4.0 out of 5 stars Seems to work, but there's a typo somewhere!, April 21, 2005

Ok, I just got one of these things, and I have to admit that last evening I stood by our seasonal stream watching the mosquitoes laying eggs on the water, and the mosquitoes weren't noticing me a bit. I do have a big Lentek mosquito trap which has been helping quite a bit with the populations, but really, they should have been driving me nuts.

Now, I haven't yet used up a cartridge, so I don't know which one is inaccurate, but the online advertising, copied here and a zillion other places, says each cartridge lasts "at least 120 hours". However, the product package says they last "up to 12 hours". Big difference! I've emailed the company and will be quite interested to learn which is the actual specification.

My 7 yr. old son is allergic to mosquito bites, plus I'm concerned about West Nile virus. Unfortunately, mosquitoes love him, and he always get some really nasty bites when he is sleeping. I bought this little unit, and now have peace of mind! I turn this on in his room for about half an hour at bedtime, leaving his door open, then turn it off and close his door. Any mosquitoes lurking in his room have been driven out by the geranium scent. I do the same in my own bedroom, and I am very pleased with the results.

The geranium scent is rather strong, but not unpleasant. I don't find it necessary to leave this on all night, so it's not a problem. I also like that you can clip this on your belt and turn it on for when you are outside. It's just a tiny little fan blowing through the geranium scented cartridge, so it is small and light-weight.

I received this Lentek Model MM30, called Bite Shield yesterday afternoon and at around 4:30 PM I tested this thing in my back yard which a hiding place for some Asian Tiger mosquitos in Houston, Texas. These pesky mosquitos are known to bite during daytime. Within 5 minutes while testing in a light breeze of around 4 to 5 MPH one adult came by with three other smaller ones, despite of this Lentek running by my side. I swatted the adult and two smaller ones by my palm when they started feeding on my left arm, but the other juvenile got away. This morning, at 8:15 AM I tested it again in calm air and was surprised that one or two mosquitos will not land on my test arm. I tested again this afternoon before sunset with calm air, and got bitten while this Lentek was running on my belt. I came back inside my home scratching my left elbow. I would just give this Lentek MM30 a 3-star rating at this place where these Asian Tiger mosquitos are plentiful.
