My friend have this Pioneer mosquito magnet and had it for years, it has killed almost whole population of mosquitoes around his house and the neighbours houses (4 houses with big yards) and close to forest. We bought the same model and used it 1 year, and we reduced about 50% of our mosquitoes and gnat population. But it takes almost 3 years to kill mostly of whole populations. We like it. A PK10 gasbottle lasts approx 21days and R-Ocetenol almost the same. But we only uses this may-october here in Sweden.

I'm one of "those people" who can be outside with friends---everyone is having a great time and I'm frantically running away from the mosquitos. I dated a guy with a forrest-y yard. I could not be outside after sun down or I'd be eaten alive. Everyone would be out by the pool enjoying drinks and I would have to sit inside :( He got the large mosquito magnet and for the first time I was able to really enjoy sitting outdoors - it works.

We had a Mosquito Magnet years ago. It was hands down the best purchase we ever made. It stopped workingafter about 8 years and we tried a different type without the propane tank. It doesn't work worth a crap. When it was working, it eliminated the mosquitoes in our yard and in our neighbors yards. I would absolutely recommend this product.

Hi! Thank you for your video and the ton of information you give here on the comments.

Is there a date of expiry on the package? Thank you and greetings from Sweden :)

Hello from Canada and thanks for watching. We ordered our Octenol online on Amazon this time, as I think sometimes the stores sit on it and it gets old. We have had no problems with the stuff bought on line, works great! We never noticed a best before date and unfortunately threw the package away so I can't check :( All the best in your efforts to kill those pesky skitters. We also use bug jackets out in the garden if it gets too bad, and sleep under canopy bug nets, it gets intense here for a little while every year.

I have seen mixed reviews not sure why some machines seem to have problems. So far so good for us. You have to put it out when they are first out and in the right spot but we really like it. It's about a tank a month, plus the attractant, make sure that is not old as it will not work, I think some stores hold onto it too long. I can't speak to compare it to the older machine sorry. We actually bought a second one because we liked the first so much. One for us, one for our dogs lol

@@HiddenBlessingsHomestead We have had two throughout the years-the first lasted almost 10 years? The second (Patriot) has been quite temperamental… Besides filling up our 3 propane tanks with fresh propane and purchasing new batteries every summer, the starting up process is ALWAYS a chore… We also use the valve clearing cartridge. No matter what, the lights will flash either telling us “low battery” or a propane issue. This will go on and on and on until you either give up for the day, or it randomly decides to turn green… Very frustrating to say the least, since we take extra care of the machine! As I stated in my original post, the machine works wonders when operating, but WAY too temperamental as far as getting started- unacceptable as far as I’m concerned.

@HiddenBlessingsHomestead Жыл бұрын
We absolutely have a huge amount of bugs here, and I give you that it won't eliminate them, but we did notice a huge difference in the area it was in. We put it near a wet area at the back behind the house a ways back, where they were awful, and it became manageable where as at the front of the house they were still terrible. You do have to weigh it out, but for us any way we can eliminate bugs we are happy. Keep in mind that each mosquito can lay up to 200 eggs, and at that rate in one generation we eliminated 1,280,000 eggs in just two weeks. Plus the number could actually be a lot higher as the weight to mosquito ratio I used to count was for alive not dehydrated mosquitos. Also foggers are illegal here in Canada so we do what we can ;)
@TekkWolf Жыл бұрын
@@HiddenBlessingsHomestead of course it is, how you Canadians tolerate your authoritarian government is beyond me. But if you were comparing dehydrated mosquitoes to live weight I bet that number is way more. $500, (the current price of the smaller magnet), is such a huge upfront cost for something that "might" reduce the mosquito population however for me.
