We've got 2 of these propane/CO2 based machines which work pretty well when
they work, but both have died after 18 months to 2 years. Has anyone else
seen this sort of failure rate? A friend at work has had the same sort of
experience.

Wow! thats a faster "enginered redundancy" rate than computers. I mean, at
least the computer still works after 18 months. I could make a lot of bad
jokes about debuging your Flowtron. lol! You realy got ripped off!

Sorry, but having TWO devices engineered to release CO2 to trap bugs IMHO,
is disgraceful! Like we don't have enough CO2 and global warming? What's
wrong with slapping the suckers, or wearing bugbegone, etc....

Burn baby, burn! You're NUTS for having these wasteful indulgent appliances.
This is MY OWN opinion...

Do you really think these traps emit enough to matter? If so,
perhaps you should consider not breathing since you are also
a CO2 emitter.

So are you advocating that we cut down all the trees on the planet, too?
And all green plants?

What a cretin.
