Product Description
Don't spend another summer covered in bug spray or trapped indoors. Enjoy your backyard protected by the Mosquito Magnet. Sprays, candles and lotions offer only temporary relief from mosquitoes and biting insects. The Mosquito Magnet biting insect trap is a long-term solution that is scientifically proven to virtually eliminate mosquitoes from your yard. It mimics a human by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide (CO2), heat and moisture, and a short-range attractant, octenol. This precise combination is irresistible to female mosquitoes (the ones that bite), no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies, and sandflies. As the mosquito approaches the trap hoping for a human, it is quietly vacuumed into a net where it dehydrates and dies. Silent, odorless, no mess. By using the Mosquito Magnet continuously throughout the mosquito season, you will be able to capture both day- and night-biting mosquitoes, thereby drastically reducing the mosquito population in your yard. 50-Foot low voltage cord included (burying clips included) Sled base Uses Octanol attractant One-year warranty Refill propane tank and replace attractant every 21 days. Empty net as needed.

 Don't buy this rip off August 12, 2008
Paul Lowder (Evanston, IL USA)
I ran it for three summers total - bought expensive tanks of propane (about 3 per summer) and the replacement attractants... to catch a grand total of 10 mosquitos.
A rolled up newspaper is cheaper, as is going inside.
 does the job August 11, 2008

the service was excellent. the product seems to be working. there are still some mosquitos but no wheres near the swarming plague that we normally get!!!
Not worth it August 2, 2008
Harry (Louisiana)
The product captured a few mosquitoes for 3 weeks after I tried to switch out the tank, it failed to work. After multiple phone calls with tech support I was told I need original receipt from purchase (I could not locate it) to have it serviced. Returned the item to Home Depot for in store credit and bought some candles and mosquito repellent. It doesn't work and it's not worth the hassle trying to fix it. Maybe the company can redesign it to have better results.

Expensive hunk of junk. Orig. purchase date Nov. 2006, after the first one we'd bought quit working just a little after the warranty period ended. The 'head' on this Defender has been repaired three times and replaced twice. If you get a replacement head from them, there is no additional warranty past your original purchase date (even though they sent you a new one!). Save your money for something else. Ours is dead again. We purchased an inexpensive replacement plan through Amazon, but we're done with the Defender-we're throwing it away.
Works real good when it works July 7, 2008

In the 1st year they replaced my unit after 6 months, that unit worked 2 years with no problems. I get into my 2nd tank of gas this year and the unit craps out. I did all the tricks with no results, this ones a goner.
A device that costs this much should last at least 5 years.
Forget the class action, the lawyers get a big payday and we get a coupon for a free box of Octenol, yea right.
I realize that this is not a repair thread but I feel the need to pass this on:
I had a code on my unit that said the unit was not getting enough gas (slow blinking red). I read on another site where one guy attached a shop vac to the horn and got his unit to work. I did the same with my sears shop vac, pushed it into the horn area (without the bait in and where the octenol is) and turned the shop vac on for a few minutes. My machine now works. I would recommend doing this with a large vac due the large vacuum you get. Better than spending $200 for a repair person.
