Lentek BV01 Rechargeable Cordless Handheld Bug Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my elderly mother, who lives right at the edge of a tiny town, and has a parade of bugs across the living room all summer.

The unit is a bit heavy for a person with declining hand strength, and the handle is a bit too thick. It would be better if it had some type of grip where you put your hand through an opening.

It works OK for small and medium size bugs on the floor or wall. Mother has lots of cellar spiders, and it's hard to capture them, because they build webs where the wall meets the ceiling. The webs also get into the unit. She also had an attack of ants, but again, they tend to make their trail in hard to get at places. They also invaded the kitchen counter, but it's awkward to use the unit at that height.

The big problem is that it does not kill larger bugs. I left the unit with her for a week, and she picked up a black widow. When I opened the unit, the spider was alive and well, and had made an egg sac.

I tried it on some large bugs that invade my home each summer - so-called "water bugs," but I think they're a member of the cockroach family. It picks them up fine, but does not kill them.

So analyze your needs before you buy. If most of your bugs are on the floor, and you don't care if the unit kills them or not, it should be OK. Also consider your hand strength and ability to grip the fairly fat, tapered handle.

Viatek MK01G Mosquito Fast Trap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We live in the woods, I put on this device for 1 week, and it only trapped couple of moths, and maybe 10 mosquitoes. Couple of those escaped again, when I opened the trap basket. So I'm not sure what is the purpose of this, only maybe you could use it in the patio...not in the open backyard.

Mega-Catch Premier Mosquito Trap (MCP800) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This trap does not use CO2 --- a proven attractant -- to lure mosquitoes. It instead uses an ultra-violet bulb reflecting off a foil surface.

A very appealing idea, because you dispense with the expense and hassle of setting up gas canisters.

Alas, it is way too good to be true. Desparate for a solution and lacking a local source of propane, I was ready to believe the carefully crafted Internet marketing material that appears everywhere in connection with this trap. Don't make the same mistake.

Mosquitoes are *not* attracted to light (although a few species will look for a lighted surface to land on for the first day or two after the larval stage, when they are not biting anyway). After weeks of searching, the only source I could find claiming that light attracts adult female mosquitoes -- the ones that bite -- is the "independent" scientist Megacatch quotes on its site to sell these traps. That person has ignored by emails.

We carefully tested this trap over four weeks in a subtropical forest in Hong Kong, which has a climate and mosquito complement similar to that found in Florida or Alabama. We have at least seven distinct species in our yard, including varieties of Aedes and Bengalensus and Sinensis. There are probably a dozen more species I've yet to trap and analyze. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of mosquitoes swarm the property every evening, with Culex coming out during the day.

Without the octenol lure, the adult mosquito catch was ZERO (although the moth haul was huge). There was a marginal haul of five or six mosquitoes per day with the octenol lure, fewer than I can kill with my bare hands in just a minute or two. All the mosquitoes trapped so far have been Culex --- large striped, very aggressive day biters.

After a month, I am ready to face the obvious.

The company's politely worded response to my findings is that the trap has been "proven" effective, but our particular assortment of mosquitoes are resistant to it somehow.

Rubbish. The literature shows clearly that all mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and a variety of biochemical scents given off by mammals, not circus lights.

An internet search on this trap will lead you to a couple of very well placed articles lauding its utility. Many of the reviews on the site also rave about how good it is. Wishful thinking? Outright marketing plants? A hiterto unknown species of mosquito? I can only guess.

But I can say without hesitation that the Megacatch Premier, placed in a subtropical setting with an enormous variety of mosquitoes at its disposal, failed absolutely. Perhaps the more expensive version, which uses CO2 gas directly, might be useful, but I am unwilling to reward this company with my further business.

Universal Pest Solutions ACM3100 AllClear Cordless Mosquito Mister Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We wanted this product based on several other reviews and our own mosquito "issue" at our home. The first model that we received had defective nozzles. Their customer support sent new ones. Once installed the plastic base had several fractures which leaked when spraying. I contacted TS once again and they immediately sent a new replacement. It works great, as did their customer support department! It definitely keeps the mosquitoes away.

Rush Hampton 61001 Mosquito Catcher, Metal, Single Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading tons of reviews on various Mosquito trap technologies, I was skeptical that this one was any different.Since the price was only around $90 I figured it was the cheapest 'gamble' out there, so I bought it and put it in my backyard, which has been pretty much unusable since June due to the aggressive Mosquito population.

Sure enough, I have emptied hundreds of mosquitos out of the drawer in the 3 weeks I have had it installed.My highest total in a day was 50.My lowest total in a day was 3 when I decided to add an Octenol bait to this trap...which acted as a repellant as far as I can tell.This trap definitely works better in the dark when the little blue lights show up better.

There are still mosquitos in my backyard, and I still get bit.I think mosquito conditions are so bad that even after catching hundreds of them it hasn't had a significant positive effect yet.

One word of advice I would like to give...place this trap away from any area you want to use.I moved it from the yard to my deck for a brief time, and it was a bad idea.All the mosquitos from the yard were on my deck suddenly.Yikes!

We are nearing the end of Mosquito season in Atlanta as cool Fall temperatures arrive, so it will be hard to judge what effect removing a few hundred mosquitos will have.I am anxious to see how the Mosquito Catcher works next summer during the height of the Mosquito frenzy.

Anyway, if you've been wanting something to catch mosquitos with, but have been afraid of the prices, this is a product that can have positive results without breaking the bank.
