I've used one. They use propane to create carbon dioxide which attracts mosquitoes and traps them in a collector bag. They kill thousands but it only takes a few mosquitoes to still make it uncomfortable so they aren't 100% effective.

I have the mosquito magnet at my cottage which is similar to that model. Nothing is 100% accurate, but the way I look at it, I look at the 1000's of mosquitos in the bag that it killed and thats a few thousand less mosquitos flying around my property.

Last year they had a similar propane-powered device on sales @ Home Depot. The thing is though, you have to run the m continuously 24/7 in order to be effective. Coverage is generally circular with limited range so if you hav ea big property you need several to cover it properly. At min you're supposed to have on in the front and one out back.

Having said that, if I owned a house (I live in a condo) I would buy 2 or more. I hate mosquitos. Anything that kills those little f*ckers is a Good Thing.

I love it when my neighbours use one at the cottage, let them "attract" the mosquitos.

Personally, I try to avoid "attracting" them by wearing lighter coloured clothing with long sleeves, avoiding dawn and dusk and using repellant.

Who in their right mind thinks an attractant is an effective repellant? :rolleyes:

It's been good to know ya
As long as they die. They are no good. Personally I think I would use an attractant that would kill them plus protectant. Keep them away from me and send them to thier death at the same time.

Luring 1,000's of mosquitos out of the bush and onto your property is just silly IMO.

It's like getting rid of squirrels by putting food in the trees.
