 Not the best trap for flies June 24, 2007

I've had one of these set up at a barn where there is a serious number of flies. After a month, there is a small collection of bugs in the trap, but the fly population is just as bad. I thought this would be a great alternative to the bug zapper I had, which spooked the horses every time it zapped. But the zapper was killing tons of flies where this doesn't appear to attract them at all. What it appears to trap are beetles, flying ants, moths and some mosquitoes.
I am going to try and move the trap away from the barn; right now it's hanging near a white wall, and I think the reflection of the light off the white wall may be defeating the attraction towards the trap and fan. Though this is the same place the zapper was and it had to be cleaned at least once a week. Maybe it's the color/attraction of the bulbs? I don't know, but it is rather disappointing.

We were told this would work for flies but have caught only one small fly in 4 weeks. All we have really caught is a bunch of moths (and they don't really bother us) The company (Builder Depot) wants to charge us a 20% restocking fee plus hold us responsible for shipping charges to us and back to the company.

I spent the morning setting up a pole with electric. Then I read the directions! "if used outside it must be kept in a covered area"..well I don't have a covered area. So I spent the rest of the morning putting it back in the box..My daughter has a covered area ma bey she can use it..

The maker expects you to turn this on 24/7 cos' there's nothing to stop the trapped insects from crawling back out. Fortunately, a simple sports use elastic headband (addidas is thicker) will solve 90% of the bugs from crawling back out. But still, how could they not think of this before?
Other than this, the unit works very well.

The Dynatrap primarily captured moths. I found zero mosquitoes and few other undesirable insects. Primarily I found small moths in the trap. I threw the thing away and realize I wasted $100. I do not recommend this product at all!
