We purchased this product after it was recommended to my husband and I by two different friends who use it and love it (one lives in the city and the other in the country). We have 4 acres, but 3 of them are wooded. We tried having someone come to spray the perimeter monthly but that did nothing for our mosquito problems and I was not too thrilled with that option.
We hung our UNDER our second level deck (40x12) since it said it could handle some water and rain. Our deck has no covering, so we thought that was the best placement to get the coverage we were looking for. And the area under our deck is concrete but tends to be damp because of the size of our deck.
We empty it out weekly and by the second week, we have had a significant decrease in mosquitos. I read about the 6 week cycle, but this began working for us after just a few days. How I determine "working for us" - myself and my two boys are mosquito MAGNETS. They never touch my husband. Since we hung this, only one bite. That includes playing in the backyard grass and deck (where my kids are daily and I am with them if I am not working). It does not work on gnats (FYI :) I can not point to any particular change in weather that would contribute to this decrease. We have had rain, humidity, sun up here in northeastern PA. Maybe more rainy that other years.
My girl friend said she has had hers for 8 years. i hope ours lasts that long! It was worth the money if it continues to perform like it has so far.

DynaTrap ½ Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap
Is your home and yard plagued by mosquitoes, biting flies, wasps, moths, Asian beetles, or stink bugs? The DynaTrap ½ Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap provides a simple and effective option for protecting your property. The lightweight, portable, and powerful all-weather trap is designed to provide protection up to ½ acre.
DynaTrap technology utilizes 3-way protection to defend your property against insect pests. First, the UV bulb generates warm light, which is highly attractive to many pest insects. Then a second lure, an exclusive Ti02 titanium dioxide-coated surface, produces a CO2 trail that mimics human breath. Once attracted to the unit, the powerful, whisper-quiet fan draws the insects and mosquitoes into the retaining cage where they dehydrate and die.
Why Choose DynaTrap?

Total ProtectionThanks to its ultra-quiet fan, this trap pulls insects into its retaining cage without zapping or buzzing. This makes it a great solution for removing flying insects at barbecues, parties, or evenings in the backyard. To avoid attracting insects to where you spend time, place the trap approximately 20-40 ft away from where people will be sitting. |
What We CatchDynaTrap Insect Traps catch a wide variety of pest insects known to plague homes. This trap is ideal for trapping mosquitoes, black flies, and other biting and stinging insects, as well as Asian lady beetles which are known to ravage gardens. This trap is not designed to attract honeybees and other beneficial insects. |
How to UseThe DynaTrap ½ Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap was designed with ease of use in mind. The trap requires no propane, with additional attractants optional. Hang or place your trap on a flat surface in between insect breeding areas and people areas. Plug the trap in and keep it continuously running. |

Works so well that bugs will swarm
The 'bug sucker' DynaTrap works! I like to garden and usually get eaten up by mosquitos. I'm often the only one in a group to get eaten alive. However, since the trap has been in use, I haven't been bitten once. Some things to know: The trap remains on nonstop. There's a fan that makes noise, but it's not any more loud than a small desk fan. It discharges carbon dioxide, attracting insects by mimicking human breath. The fan sucks them into the slots, then down to the basket below, where they eventually die. For that reason, it's a challenge to empty the basket, because weak but living mosquitos will invariably escape. I caught over a cup of insects in one week. The cord is nice and long, and it has to be plugged in to operate. The unit is easy to click on and off by twisting the entire middle portion. It's weather-resistant and the basket is large. This particular unit covers a 1/2 acre. There isn't any zapping, light sparks, or loud noises. Position it head-high, rather than on a low table.The one thing that I wish that I'd known is that ALL types of mites and parasitic bugs will think that they're going to a rock show. This is a beacon for the gross creepy crawlies, and it is a possibility that they will congregate and buzz the trap. Not all of them make it inside the basket, making the area outside a potential hazard! I got close to it, squinting to see what I had caught, when I saw what looked like stains on the outside of the metal basket sections. I 'dusted' it off with my hands, and it turns out that it was mites that promptly tried to relocate on me! I had never had contact with something like that before. For this reason, I would highly recommend that you situate your trap away from all human and animal traffic to totally avoid revved up insects. Prepare to generally leave it undisturbed. Highly recommended!

I live near a very large creek and a nature area so I have lots of bugs and mosquitoes. I needed options before mosquitoes carried me away while walking to put trash on the curb or say hi to my neighbor for a quick chat.
This picture is a week!!! I have now had it a month and always amazes me at how many more bugs it traps nightly. Neighbor commented she is not seeing bugs trying to get into her house either. We were standing outside during prime mosquito time and neither one of us had a single bite! It was glorious!!! Definitely buy the mosquito bait sachet sold separately. It doesn’t come with one at all.
Downside. It doesn’t zap them dead. It only sucks them in with the very quiet fan and then keeps them trapped until they die. It is recommended to put a plastic bag over it to help trap the live ones while emptying it, but haven’t mastered that. Just giving the bugs another chance to be lured to their death.
Other notables: I started using it after firefly season to protect them so they aren’t attracted to the blue glow. My bug specialist friend said it is catching everything that he knows about in the area. No butterflies have been trapped. I didn’t dig through to count mosquitoes, but the lack of being bitten is evidence enough for me to believe the bait sachets are working.
Yay!!!!
I can enjoy my yard without chemicals!
