Like many Internet-savy customers, I did a lot of research before purchasing my MM Liberty Plus. Most of the research avaialable shows that the Mosquito Magnet works much better than competitive units.

While I did not do a scientific study of this unit compared to others, I can tell you that I am amazed how well the Mosquito Magnet has worked for us. Every 21-22 days we replace the propane tank (there is a nice light you can see from yards away to tell you when it is time) and the attractant, and I empty the very full bag at least once per week.

I'm no scientist, but it seems that the placement of the trap is the single most important factor in its operation. We live on a canal at the mouth of a mostly-still freshwater lake. We placed our MM about 8 feet from the water, approximately 40' from our patio. We've had amazing results all summer! The only mosquito bites we got were from visits to other houses in the neighborhood- none at home.

I highly recommend the attractant with the trap. I ran out for about a week, and I noticed that during that week we caught many fewer mosquitos. And as soon as I replaced it, the bag was full again in a few days.

The only area that I think needs improvement is the plastic down-pipe and base of the unit. For such a professional product, I would have expected these pieces to be stronger feeling, maybe even made out of metal. But they work fine, and I'm sure there was a good reason the manufacturer chose this design (maybe other designs would have rusted, for example).

We are completely happy and are really enjoying our unscreened pool now.
