works pretty well but you need to deploy it correctly...
These are great, the only part that is gross it the clean up. I've seen a noticeable difference in the number of mosquitos. I live in a heavily wooded, tree, shade/bush area (see pictures). My biggest recommendation is to make sure you get rid of any sitting water that reduced our problem by 50%. I had to drill small holes in our roof gutters as they weren't draining completely. Another issue I think some people who complain about it not working need to read how to effectively deploy these. I put this device in areas where I get flocked by mosquitos (it's near our pool equipment, prior to deployment I'd get 10-15 on me within seconds) but about 20ft away from where we will be. Most mosquitos don't travel more than 25-40ft from where they hatch. The instructions say to put this 20ft from where you will be, so I put this in vegetation that sits near the pool where I think many of the mosquitos come from. I then went on the other side of the pool and put another Dynatrap about 20ft from where we would be. I have a huge yard (1.5acres) so I figured having two would be enough. We get a TON of bugs, fyi. The mosquito lifecycle is around 6weeks so for maximum effectiveness this needs to run for 5 more weeks but I'd say I'm happy with my purchase. Remember that these are only as effective as how you deploy them! Also make sure the area doesn't have a competing light source. So this is in an extremely dark area at night with no other light so it is a huge beacon. Good luck.
