I've ran this unit continuously for about a month. While it does get some mosquitoes, it does not eliminate the vast majority. In fact, I can sit 5 feet away from it after it has been running, and in a few minutes I get swarmed.

My understanding is, there are several different species of mosquito, and they are attracted to different things. After studying the unit in action, it is my conclusion that it is not effective on the type of mosquitoes in my area, central western Idaho.

I would still recommend it, though, because it does catch some mosquitos, and for the price, it beats swatting them all.

$300 is a lot for what you get, but it did work very well for me last summer. it caught lots of bugs and I noticed a difference. Sadly, this year, it won't even start up. Poor quality really annoys me more than the bugs do. Grrrr.

The mosquito catcher works great and we only had to replace this once this summer.

great tool to get rid of mosquitoes. we live in alaska, have plenty of those blood-suckers. skeetervac has worked for us for the past 5 years. we go through 2 sets of finetunes, 2 tacktraps (doubles) and 3 tanks of propane a year. I do have to clean the jet every other year, just blow it through with an air hose.

I own some land in Nova Scotia where i go camping. I have tried just about everything to kill the mosquitoes there, which basically come in like thick clouds of biting menace...this kills more than any other, and the fact is after about three weeks of solid use, i really noticed a huge reduction in the number of bugs around...plus you don't have to plug it in...everyone in my family loves this bug killer.

This accessory for the Skeeter Vac is a must have. Replace it about every other time you replace the propane tank, and you'll be good to go.

I purchased the skeeter Vac in April. Not only have the mosquitoes diminished but the fly population has took a huge hit as well. Sure nice to enjoy my back yard again.

I bought this due to some of the positive reviews on Amazon and some other sites. It does go through the propane tank quickly, probably in about three weeks but am pleased I dont have to plug it into an electric outlet. This summer we have practically zero mosquitos in our back yard. So, you say, this must be working, right? I hope so. On the other hand, I have very few mosquitos caught in the basket of this contraption. Thus, I am not sure if it is the machine that is working or simply the fact that we have less mosquitos this summer as compared to past years???

I've waited patiently for the last month - this thing hasn't trapped much of anything. There are plaenty of mosquitos in my yard - they just don't seem to be drawn to this trap. I've tried all the different settings and moved it around but this thing doesn't seem to do much of anything other than blink at night. And to make matters worse, it blew flew an entire tank of propane in 15-20 days - NOT 60 days (as they claim). I plan to ask for my money back...

All I know is that it uses up a lot of propane, and it doesn't seem to catch all that many mosquitoes. It does catch them, but I'm not sure if it actually makes any difference.
