic fumes, the trap uses a combination of carbon dioxide, moisture, color, airflow, and thermal imaging (simulated body temperature) to ensnare blood-sucking, egg-laying female insects. With use over time, the mosquito population in the area should markedly decline.

Set up of the trap is simple, as is removing the dead bugs from their mesh capture chamber. Designed to be weather-proof, the trap includes three stakes for securing it to the ground. Keep in mind that the unit is most effective when placed 30-40 feet from the area you want to rid of mosquitoes, so it may require an extension cord or creative placement. Lentek also emphasizes that the trap is made for gradual, around-the-clock use, not for occasional or immediate extermination. Assembled, the trap stands 53-1/2 inches high and measures 18 inches in diameter at the base ring. It is UL-listed and comes with a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic!!!!! Awesome!!! Amazing!!!!!, July 3, 2006

I have an older model I found discarded at the dumpster, and I can't believe how good it works! I had been researching these, and thinking about buying one, but they can be a little expensive. I saw this one at the dumpster, and figured what the heck, it's free if it doesn't work as described, I'll bring it back. I had to buy a propane tank, hooked it up, lit the pilot light, and left it alone for several weeks, (actually started it on April 9th, and refilled the tank May 27th) and I have not had one mosquito this year!!! I have lived here for six years, and because I am kind of tucked in at the bottom of a hill, there is a lot of shade and therefor a lot of mosquitos. I have never been able to just walk out and enjoy the outdoors, I always had to smother myself and guests with bug spray. But this year, I haven't had a single bite! I didn't like the idea of spraying the yard, because I enjoy the birds and don't want to make them ill, and I hated spraying myself, and then having to wash it all off before going to bed. I can honestly say had I known how well this worked, I would have paid twice the asking price, it has freed me from hiding in the house to avoid mosquitos.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!!, January 5, 2006

First of all, this model was discontinued. I bought one for $169.99 a couple years ago. The thermal couple burns out in a year and you can't get a replacement because they don't make the part any more and it's design is proprietary. You have to get a generic one and "customize" it to work. Do not expect ANY customer service. They're rude and not helpful at all and once you've bought their product they could careless about you. As far as function goes, it doesn't really do that well on it's own. It'll catch a few mosquitos here and there. The problem is it doesn't use octenol which is a chemical attractant. I bought an octenol cartridge for another machine and modified this one to use it and it works great. Definately not worth the hassle. Look for another machine that uses propane and octenol. They're out there for less than this one and you'll be much happier.

We have had this in our yard for one month and it is not catching mosquitos. Called the company today and they will not refund, said that is impossible and that I need to return it for a new one at MY COST. Told them I expect them to pay the return shipping since it is their faulty product. They will not. Terrible customer service. The woman hung up on me after I requested to speak with a manager. Steer clear of this company and this product.
