SoCal sanity restored!
This device is helping me to regain my sanity in SoCal. I had been getting red welts all over my ankles and some on my hands and face. I had no idea what the heck was biting me and thought I had bed bugs!!! I bought flea traps / bed bug interceptors / diamateous earth / this beautiful thing. I ran this device overnight while I was at work and checked it in the morning to find 2 of the tiniest mosquitos I've ever seen stuck in the glue. Doing some quick research, it turns out there are two new species of mosquito invading my area (The Aedes Tiger mosquito) and they bite aggressively in the day primarily on the ankles. I can't put into words how good the feeling is to finally solve a mystery like this. Things it has caught: -Aedes Tiger mosquitoes (new species) -Culex mosquitoes (native species) -No-See-Ums (Biting midges) -Indian Meal Moths (our entire neighborhood got infested by these because of a tainted bag of bird seed) -Gnats The power requirement is very low 5V/1A (provided by a usb cable + power charger). This means that you could feasibly make it portable and run this off of a power bank. Its also super quiet. The only downside I can find is that the UV light fluctuates in intensity occasionally which can make it hard to fall asleep with it on within eyesight. Also, the UV light is not as strong of a lure as the CO2 emitted when you exhale so this device is best used to clear out rooms that don't currently have occupants in them (I.e. if using it in your bedroom, darken the room first and run this for a few hours while you aren't in the room). As another poster said, you can buy your own sticky sheets and custom cut out replacement sticky pads for a savings of 50% on buying the brand-name sticky pads.
