I live in Northeast Florida so standing water is a common thing. I fact, our property boarders a swampy area. Needless to say, the Mosquito might as well be the state bird because of their numbers. I purchased the Skeetervac to help put a dent in the skeeter population. I purchased this model because it didn't require a 120v outlet. This unit is pretty expensive to maintain but it does work well. A 20lb LP cylinder lasts approx 21 days, give or take a day, and costs around $18.00 to refill. That is if you run it 27/7. A box of (2) tack sheets cost around $19.99 and you use one sheet a month. The bait attractant is supposed to be replaced once every 60 days and costs approx $17.00 I do feel that the tack sheets that fit around the unit could be better designed. They do a very good job trapping all kinds of biting insects but I often times have to pull it off of our dog because he accidentally brushed up against it. This unit will not eliminate your mosquito problem in all cases but you definitely will see a noticeable decline in their numbers in a few weeks. Remember, I live on the edge of a swamp. If you kill one, that's one more that can't reproduce. It is rather expensive to purchase and maintain but it was worth it to me. I now can go outside in the evening and not have to worry about making an appointment at the local blood bank for a transfusion. If you can get past the initial cost and up-keep you will not regret this purchase.
