Mosquito Magnet MM4200B Patriot Plus Mosquito and Flying Insect Trap and Killer - Outdoor Fly Trap Protects Up to 1 Acre, Green

The Mosquito Magnet MM4200B Patriot Plus Mosquito and Flying Insect Trap and Killer is an effective solution for controlling mosquitos and other flying insects. With the ability to protect up to 1 acre, this product is perfect for larger outdoor spaces. One customer in Florida shared their positive experience with the Mosquito Magnet, stating that it worked like a charm and provided noticeable results after about 2 weeks. The mosquitos are attracted to the trap, where they are sucked into a net and rapidly dry out and die. Another customer asked if the low voltage 50' cord could be connected to a 12v deep cycle battery. While one person suggested purchasing a model that uses batteries or using a custom inverter, another customer expressed frustration with the lack of replacement parts and the need for costly repairs if the system breaks. In terms of usage, a full 20-pound propane tank will last approximately 21 days when the trap is run for 24 hours a day. It is recommended to have a second full tank on hand to reduce downtime. One customer who was not having success trapping bugs may have been placing the trap incorrectly. It is important to place the trap close to breeding areas, away from where people gather, and downwind of the breeding area. Placing the trap in a shaded area is also recommended. Another customer reported a flashing red light on the power switch of their Mosquito Magnet. According to the manufacturer, a slow flashing red light during warm up is normal, but a fast blinking red light indicates a fault code and troubleshooting assistance should be sought. Regarding attractants, the Mosquito Magnet does not require one to be effective. However, the company offers different attractants based on the region one lives in. One customer recommended "Octenol" as an attractant option. Overall, the Mosquito Magnet MM4200B Patriot Plus Mosquito and Flying Insect Trap and Killer is a reliable and effective solution for controlling mosquitos and flying insects. However, potential customers should be aware of potential difficulties with obtaining replacement parts and the need for repairs.
