Mosquito Magnet MM4200B Patriot Plus Mosquito and Flying Insect Trap and Killer - Outdoor Fly Trap Protects Up to 1 Acre, Green

This is the second Magnet I have bought. The newer ones are much better than previous generations. They fire right up and do the job. Notes & a mini FAQ: *Do you have to change the propane tanks every 21 days? - Yes. The propane is fuel that generates the CO2 used to attract the skeeters. *Doesn't changing the propane get expensive? - Expensive is a relative term. Price a tank at the local stop & shop and see if your budget can support it. *It used to catch lots of skeeters & now it doesn't. - That's because once you break the cycle of mosquitoes breeding, there will be fewer of them to catch. *I'm using it but there are still mosquitoes biting me! - The Magnet is not a cure all. Have you cleaned your gutters? Raked up old leaves? Gotten rid of standing water? And what about your neighbors...if their gutters haven't been cleaned of old leaves in years, the mosquitoes are still going to keep breeding! And make sure you you use the correct lure for your area. *It only worked for "x" seasons! - These machines require maintenance. Make sure you use the CO2 cartridge to blow out the device each tank change. Have the machine serviced (each year is recommended, use the Googles for a place in Texas I use.) *I don't like seeing a propane tank just sitting out in the yard! - Get a tank cover. They're cheap, last several seasons, and are like $10.

After getting off the phone with Mosquito Magnet customer service, I had to get on here and write a review. Like most of you reading this now, I came on amazon and specifically searched for the mosquito magnet. I read all of these one star reviews but the mosquitos are so bad where I live in South Florida that I felt like I had no choice but to order this product. The product arrived and I was beyond impressed with how effective it was. Within two weeks the mosquito population on my property was noticeably decreased. Places where I couldn't hang out without being attacked by mosquitos now all of the sudden were clear of mosquitos. Again, I was and am extremely impressed. Unfortunately, (and this is a reoccurring theme in the reviews) after having the Patriot Plus for less than two months, it randomly stopped working. I watched videos on read the instruction manual, watching videos on youtube, and even called customer service. After wasting an hour on the phone with three different associates on three separate calls, the best they could do was send me a prepaid shipping label to have the unit "repaired." This is where the one star review comes in: You would think that the company obviously knows it has a serious quality control problem. The negative reviews on amazon alone make this point. When you spend $350 on anything and it doesn't work within the warranty period, the solution is easy: send a replacement product to your customer asap. Now I have to send the product back for repair and here's what is frustrating...all of the progress I've made on my property by having the mosquito magnet will no be lost and I will have to start over. It takes about 4 weeks to break the mosquito cycle where your property becomes more or less free of the insects. Now that I have to return the product for repair, I get to start the process all over again whenever/if I receive the repaired product. The way this company handle reoccurring quality issues with their product is unacceptable at a $350 price-point. What is so upsetting is that the product when it is working, is amazing. This isn't rocket science Mosquito Magnet...fix the reoccurring quality issues and all of the sudden your company will become more profitable because you won't have to deal with all the returns and bad reviews. It's upsetting to see such an effective product, only to learn that the quality is crap. It makes me want to find investors to buy you out and get the right quality control in place.

Mosquitos have only been a problem in Newport Beach for the last couple years when Asian Tigers moved in, always biting your ankles at any time of day or night. We tried several traps and other items to keep them away and finally bought two real traps, Mosquito Magnet and Biogents w/ CO2. We have one set up on each side of the yard about 20 yards apart. Biogents runs on CO2 and catches a lot of mosquitos, I think quite a few more than the propane based Mosquito Magnet. In the pics above you can see there are still 20-30 live mosquitos in the Biogents trap that have been caught in the last couple days and loads of dead ones from over the last month. The trap of the Mosquito Magnet only has a couple of live ones but it too has killed hundreds over the last month. Kind of hard to see the dead ones in both traps in the pics but must be around 1,000 combined. So Biogents catches more here at my house. Only issue with Biogents is the cost. Both items are around $300 but the Biogents uses a CO2 canister that costs over $100 and costs $35 to fill which lasts about 5 days with a 10 gallon tank (around $200 per month). Mosquito Mag uses propane so buying the tank is only $40 and $22 to fill up PLUS it lasts a full 20 days and you can find propane anywhere (around $30 per month). The convenience and cost to run the Mosquito Mag is much easier to live with over a longer period of time and it does do a good job. If you can afford the CO2 Biogents and have easy access to refill CO2, it kills more. I'm going to keep running both until we clear the area then might just keep the Mosquito Mag running long term, bringing out the Biogents if we notice more mosquitos again down the line. Either item is great and way better than anything else we tried. Very satisfying to see 1,000 mosquitos in the trap versus biting us inside and out.

家裏に林があり、毎年蚊が多く悩まされておりましたが こちらを設置し 蚊を目にすることが圧倒的に減りました。3週間おきという中途半端なタイミングで誘引剤とプロパンガス交換があり、星4つとしましたが、蚊が目に見えて減る効果の方が有益です！

You need to buy a voltage changer & adaptor for electricity fitting not only that you will need a gas head converter too.

Me convenció el oír de tantas personas hablando de él y lo compré y no saben la maravilloso que es estar sin moscos es muy bueno yo se los recomiendo.

Purchased this machine June 2024 worked brilliantly for a year clearing midges in my garden, now just stopped working, a lot of money (£750) for item to only last a year, don't waste your money.

One should be aware befor buying this product that its LPG connector is for USA so needs to be cut off and replaced with European suitable connector. Same with power - sadly it runs on 120 v so you will need a strip down transformer to use in uk. The sellers have not shared this information sadly
