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.

SkeeterVac SV-27 Mosquito Exterminator, 1-Acre Coverage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We live in an area that has a protected county park right outside our backyard fence. This park is heavily wooded and quite damp as well. This means we have a major mosquito problem. After 8pm we were forced to go inside or be eaten alive. You could easily get 5 bites within 2 minutes after dark.

We tried everything from torches to incense. Nothing really worked all that great. This summer I am pregnant so I am unable to use any sprays that contain deet. That was our main driving factor for wanting a product like the skeeterVac. After looking at MANY different brands (Mosquito Magnet included) We decided to get the SV-27 1 acre version.

We hooked it up and the very first night it caught about 100 mosquitoes. I have to admit I was having fun going out to check on how well it was doing. It only caught maybe 10 during the day, but once the sun went down we brought in the swarms.

Placement is VERY, VERY important. You want to make sure you put it in a shady area near bushes/weeds/flowers or near wet areas. This will help attract the maximum number of bugs. The first place we put it worked out great. Every single night we catch hundreds and hundreds of mosquitoes. We've had it about a week now and already I can notice a difference when going out at night. I'm not swarmed and I can actually sit outside without being eaten alive! I can only imagine this will get better as the weeks go on and we cut down on the mosquito population.

Let me tell you why I think this product works so well and why you should buy this INSTEAD of the more expensive mosquito magnet (or other brands):

First off this unit is CORDLESS! It works on the propane tank and one AA battery. You can place it anywhere you want without having to worry about the cord. (think of what a pain a cord would be when its time to mow the lawn)

Even though its cordless its still quite powerful. Placing your hand near the fan you can easily feel the air that sucks the mosquitoes into the traps. (NOTE, this is the sv-27 1 acre version. The 1/2 acre version does NOT have a fan and may not work as well)

This product uses FIVE methods to attract and kill mosquitoes:

1) CO2
2) Fan suction
3) Scented Bait
4) Sticky paper in mosquito attracting black/white colors. (not found on most other units!)
5) Flashing colored LED lights (not found on most other units!)

These five items make it irresistible to mosquitoes. Now the only time I get bit is when I walk over to the machine to check on how well its working.

Not only does it have more methods of attracting and killing mosquitoes, but its also MORE AFFORDABLE than other brands! Why would you buy anything else??? Another bonus.... the bait in this unit lasts for SIXTY days vs the MM 30 day bait. (Another savings!)

I give this unit 5 stars. It works well and its more affordable than competitors. If you have a big mosquito problem like we did, its worth the investment. I know it seems like a lot, but start keeping track of what you already spend on repellent and you may be able to justify the cost.

*****EDIT*********
I wanted to come back and edit my review to include an update on the product. 3 months after purchase we had problems getting the motor to stay running. It would ignite, the temp needle would climb for about 15 seconds, and then it would go out and the needle would go back down. I was told prior to buying the product that this was a known issue with ALL propane mosquito attractant systems. I bought the skeetervac knowing this might happen, but was reassured that their customer service was excellent. (Another reason I picked SkeeterVac over Mosquito Magnet)

Thankfully the other reviewers were right. Their customer service is GREAT. I called and explained the problem. They told me how to check the fuel filter as well as how to try and blow out the input line with some compressed air. Neither worked, but they were still very helpful and ready to send out a replacement right away! After receiving my receipt proving that I wasn't over my 1 year warrenty, they mailed out a brand new motor! I hooked the motor up on Sunday and its up and running again!

The only con is they do not pay for return shipping. It isn't too bad though b/c I was able to ship the motor back, (I choose to go with UPS) for around $12 (including insurance coverage). You can ship the cheapest way you want as long as you get it back to them, so you may find it cheaper to go with another carrier.

Customer service was friendly and helpful. I still give this unit 5 stars. I knew the failure possibility when buying the machine, but I also knew Blue Rino is the type of company to stand behind their products and properly replace them in an afforadable and timely manner. They were always very friendly and willing to help keep the customer happy! Northline Express does have the best prices on replacement tac traps and bait. We caught SO many mosquitos in just the 3 months we had it running, I was amazed!

