DynaTrap DT2030SR Fly Traps Outdoor - Mosquito & Flying Insect Killer for 1 Acre – Kills Flies, Gnats, Wasps - Bug Zapper Alternative - Black

I bought a fly killer lamp a few weeks ago and the truth is that I am quite satisfied with the results. From day one I noticed a significant reduction of insects in the house, especially in the kitchen and on the balcony where they tend to accumulate the most. It is quiet, does not emit annoying odors and best of all it does not use chemicals, so it is safe to use around children and pets. Plus, it's easy to clean and its power consumption is minimal. Honestly, it has been an excellent purchase, especially for the warmer months where insects tend to be more annoying. I highly recommend it.

I LOVE these traps! Our house sits on 4 acres surrounded by marshland, on the Chesapeake Bay. These bug catchers are a lifesaver. It is a full on war with bugs here, especially mosquitoes. This little workhorse does an amazing job. It does such a great job, that I normally have to clean it once a month. The sides/blade becomes caked in the little dead insect bodies. Takes about 15 minutes to take it apart and clean it up. And well worth it! I’m glad it’s doing that much work. The huge puck of dead insect carcasses that falls from the basket every time is soooo satisfying!I can tell you this, when it is NOT on or when it needs cleaning and it is not working fully, the increase in mosquitos and being attacked is immediately noticeable to us! I’d recommend these to anyone.

It catches mosquitos with lure packet but does get other bugs unfortunately. I keep it near my deck so I can check it daily. It didn't catch mosquitos until I added a scent packet which should come with it, imo. I did have to save a few bees but overall it does get some of those pesky bloodsuckers. It took 2 weeks to start attraction attracting them. Very quite machine with purple led light. You do need to plug in. Moths definitely like it!

Best for indoors even close to people. Low noise, pro bugmane and no toxic debris exploded into the air. I placed something in between the uv LEDS and anyone's eyes to block direct view of dangerous uv light. I plug it in to a surge protector to help prevent surges from killing it and to extend its service life.

I used the light bug zappers in past and decided to give this a try. The bugs were flying around and about half of them got into the holding basket and stayed alive. You basically have to wait for the bugs to die off then dump the basket. Not even a week in and the basket broke apart at the top. I am going back to the light zapper. I do not want to dump out LIVE bugs with wasps in them and get stung while trying to figure out the basket not opening up.

I was more than a little skeptical when I first heard about the DynaTrap on a radio Garden show that claimed it can cover 1/2 to 1 acre of property, but I have trusted the shows host on a number of things so I ordered it through Amazon. It took several weeks to arrive, as they were backlogged with orders as I am sure they are each Spring to Summer.The trap feels very light so you won't have to worry about a heavy or large hook to hang it. I installed it on the far edge of the patio but still under cover. I did not want the rain to soak it or the sun's UV rays to degrade it. I am a little concerned about the operating life, being left on 24/7. So far so good. I have had it operating for a month now and I am really pleased that it is so quiet.How it works: The light stay on continually and attracts flying insects day and night! When the insects get close, the fan underneath the light pulls them through the grate and traps them in the basket below. I have seen all different sizes of insects in the trap.Problems: I have only had one problem with the trap. I came out one day last week and the light was on but the fan was not turning. I unplugged the cord and found that a rather large June Bug was caught between the fan and the grate below it. These tough little bugs seem like they are made of a hard plastic and and this one was too big to make it trough the grate and was wedged in there, stopping the fan blade. I was think that perhaps this could have burned up the electric fan motor but after removing the bug and plugging it back in, it worked just fine. Apparently they anticipated this happening in the motor design. Nice job Dyna Trap!Operation: I empty the trap about twice a week and estimate that there is about one full cup of bugs inside. Some of the bugs that were apparently caught recently were still alive in the basket so I keep a can of bug killer close by and spray the bugs after I dump them out. (No since letting them take off and bother us again.) I probably should empty it more often because you can detect a slight odor from the dead bugs if you leave them in there too long. (Just a suggestion) Although I did not notice the smell from the patio because the fan blowing over them disperses the smell. Just the same, you may want to empty it more often.I am please with the quiet operation and clearly effective way it works, and have noticed a REAL difference sitting outside!. My backyard is about 1/2 acre and I still occasionally notice a fly by, but I'm not bothered like before. Even when I go out at night with a flashlight, I am not attacked by swarms of bugs. It has made a difference that is noticeable!

I’ve had this for a few weeks now to really try it out before reviewing. It does seem to slightly cut down on mosquito activity but they’re still a pretty constant nuisance. I have noticed a lot less other flying pests though, which is nice.I did purchase a bait pack to add in to attract mosquitos and it hasn’t helped much.

Works great for moths, and mosquitos. Hope they make some fly bait and wasp bait as those are bothersome where I live. I suppose I could put some meat or well-fermented wine in it, but it would be nice to have less maintenance involved bait. (Poked some holes in a baggy full of cotton and apple cider vinegar in hopes of catching more flies)
