 Works so far July 4, 2006

Caught hundreds of mosquitos in one night, looks like moths are in there too. Maybe they are after the light inside?
My yard seems to be better to be in, but still getting bitten guess next few weeks will tell.
I paid 1200 for Commercial Pro Mosquito Magnet 2 years ago and it is in the dump now. Biophysics did not stand by there product. So gave this much cheaper option a try. Deep Woods OFF is still my best defense.
 Great concept, environmentally responsible May 22, 2007

We purchased this item early in the season in hopes of getting ahead of the swarms of biting flies and we aren't disappointed at all. Given the great price, two of these would be better but one will do well enough for this year. We considered spraying pesticide because of the constantly wet areas around our home and the large percentage of time we spend outdoors but were concerned about the long term effects. While there are "natural" products available, their effectiveness is limited and the price is high. For us, this made sense. There is no expensive propane to refill, it runs on low voltage current and is hardly audible. The results are not instant because it takes a while to make a dent in the mosquito and black fly breeding population but the longer we run it, the fewer flies we have to deal with. The seller we purchased from has the best price anywhere too.

I ran this thing all year long here in Southern California. Its effect was fantastic. I had no nat problem anymore, although I hardly ever found any insects in the trap. This year it does not work. Why? The attractant needs to be replaced and the light bulbs. You find the attractant on the internet, but so far I am unable to identify replacement bulbs.
Works great when it's colder out May 28, 2007

I had a similar more expensive unit that used propane that never caught a single mosquito, and I wouldn't have gotten a new one except I won this in a contest. I started using it in December (in North Carolina) and had to dump the catch tray frequently because it kept filling up. As it got closer to summer, it didn't catch nearly as many. My guess is that when it's a warmer item in the yard it works much better. For what it caught during the colder months, I'm sure it thinned out the population around my house and I'd certainly consider buying another if this one broke.
 Flowtron Galaxie didn't work for us! July 22, 2007

We set up the system according to the instructions. We live in MA and our backyard has woods so we set it there and sat on the deck about 50 feet away. The first night it was not very humid and although there were some mosquitos around us, they weren't biting and assumed it was because of the Flowtron. The 2nd time we used it on a far more humid night, we tried to sit on the deck to eat and the mosquitos were swarming and biting us to the point that it was impossible to eat out there and we went inside. The mosquito trap had only about a dozen mosquitos in it from the 2 nights combined. Needless to say, we sent it back for a refund.
