Did the Mosquito Magnet work? What were the results after several weeks?

we got one for my mothers house (uphill from a swamp) where it is
impossible to be
outside during the day there are so many. the concept behind the
"magnets" is one of
attrition. kill off enough females, even delay the females from finding a
blood meal
long enough by confusion with the heat and CO2 and she will drop dead/wont
lay eggs
that make more mosquitos.
the device is placed well away from were humans are, to draw them off
the device must be run 24/7 all summer long
it states quite clearly it takes weeks in heavily infested areas to crash
the
population.
surprisingly enough, the people who said it was working did not find many
skeeters in
the bags. altho I dont know how long a "body" would last being desiccated
and shoved
around in a bag.
the people who were saying it didnt work were usually looking in the bag
for bodies,
and had not been running it very long before they returned it.

The one thing commonly noted about this device
though is that there are never any mosquitoes on the sticky paper. I
don't
know where they get all those skeeters in the commercials, but I never
see
any on there.
