Dynatrap DT160SR 1/4 Acre Mosquito & Insect Trap

Arizona might be know for our hot temps but in the summer - especially when we get a good monsoon season - we get our fair share of mosquitos. And no matter how consistent you are with your screen doors they get inside the house - and with house plants about they have their chance to multiply… PROS: Simple light attractor - airflow spring loaded trap mechanism when shut off and no expensive bait needed. Moreover this unit is great to actively control those munching moths that are so interested in eating anything wool as well as No-See-Ums. With Mosquitos and No-See-Ums now being considered a vector of viral infection on top of pesky, pervasive piranha of the skies … this unit does a good job at all three of these pests - especially indoors. CONs: Out of doors - even if run with a timer for evening use only - the trap needs to be emptied - if not it can trap so many moths that the trap might not totally close when powered off. True to their copy the unit last about 3 years - where the failure turns out to be that they will not sell you a replacement bulb - so the attractor dims and its effectiveness in equal measure over that time. If they were more environmentally attuned company - they would consider the importance of NOT needing to buy new units and allow for the sak,e and replacement of the light - and if and if needed the fan motor. That said with the price (mostly due to market competition) now roughly 1/2 that of when we first purchased our first unit - they’re an even better investment than they were at first!
