It catches some Mosquitos and makes a dent in there population. However, it is not enough to completely shield your yard/picnic from being bothered.

This review is from: Rush Hampton 61005 Mosquito Catcher, Plastic, Single Pack (Lawn & Patio)

I've left this device operating for 4 days straight in what I consider mosquito country. I get bit constantly in my yard while I garden and have resorted to long sleeves and pants. In four days, I've "controlled" exactly 4 mosquitos, 2 moths, and 4-6 very small gnat-looking bugs. The device contains a blue LED and a fan similar to one in a PC. It's louder than I would tolerate my PC to be though. There is no pheromone. There's no CO2. Just a blue LED and a fan. I wouldn't consider this to be "state-of-the-art." I bought it because it looks the cutest and I was willing to take a chance. I paid the stupid tax on this one. Don't repeat my mistake.

I bought two of these from woot.com for a total of $55 with shipping and everything some weeks back. I live in SW Florida where there are many mosquitoes, and I would have them buzzing in my ear at night. Since I've put the two of them up for a few weeks now, I've had virtually NO mosquitoes in or around my house.

It works by interrupting the mosquito life cycle. As it captures the adults, they cannot then mate or lay eggs. It doesn't work overnight, and it's not meant to. After all of the eggs in your area hatch and are depleted, there are no mosquitoes around to lay new eggs, and the impact is very noticeable.
