Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don’t often write reviews, but with so many conflicting ones for this product, I thought I’d weigh in. I live in GA, where mosquito season runs from March to November, with a creek that runs thru my backyard that creates a perfect nesting ground for the little Suckers. My yard was at times intolerable, for me, my guests and my pups. I went out on a limb, in spite of conflicting reviews and tried Dynatrap- and I don’t regret it! I even purchased a second unit for my parents a month later, I was so impressed. A few thoughts: -Read the instructions!! Do not install the unit where you are most, it attracts the bugs so doing so attracts them to you. Mine is on a post, approximately 12ft out from my patio, and this seems to work well. -I leave it plugged in and turned on all the time. I unplugged it and brought it in over winter, right before a snow/ice storm and brought it back out as soon as temps began consistently staying about freezing. -I empty it every few days; it does attract mostly moths and mosquitoes. I was concerned about it killing beneficial bugs and pollinators, as I do garden, but that has not been an issue in the year I’ve used it so far. -It’s not perfect, there are still a few mosquitoes here and there, but not many. I’ve been sitting on my patio for nearly 2 hours, as I type and have yet to get a bite. I call that a win!
