[@pulvermacher80]

Okay here is the deal with this thing. I did the same thing u did put kinda close to back door and caught mainly moths. Then I moved it farther from the house next to bushes and trees. A week later the thing was full of mosquitoes. More mosquitoes than any other bug. Now months later and the 🦟 population is drastically smaller.

[@thesecretgarden6948]

WOW! Okay, now that has me excited!! Thank you very much for that, I will for sure do that!

[@SuiGenerisMan]

Great tip, exactly what I was thinking

[@altondelane7798]

Wow, indeed! That may explain the mixed reviews and results that have given me great pause in purchasing this. With this in mind, I am going to give it a hard try before the return period expires. Thanks!

Are they ok to leave out in the wether?

[@budscott1257]

Go outside early in the morning and look inside the trap that’s when you will see all the mosquitoes before they dehydrate. I’ve been using the traps for years and positively love it. You can’t tell me they don’t work I know better.

[@thesecretgarden6948]

That's a good idea! I like it, thank you!

[@billdrumming]

I agree I love it

[@Fattony6666]

They don't work

[@---om5vg]

DEHYDRATE ! ? LOL So stiff mosquitoes?

[@sammsspace6888]

So moving the item farther from where you sit with improve its chances of attracting mosquitos hile simultaneously using plants and citronella around where you sit so they won't be as attracted to you.

[@warrensnow6695]

I have this product and it works very well for misquitos . I keep mine away from the home close to a marshy wet area . Filled with mosquito’s. You have to keep it running 24/7 . My backyard is practically misquito free now.

[@pdiz]

The DynaTrap gets it's 4-star rating back because it caught a cockroach... Funny how that damned thing walked away, though. Probably could have lived in there forever, munching on the failed dreams of other bugs.

[@thesecretgarden6948]

"munching on the failed dreams of other bugs", that is awesome! Best quote of the day!! Thank you for watching the video, I had fun making that one. Though the cockroach definitely creaped me out!

[@Jibbie49]

Yes, that roach would just keep eating those dead moths.

[@danielpeters1754]

I bought this unit 2 years and I had the same results. Mosquitos know this is a moth hotel.

[@Neph1]

Did you have it 20-40 ft away like suggested? That way they are attracted away from where you are

[@eglemerzvinskaite1446]

Does it harm beneficial insects? Like ladybugs? As well some beatles and moths can be useful for the garden..

[@SuperJbarrera]

It works I have zero mosquitos during the summer if you put it out soon enough I put mine out in April in the Midwest

[@shhh5260]

You can see mosquitoes in mine before they die. They cling to the mesh. It isn't meant to eradicate the mosquitoe population, but diminish it.. It also needs to be further from your house.

[@ElPajaroMosca]

I had to come to the comments for the answer because the non stop in detail description was way too long. But thanks for taking the time

[@summit461]

Sounds like maybe you have a location problem. As this device is designed to attract mosquitos and then suck them into the basket, having it installed at your door or on your patio where you sit is likely calling the mosquitos to come bite you. The back of your yard is likely the best spot - attracts the mosquitos away from your patio. Give that a try and let us know.

[@thesecretgarden6948]

Okay.... Now that is a GREAT idea... will do, thank you!

[@Sul_Shadw]

@@thesecretgarden6948 So how is this experience going ? Does it work for you ?

What about a how-to on changing the bulb...

[@latenightdiy1496]

Mine catches lots of moths and other bugs, but rarely mosquitos. I have the Dynatrap XL and after about 4 years it has never been a good mosquito catcher for me but those who say it is, may have a different species that are actually attracted to the light. I'm about 15 mins north of San Antonio and the best mosquito control I have found is filling my wheel barrow half way and letting the water sit a couple days. Once its conditioned to the elements, I look really closely and find mosquito egg rafts every day and remove them. At the beginning of the season I typically remove about 2000 eggs per day, no joke! Sometimes around 10,000. If any larvae become present, I sprinkle in Mosquito Bits to quickly kill them without ruining the conditioned water. I used to get at least 10 bites per evening but now I rarely get bitten in my yard since doing this method. As long as you only have one source of standing water, you can have really good control over their reproduction. Remember, you're not " attracting" mosquitos. They're already there and if you don't catch them, they'll use your neighbors bird baths and other water sources to reproduce. After about 2 months, the amount of eggs I find is slim to none each day due to pretty much breaking the breeding cycle. I have devoted serious time and effort to mosquito control in Texas and I will tell you this is by far, the single most effective way to actually decrease the population. Yea it takes 5 mins a day to check it but my friends never complain about getting bit in my yard.

[@latenightdiy1496]

@Gabe what blows my mind is how you can actually believe there will be “No“ standing water. You can dump everything and they will always find a place. My neighbors on both sides have bird baths and whatever else. Also I monitor the pool every day so no, I haven’t created a successful breeding pool. It’s a dead end for them. I’ve lived on the property for 11 years so I’m the one who knows the positive difference I’ve made. It used to be unbearable but now I rarely ever get bitten. The main reason people don’t try methods like mine is due to laziness.

[@mpratt69]

@@latenightdiy1496 how are you removing the eggs?

[@latenightdiy1496]

[@fortworthclaimsadjusters9585]

They are not attracted to the light at all. The bulbs are coated and the UV simply breaks down the coating which attracts them. This is why the bulbs have to be changed.

[@brooksknows]

Is it possible the other bugs eat the mosquitos?

[@thesecretgarden6948]

Honestly I do not know. I think it is more likely that since they are so small, once they dry out, it is harder to see them with all the larger bugs in there.

Eh i've tried their products and not really satisfied with this company product since having to buy a few of the replacement bulb model DT1120 to constantly burn out with in 2 months even tho the company claims the bulb will last 2.5 years is kind of shady or misleading I mean for +$21.00 I would expect the bulbs to actually work as intended but after buying 5 replacement bulbs I just stopped using the product entirely (maybe I'm just unlucky in not getting defected bulb) and seems to have a good push towards a bug trap that actually dose not make noise (this product does work just having to pay more $$$ than needed defeats the purpose of paying for a product that has defects as in their bulbs)

[@cristinbuskard9250]

Dynatrap has worked for me. I have a small stream in my back yard that attracts so many mosquitos. We leave this running as soon as the snow melts all spring summer fall for three years. It has decimated the mosquito population. The key is to have it out asap in the spring to catch the females before they breed. Also, keep it about 12 feet from where you hang out in the back yard so it gets the mosquitos away from you. I still use coils and tikis for parties but this product has really helped. It won’t help if you put it out for a party because it’s basically like having another human there attracting the mosquitos. You need to use repellants for that. This brings down your mosquito population in general. I also find it works better low and near my plants vs in an open area.

[@fortworthclaimsadjusters9585]

💯 disagree with this assessment. I live on a golf course with a pond out back and have two traps. Zero mosquitoes now. I think the main issue is you are not replacing the bulbs as required. Maybe I missed it if you said it, but the bulbs are coated with a substance that breaks down from the UV and off gasses. That’s what draws the mosquitoes. They don’t care about the UV light otherwise a bug zapper would kill them and it doesn’t. I replace my bulbs monthly ($10) and it’s a heck of a deal. Perfect performance and I don’t have to spray off on every time I go outside. Believe it or not, I called a mosquito company looking to pay 70-100 on average for them to spry my yard. They said because of the pond and golf course they could never keep up and couldn’t guarantee the results. THEY turned me onto this product. Best ever!

You can't do a huge clump of debris and try to see what's in there. The larvae mean that something was trapped, lived long enough to lay eggs and that larvae were eating the dead bugs.
