DynaTrap DT1775 1 Acre Mosquito & Flying Insect Trap – Kills Mosquitoes, Flies, Wasps, Gnats, & Other Flying Insects - Bug Zapper Alternative - Black

Does a great job killing those skeeters.

Hi All,So I bought this thing back in 2017 and I'm just now writing a review because I'm absolutely frustrated with the, not poor performance, but the no performance on Mosquitos. I bought this unit because I live in West Texas and I am sick and tired of being eaten alive by Mosquitos. Hooked it up and it caught tons of moths at our old house. My wife finally had me take it down because it wasn't working. Well here it is in 2021 and we bought a different house. This year for some reason we have had and continue to have a very wet summer and the Mosquitoes are out in droves. For example last night I went outside around 7:30 PM, (still light outside) to clean the pools filter, (maybe 10 minutes total) and in that short period of time I was bitten 15-20 times, (nothing like itching bumps all over to encourage a restful night of sleep). So I decided to try to hook this thing up again to see if it works. So I got it out of the garage and hooked it up in the back yard. Now you did read the part where I said there are Mosquitos in droves, like clouds of them. The unit ran all night long and it caught a ton of moths, and a few other little bug, but it didn't catch one single itty, bitty teeny, tiny Mosquito, NOT ONE!! This thing is total junk, and it does not work as advertised. I see some positive reviews, not sure where those are coming from, maybe the Mosquitoes are smarter in West Texas. Somebody should probably sue them for false advertising PLEASE do yourself a favor and avoid this device like a plague of Mosquitoes.And it's not cheap, I paid $110.00 dollars for it.Itchy in TexasUpdate: I called the company prior to posting this review to see if maybe I had a defective unit or if there was something I could do to make it work better. They only suggestion is that I buy their expensive packets of attractant to try and lure mosquitos into the trap, which of course even if it works has to be replaced every 30-60 days. I read reviews of the attractant and a lot of people claim its worthless. This device is a complete scam and I am considering filing a complaint with the BBB and other consumer protection agencies. I will never buy another product from DynaTrap again.

This upgrade DT1775 model is superior to the DT1770, which I was already impressed with and had running for several years, non-stop. The fan finally quit. I live in buggy Florida and there are few solutions to the pests if you don't have a screened patio. A couple weeks after installing this, the patio has no pesky bugs! I still have to cancel our mosquito spray service to see if this device can do it all, but we've had mosquitos and other biting insects for years even with the service. The 1770 visually collected tons of insects so you knew it was working. This one, however, results in no flying insects being a bother. Over the years we've developed the habit of avoiding the patio. We are trying to break that habit. Look closely at my photos and you will see it captured a mosquito on the first day. The unit is far brighter than the old one, which might be a nuisance. For us, not so much as it is placed on the other side of a low outdoor wall from the patio. I don't like replacing the bulbs but I think that is the best option considering power, life, and other tradeoffs. I bought several bulbs and the upgrade allowed me to keep what I had purchased in advance. The diffuser in the DT1770 had to be replaced once somewhat early in it's life, but I think since then they improved the material. A major advantage (even at that time). This unit seems to be extremely effective, but as I mentioned, I have to dare to terminate the monthly service, which I'm not really up to doing, yet. Also, except for the four and a half foot wall, our unit is only 10 to 30 feet from the patio living space, not as far as the instructions say. I'd say that if space allows, even a skeptic should try it if they can return it in 30 days if not satisfied. Mostly preassembled, just add the bulb, I think. Should be easy to return.

Worked great for a month. Caught several months, mosquitoes and biting flies, even a few horse flies. It was hung in a lean-to of a barn. UNFORTUNATELY, It only worked for a month. Then the light went out. Purchased another light bulb, which took 3 weeks to arrive. Of course, by the time the bulb arrived, the warranty was expired and I can no longer return.It is also difficult to remove / replace the bulb. There are 3 small screws that need to be removed within the casing - very little room and I have small hands. ALSO, when the basket is full there should be another means of removing the dead bugs - there are still live bugs in the basket (takes 24 hours for them to starve/die); when twisting the bub basket off it is difficult to hold on to and all the live bugs fly away. Ideally, some hole or something to drop or vacuum bugs out would be better. OR a handle to help hold the large basket while twisting.////// UPDATE ///// August 2021 ////////////Contacted the company via e-mail. They immediately sent me a call tag and a new unit within 2 weeks - NO charge to me! So far the new unit is working great. It has caught several mosquitoes (& some moths) in the past week. Very happy to have this unit back as the bugs have taken over without it the past month.

I will start by saying the product itself was great, drastic reduction in bugs. Lots of moths were caught, which wasn't my reason for getting it but it worked out just fine.We put it away for the winter and went to pull in out this spring, light turned on but fan wouldn't work.We took it apart because their site says that the motor can get gummed up and will require a cleaning, even after that it wouldn't work. Was worried because I just spent over 180 less than a year ago.Emailed customer service received a response within 1 hour, and had a replacement at my front door two days later!! Just wow!! Never expected that they honor their warranty and they are an amazing company. BUY IT!!

It is huge and mosquitos don't come running. I suspect the CO2 volume is too low.
