4.0 out of 5 stars Not immediate, but yet effective, July 29, 2004

This review is from: Mosquito Magnet Octenol Biting Insect Attractant, 3-Pack OCT3 (Lawn & Patio)

I have been using my mosquito magnet for about 18 months now. It matches the advertising and is effective as promised. It has significantly reduced the mosquito population in my back yard. It did take some time as promised to kill them off, but I can really tell the difference from one side of the yard (where the mosquito magnet is located by my deck) to the other. Keep in mind that this thing promises at best a 1 acre coverage and my yard is 2 1/2.

This review is from: Mosquito Magnet Octenol Biting Insect Attractant, 3-Pack OCT3 (Lawn & Patio)

I live in Minnesota where the Mosquito is our 2nd State bird and this machine works wonders. Our yard has bushes and trees and the machine controls the mosquito population great. We also live by a lake and many marshes and wetlands and since buying this machine Spring 2004 we have been virtually mosquito free. It takes a couple of weeks to start to work but once the mosquitos hatch, they swarm to the machine and we have to empty the basket almost every other day! Before the mosquito magnet we would have to go into the house before it even became dusk because of all of the mosquitos! Now we can swim in our pool and have fun in our backyard into the night. I would recommend this to anyone who maintains their schedules around the dreaded mosquito!

The other review seems to be from someone who doesn't own this product. I own it.

It did take some time (about 6 weeks total, since that is the lifecycle of mosquitos), but our yard is now almost completely mosquito free. It works.
