DynaTrap DT160 1/4 Acre Mosquito Trap & Flying Insect Trap – Kills Mosquitoes, Flies, Gnats, Wasps, & Other Flying Insects – Mosquito Zapper & Bug Zapper Outdoor Alternative – Black

I don’t write many reviews but I had to go out of my way to do this one. It Works! We have issues in our garage with mosquitos and flying insects. Immediately on start up it was working. We use this garage door a lot and wanted to stop mosquitos from coming in and we have not had any issues after we started using this catcher. I think these things work best in a more closed environment, like the garage. If you set it outside it’s going to keep catching but you may not see a reduction of insects since they can continue to keep coming forever. Overall please and if don’t believe the images just try it yourself and return it if you don’t like it.

I purchased this Dyna Trap and a larger one about the same time for home and our cottage. I figured I would use the larger one for home and this smaller DT160SR at our cottage. I can say I'm not impressed by the light output on this unit, I can barely see that it is illuminated. I ran some tests, using the same location I used this DT160SR for a week and then used the larger DT1050SR for a week. Conditions were similar and bug situation was similar except the last day or so of the DT1050SR seemed like less bugs were out. The DT160SR had caught some, but the DT1050SR caught probably 2-3 times as many even with having a day or so of less bug activity. I noticed the DT1050SR drew a lot more bug activity due to a much brighter light, the DT160SR barely drew any bugs nearby, while I was checking I had a lot more swarm me and I made sure no lights were on. I know that test is not an apples to apples comparison but bottom line the DT160SR just didn't attract the bugs with its extremely dim light. I will say the DT160SR design with flaps to hold bugs in is nice because when power is shut off live ones won't fly back out, could put the unit on a timer so it runs evening through dawn for example and not have them flying out in the morning. Also it doesn't look like the bulb is replaceable, I wasn't able to locate where I could purchase a replacement either. Overall I would opt out of buying this unit because it doesn't do a good job achieving its objective. Go for one with a larger bulb that they have replacements available. Have to add that the bulb didn’t even last 1/10 the life they claim. Website says 20,000 hrs. I may have gotten 500 hours total. They have a real issue with bulbs. I like the idea of the devices. But their claims on life of the bulbs are fraud.

The product is super easy to use. There is no on/off switch. Just plug it in and it works. I have it plugged into a Kasa SmartPlug that I have set on a timer for night time. I keep my window open at night to get fresh air coming in. I don't have a screen. The mosquitos were eating me alive until I got this. The only problem I have is it kills moths. I don't have a problem with moths. The moths fly in then fly out. The mosquitos population has gone down since I got this. I didn't need to use is last night because it did it's job. The bottom unscrews and the part with the flaps comes off. I dump it out the window or I dump it on my fly trap.

Not sure if this should be 3 or 4 stars. It works. Catches lots of bugs. The problem is the fan blades inevitably hit a lot of bugs and the bug guts build up on the fan blades and housing and causes the fan to get stuck. I go out in the morning, the basket has plenty of bugs, but the fan is stuck, not spinning. I have to clean it, not just empty it, but clean out the bug build up on the fan blades and housing almost every morning. Seems like a little more clearance from the housing walls would solve the problem. It does work though. No complaints there.

Mosquitoes aren't attracted to this trap. I even tried mosquito lure bait and the mosquitoes just aren't interested except for the lone one that gets too close and sucked in. The mosquito love my black colored puppy which makes me think they camp out in the grass lawn. I'm hopeful for the Spartan traps, dunks, and natural repellent grain. Maybe the dunks will kill enough to stop the breeding cycle. Btw, I read mosquitoes aren't attracted to the dynatrap light. This makes sense because the light breaksdown the CO2 which mosquitoes are attracted to. Spartan mosquito traps: After 1 month using a set of two spaced 75 feet apart 5.5ft of the ground in dense mosquito territory: Between the two traps: they caught zero mosquitoes, 5 ants, 6 spiders. Very disappointed. My area is home to about 10 different mosquito types. I also tried qty 2 Dynatraps (even with mosquito lure, they only caught the aimless mosquito which got too close to the suction fan; they didn't make an impact). I also tried planting citronella which doesn't do anything unless it's cut, processed, liquefied and applied to your skin; too much work. I'm hopeful for mosquito dunks in nearby pond, first batch/month didn't seem to do much; trying second batch. Next endeavor is to encourage dragonflies which eat mosquitoes or mosquito fish. Last resort is industrial spray backyard. Update: Attached photos after 2.5 months usage of two traps 100 feet apart in summer SC area with wooded backyard, grass, overflow pond. Spartan traps did nothing (embarrassment). Mosquito dunks: questionable results, not convinced. Powdered granular natural repellent is just short lived and not worth the cost. Next tests will be: increasing dragonfly population and propane driven repellent.

It's working perfectly! This is the second one I've purchased. It's quiet, east to open to empty. Not crazy about a cord but better than having to remember to charge it!

I've been using this a few years and have decided to take it down. This is extremely effective at catching moths and also gets a few flys and beetles, but it's advertised as a solution to get mosquitoes and it completely fails to do that. If you want to catch lots of moths buy it, but don't expect this to have any significant impact on your mosquito problem, if your lucky it might catch a couple all season, but it's not really putting a dent on their population. My results have been 95% or more of what it catches are moths. I never even realized I had many moths until it started filling up with them.

Love it. & works very excellent DynaTrap DT160 1/4 Acre Mosquito Trap & Flying Insect Trap – Kills Mosquitoes,

The one snag is that it’s not a UK plug so you’ll need an adapter for US to UK. BUT from the moment this was started up it started catching fruit flies and gnats. The UV light is dim and I put some yellow sticky fly catching paper in the bottom myself, but overall it’s doing a great job. One other thing is that the bulb is non replaceable which means the units lifespan is that of the bulb and I am glad I got a ‘used good as new’ as I don’t think it’s worth full price.

cae de todo !

Não faz o que alega. Moscas e mosquitos continuam bem vivos. Apanha muitas traças. Muito caro para o que é.

The claim that this unit produces carbon dioxide (and hence ATTRACTS mosquitoes) is highly dubious. True, the units traps stray mosquitoes that venture near it. But so do other similar products that cost one-fifth of the price. Forget one-fourth acre, the unit is NOT effective over an area of 30 square meters in ideal conditions (operating at least two hours in complete ambient darkness without human presence). It certainly does not 'attract' mosquitoes, hence the claim that it produces carbon dioxide is suspect. It only traps stray mosquitoes that are attracted to it by its light -- at four or five times the cost of similar products that are just as effective.
