Works great!

Lemme just start off by saying that this would be a 5 star review if the cord were a little longer. I say this because it's so short the mosquito trap sits on the porch with us. I think that if we're off of the porch 3 feet in front of us it wouldn't allow the mosquitoes/bugs to come all the way past us to get to the zapper! Other than that this does a GREAT job of killing bugs!! I take that bottomed “death trap” off and it is FULL of bugs! I see tons of moths, mosquitos, wasps, June bugs, you name it! If it flies, it dies!! Actually, I saw a couple stink bugs in there and didn't know they could fly! I'm guessing the crawled towards the light! Zzzt! Gone! This one I have I've used without any problems for 3 years! If you think it's not working look in that death trap and you'll get confirmation from all of the carnage!! Not sure why this isn't getting better reviews. ? Maybe because mine stays on the porch out of the storms? I guess there may be one aldcantage to the shorter cord!? ;) Get it; I like it!

Fans quit after 2 weeks

I bought 3 of these. For the first 2 weeks they worked great. Eliminated mosquitos. Sadly 2 of them have already had the fan quit. I wrote to their customer service to get warranty replacement. They have completely ignored me. Very expensive when you consider two thirds of them quit working. I'm disappointed because they had such a good 2 week start.

Look for something else

Worked ok till the fan quit working, checked on their website (many times) and called (got the run around), all parts are out of stock. They did offer me a 15% discount on another product, but why would I spend more money on something that can never be repaired. This tells me that they want to sell you another one instead of being able to fix the one you have.

Junk

It worked well for a year as evidenced by the number of flies caught in the basket. But two months out of warranty, the fan went out of balance for some reason, and it wouldn't work correctly. I was told by the company to get lost, they don't sell parts and its out of warranty.

Has a really nice glow to it

For about $100 you can have this amazingly overpriced beautiful night light, because that's pretty much all its good for unfortunately. It's caught a few moths in the past week and one or two flies but our problem is bees and mosquitos. Bees are still harrassing us and you can see a swarm of mosquitos following our chickens around not 10 feet from the dyna-not-a-trap. I'll be returning this asap.

expect to work only 14 months

the fan went out 1 year and 2 months after I bought it…customer support said I have to buy a new one. Sent a 15% discount off the next one…woohoo Didn't even get to use the 2 replaceable bulbs. Was only used during the spring summer fall months…April to October.. Why would I buy another one of these faulty devices? Especially from a company that doesn't stand beside there product and the customer support isn't for the customer.

I am sorry to hear about the trap! The trap is backed and supported by our 1 year replacement policy. Unfortunately if it is beyond that period, a new trap will need to be purchased.

Doesn't catch mosquitoes

Bought this to help with the gazillion mosquitoes in our yard. It catches June bugs and moths quite well but doesn't really catch any mosquitoes. So I guess if you need to get rid of June bugs or moths, this really does work great for that! Unfortunately it doesn't really attract any other bugs.

For best results, we recommend placing your trap 20-40 feet from where you are spending time in your yard, and close to mosquito breeding areas. Adding our attractant will help increase your catch as well. Please give us a call at 877-403-8727 so we can learn more about your specific situation and offer additional assistance.

Hard worker

I bought this over 2 years ago and it worked continuously. The bulb burned out and I decided to clean it while changing the bulb. When I restarted it, the fan was very noisy so I checked it for stuck bugs (or small frogs). I discovered that the base of the fan had cracked in several places and falling apart. I was impressed by the number of bugs it collected-no bees. More than an acre was cleared. The pole eventually broke at the joined part but I fixed it. I would love to replace the fan not the motor if possible?

Does its job.

Bought one two years ago, Does its job well in reducing flies, knats, moths and mosquitos. Not so great on wasps. Let it run 24 hours per day and may empty it once a week or so. A few live ones still in it but could do better if a covered it with a plastic bag when taking the trap bin off. Changing the bulb can be a challenge when having to turn to unit upside down to take our the four screws that hold the fan and frame but not that difficult once you ge the hang of it. (Directions could be better.) Bought a second one last year to supplement and clear another area. Did find that the fan stopped once, but upon investigtion found a larger bug had gotten jammed brtween the edge of one of the blades and the housing. Cleared it and the fan ran again just fine. (Found that taking the trap cage off and carefully giving the fan a little nudge with an old chopstick rowked great,) They seem to survive rain and storms pretty well - though - a high wind blew one over next the house and snapped the unit off the pole. Going to Sams to replace it.

It helps me with bugs of all sorts

I have had this bug machine for two months. It does fill up in about 5 days and I have to dump and yes some are not dead yet but that is how this works. It seems to keep misquotes down for me as well as moths. Plus it is a nice little night light for the dogs to go out on the deck in the back. It came with extra bulbs and I have not had to change that yet. I am happy with my purchase.