Blue Rhino SkeeterVac SV5100 Mosquito Eliminator, 1+-Acre Coverage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned the big skeetervac for about 3 seasons.The first tank it worked great.Then it ran out and I hooked up tank #2.It would not ignite.After reading about this problem and not finding a suitable solution, I decided to just take it apart and see what was inside.

At the gas line end point is the restrictor nozzle.It is a solid cylinder of aluminum about as big as a 35 mm file canister.Inside it is a plastic insert with a tiny outlet where the propane passes through and into the burn chamber.This outlet is about the width of 3 human hairs.I put a few drops of brake cleaner in the nozzle and blew it through with my mouth.

It took a little force, but a tiny chick of rust came out.Then it ran clean with a fine mist spray pattern.

I reassembled and the unit worked perfectly.

This has happened one every tank of fuel.The unit should come with a fuel gauge and a clear warning to NOT run the tank empty.There should also be a very accessible pre-filter.What were they thinking?They had to know this would happen.

I have had to do this procedure each time I ran a tank dry, which is twice per season in Florida.

The next issue was the insulation on the black wire from the spark electrode had partially melted and the spark was jumping out of the wire before reaching the burn chamber.They sypmtom was gas flowing good but no ignition, until a large enough volume of gas accumulated, thenK A - B O O M !!!Nothing was damaged but it was scary, though not scary enough to keep me from doing it 3 more times.

So I replaced the spark electrode, covered the wire in some heat wrap, and the unit is perfect yet again.

Well, actually not perfect because the circuit board on top of the unit is wired with ferrous connectors to the LEDs and they have rotted out.The snap connector is wired with aluminum and it is spotless.I am fairly certain that there are other ferrous connection that I can't see.The unit will effective be dead when they rot out which seems like 3 years is about the limit.But this has not happened so I am not sure.

Why was ferrous material used on the LEDs?Again, bad design.Any outdoor unit should be completely free of ferrous metal, except if it is zinced.This is engineering 101.

Overall, if you are thinking of buying this, follow the recommendation of not letting it run dry.If it runs dry, be prepared to send it in or repair it.

But when it works, it does an excellent job.That is the only reason I spend so much time fooling with it.I live in Tampa on the bay and the bugs here are ferocious.In the summer, without bug spray, I will literally have 20 bugs on my legs within a minute or two.

But the unit, amazingly, obviates the need for spray of any kind.It takes a few weeks to break the reproduction cycle.

On the lighter side, looking inside the full trap is an interesting study in biology.One time, I found this bug in there, it looked like a cross between a mosquito and a horse fly,It was literally, no exaggerations, 3 inches long.I have no idea what it was but when I saw it it was like "O god NOOOOOOO!!!"The stuff of nightmares, and more motivation to keep this bizarre contraption running.

Blue Rhino SV3100 SkeeterVac Mosquito Eliminator, 1-Acre Coverage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well engineered and easy to assemble.Am confident that there won't be rust or weathering issues.

Bought and am using it now with success.Items that might be useful to your purchase decision are propane (16 days to replacement ($19.60 per tank)), supposed to replace tak-trap (approx. $8) also, plus every 30 days the manual suggests replacing the octonal (fine tune) at $17 each, making the monthly price you will be bitten by is approx. $35 per month in maintenance. Its worth it to us, but with an 8 month season (Florida), it isn't cheap.We find it useful to purchase two tanks and get refills both at once to cut down on tank transfers.

Have tipped it over once (backed into it with the golf cart quite fast) and it broke the plastic retention and cover holder into about three pieces and with some super glue, repaired it and it still works.

You'll also need zappers to be rid of flies and other insects since it doesn't seem help with them.

You'll hear some fan type noise but negligible if over 20' from unit.

All together, satisfied with its operation.
