The mosquito magnet saved my yard. We have wetlands on the back of our
property and the mosquitoes were so bad that unless one was standing in
direct sun you were swarmed.

When we put it out the problem was quickly resolved but we didn't get hardly
any mosquitoes in the net. We got it toward the end of the season and
weren't sure why we weren't getting bitten but we could always tell when it
ran out of gas, that's when we'd start to get bitten again. Last year we put
it out first thing in spring and weren't bothered at all, spring, summer and
fall--even though there never seemed to be many bugs in the bag. In addition
to getting the mosquitoes, it collected a ton of little black biting bugs, I
think they are No-See-Ums.

I think the trick is that you have to pay up for the commercial model, I've
seen reports that the home model doesn't have enough suction. I have mine
placed south west of the wetlands.

I wouldn't trade my MM for anything, not even a whole garden of Japanese
Hepaticas.

Kristen and others:

Thanks for the followups. So you think I'd need the pro model? The
Liberty wouldn't do? I'm on about 3/4 of an acre and moneywise I'd
have trouble flipping for the $1200+ Pro model. I guess what I'm
thinking is if I got the Liberty and hung a sweat sock from it like
the other guy recommended

But if I MUST get the PRO model, I guess you gotta do what you gotta
do...

How long does your tank last on yours? a month or so?

P.S. what's a Japanese Hepatica?
