DynaTrap Tungsten DT160-TUN ¼ Acre Decora Outdoor Mosquito and Insect Trap

Not worth the money. Does ok job catches more moths then any other flying insects. It says it covers 1/4 of an acre of land. I doubt that. Comes with a 2 pin plug so you have to buy an adapter before you can use it.

Edited May 22, 2025 I am so pleased with this Dynatrap! It really is whisper quiet which makes for a relaxing atmosphere out on the patio! After one day there were more critters in there than expected! (See the photo inside the basket) Of course most are moths, but there are mosquitoes in there too!! I experimented by placing a glue board in the basket, hoping to reduce the chance of live insects flying out after opening it for emptying, but it happened anyway. Live and learn. 🤷 So far, I highly recommend the Dynatrap! It is a quality product. Worth your money! And best of all it looks like a very nice lantern. Form AND function.....The Designer in me is satisfied! 🙂 Note: Take heed on the recommended distance to place it away from gathering areas. In my photos, it was placed about 15 feet from the patio table and we became a snack for critters making their way to the trap. 🤦 So we placed it around, and 12 feet away from, the corner of the same structure in the photos. We live in a century home and we're limited with placement due to the location of the electrical outlet, (Think very long, heavy-duty extension cords 😅) but it was still effective last year. I'm very happy! 🙂

After just over two (2) years of use I discover that the bulb in this unit is NOT replaceable by the buyer. Now the problem is the advertising states a 20,000 hours life. Advertising also states users should expect to the trap run 24/7. 20,000 hours divided by 24 hours per day equals 833 days of continous use, i.e. 24/7 operations. However, I unplugged mine on October (Halleen) and stored indoors. On April 1 I brought it out of storage and plugged it back in. So, I got about two (2) years of use (about 2 years give or take) that, yes, did seem to help our patio area. So, yes, I am disappointed that I cannot replace the bulb but, $36 divided by 2 years is only $18/year. Will I buy another one, yes but, this time I'll make sure I buy a newer model that can have the bulb replaced. THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS EXPECTED.

A friend recommended these. We bought one of the 1/2 acres versions, and liked it so much, we bought a second 1/2 acre and this 1/4 acre. They do capture a lot of moths and hopefully mosquitoes, and it is easy to empty the capture tray on the 1/2 acre. It is annoying to empty THIS 1/4 ACRE version. Just note that the 1/2 acre version has a much more robust cord that the 1/4 acre. I wouldn't buy the 1/4 acre again for anything, it's power supply is cheaply made and you have to use a power adapter for it, so you can't really use it out of door, or at least only on your covered patio.

This is the third one of these we have purchased and have up in our house. We appreciate the way the catch any little bug that comes in rather it is a gnat or a fly or moth it is attracted to the light and soon gets trapped inside. They are pretty, for bug catchers, and we bring them out every summer when the little flying creatures start flying around. If you have irritating flying things, you need one of these.

A+
