They work. but here is the deal. you gotta set em up and get them
running in spring BEFORE mosquitoes start biting. the idea is the
magnet attracts the females and kills them. that ALSO kills all her
offspring on down the line. you MUST keep up on the maintenance,
including using a CO2 can to clear the jets. and replace the propane
tank on schedule. and just because you dont see many skeeters in the
bag doesnt mean it is time to slack off.

placement of the unit is important for good control. we found the
shaded side of a garage, under a tree to be ideal. cool, moist.

the dacha is above a swamp. mosquitoes were a horror for all my years
growing up. my mother had a wrap around porch with screens built so we
could at least sit outside and enjoy her gardens. when she gardened
she wore multiple layers of clothes, repellant and screen hat to ward
off the critters. we bought the MM only two years before she died,
but those two years were almost mosquito free for her gardening (and
picking raspberries!). Ingrid

We just bought a Mosquito Magnet out of desperation. Sounds too good to

Does anyone out there have any experience with these?

A search on line is very unrewarding. All the reviews I could find are
glowing anecdotal ones and the serious ones all seem to say they could
not be independently verified.... the sort of stuff that would keep me
from purchasing normally.

It certainly is attracting mosquitoes and there are a lot in the bag but
filling it in a week just isn't going to happen.

Any thoughts?
