This product does what it was intended to do. I put it out over night in my small yard in Long Island and it trapped a lot of bugs. A good mix of all kinds of bugs but mainly mosquitos. It did attract a lot of moths. A lot of moths got into the UV enclosure Almost blocking all the lights. Call the company and They stated that it was a design flaw that will be fix on the next version. But over all I'm happy with it so far. Refer to the photos.

I received it today, so I will wait to see how it does. It's advertised to be more effective against Zika carrying mosquitoes. While we don't have them here yet, we do have a host of other types, including the Asian Tiger; mosquitoes will bite at all times of the day here. This trap is made of plastic and has a molded loop at the top for a hanger, which is not included. The AC adapter is 7 feet long and 120/240 12V/1A. It is well finished and made entirely of plastic. The top lid is 8 inches in diameter, it stands 8 inches tall, and the bottom canister is 5 inches in diameter. It is very light weight and produces almost no noise from the fan. A nice feature is that it uses LED lights, which will likely outlast the plastic, not to mention making it very power efficient. Mosquitoes aren't only attracted to UV, and to specific wavelengths, so it will be interesting to see how they perceive it. It clearly states this is for inside, not meant to be left where it can get wet, so that means it has to be in an enclosed, or covered area. The problem with that is that while you do want it to attract mosquitoes, you also do not want to attract them to the same space you are in, so I am waiting to see how this works out. It works by attracting mosquitoes (in theory) to the UV lights and also a minute amount of CO2 emitted by the titanium dioxide coating. Each type of mosquito is attracted to slightly different things, such as CO2, heat, UV, but none fly well, which is how this trap works: the mosquito is attracted to the light/CO2, is sucked into the perforated bottom container by the fan and being unable to fly out, becomes dessicated, and dies in that chamber. If you open the container and the insects are not dead, they will be able to fly out. They suggest it be placed 4.5-6 feet high. There will be no noise from zapping insects since there is nothing to zap them with. Because it only emits CO2 in tiny amounts, it is safe around people and pets -in the sense of being in the same room, because it's electrical, use the obvious cautions you would for any other similar item. The only way to actually get rid of mosquitoes altogether is to collapse the population, something this will not do, nor, in all fairness, does it say that it will. I think that within an enclosed space, such as a patio, porch or room, that this could attract stragglers that make it in; in an unenclosed space, such as a patio, or porch, I do not believe it will make a significant difference if there are numbers of mosquitoes. I have nothing to do with the company and I was NOT given anything for this review, these are my thoughts that I hope will be helpful to someone contemplating purchasing this. If I find a reasonable number of mosquitoes in the trap I will change the stars, likewise if I find few, or none. I would really like for this to be effective, time will tell.Update day 2: I realize it isn't a long time, but I'm interested in how it does over time. My suspicions were that it would largely catch flying insects, which it did -moths love UV light, however there was only one mosquito caught in a 24 hour period, and there are mosquito species here active at all hours -lots of them. It may be that a lure, such as octenol or lurex might augment this, but there is also the basic problem of killing useful, or benign insects, which is counter-productive and pointless, they have their place in the ecosystem and do no harm. If I kept this, which I will not, I would cover it with lathe, or screen large enough for mosquitoes, but not for larger moths/beetles, but since this is all it seems to capture, I have no use for it.An addition to the review: This is not directed at any person, but rather to Amazon; the reviews from those who have been given merchandise, or a discount price, should be placed in a separate section, at least of stars, from those who have purchased the item at full price. I depend upon reviews and sometimes find it more troublesome than it should be to sift through them for my purposes, rather than being able to easily compare them. Bottom line, while it does catch moths, it is advertised as a mosquito trap and does not fulfill that function at my location in the US south. If it cannot attract mosquitoes effectively and efficiently outside, then I fail to see how it could do so inside. For that reason I am lowering the stars to 2.

I received the trap yesterday. At first, it seemed the box was empty, but the item is very light. It's mostly plastic, a small fan, a few LED's and a little bit of metal. I woke up the next morning to see that it has caught a few moths. One of the moths made it behind the plastic cover covering the LED's! The manufacturer has noted this design flaw and is 'supposedly' fixing it in their next batch.As of now, I am on the fence with this trap. I know it's only been a day, but I know that I will have to eventually clean out the dead moths that are blocking the LED's. Previous reviewer said that he took it apart to clean them out, but doesn't know how many 'cleanings' can be done before something breaks. I am thinking that I need to apply some clear silicone around the edges to keep them from getting in. I will wait for a few weeks before I do this. It might be returning it.And, what's with all of the 'so-called' reviews of people receiving it for free or at a discount? Don't they all seem 'staged' with a default disclaimer (A few are worded different). I think Amazon needs to review this tactic. I for one, think the majority of the reviews are misleading. If the people actually paid for it, the reviews would be more realistic.The 1 star is for the unrealistic reviews that the manufacturer has created for themselves!! Caveat Emptor! This review is from a verified purchaser and is not staged/fake!!

I can't speak for longevity because I just got it, but after about 20 hours running I have at least 30-50 mosquitos in the chamber.It also caught some flies as other bugs but no ladybugs or beneficial insects that worries me.Really impressed and can't wait to enjoy the garden without these bastards getting in the way.I will update this if anything changes.

Ok...so, it IS catching bugs. And I've had it up and running for 10 days now.My daughter has been bitten by mosquitoes at night in her room while sleeping (not sure how they're getting in) so I thought I'd give this a try. I was a bit skeptical upon purchase, but it seems to be working. There are some moths and mosquitoes dead in there and no bites on my daughter.The fan is very quiet and the light doesn't bother her at all (we have it up on top of her wardrobe).I will say this though: It's working, but the unit doesn't seem $50 worth of quality (maybe $25) because it's mostly just lightweight plastic. But if it's working, I guess it's $50 worth of 'worth it'. *Shrug*

This isn't really for outdoor use, kind of useless because that's where the mosquitoes are. I put it in my Chicken coop do it won't get wet.I really wanted to use it for my whole back yard. UPDATE: After using for several weeks now, I have to say I am much happier there are no flying insects left in my chicken coop. So I would highly recommend for COVERED areas, chicken coops, covered porches etc.. Incorporate the power supply into the housing and make it more outdoor friendly should not be a great engineering leap. I am buying another one for my other chicken coop.

After 1 night, Collects bugs nicely. No noise and a nice and long power cord. will update after a week or 2. Reason for 4 star instead of 5 is that moths get into the light area.1 month and 1 week later (and now a 1 star review) and this product is going back. never noticed any decrease in biting insects, just moths. lots of moths were collected. and junebugs when those were around. But i don't think it attracted and captured a single mosquito
