Product Description
Don't spend another summer covered in bug spray or trapped indoors. Enjoy your backyard protected by the Mosquito Magnet. Sprays, candles and lotions offer only temporary relief from mosquitoes and biting insects. The Mosquito Magnet biting insect trap is a long-term solution that is scientifically proven to virtually eliminate mosquitoes from your yard. It mimics a human by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide (CO2), heat and moisture, and a short-range attractant, octenol. This precise combination is irresistible to female mosquitoes (the ones that bite), no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies, and sandflies. As the mosquito approaches the trap hoping for a human, it is quietly vacuumed into a net where it dehydrates and dies. Silent, odorless, no mess. By using the Mosquito Magnet continuously throughout the mosquito season, you will be able to capture both day- and night-biting mosquitoes, thereby drastically reducing the mosquito population in your yard. 50-Foot low voltage cord included (burying clips included) Sled base Uses Octanol attractant One-year warranty Refill propane tank and replace attractant every 21 days. Empty net as needed.

 "Kills Them All" August 29, 2008
I have to say that the Mosquito Magnet- Defender is one of the best products I have found. Within three days the trap was completely full of mosquitoes and "no see-ums". I also recommend the use of the attractants made specifically for the "Magnet". One attractant came with the unit and others can be purchased separately. It is also very easy to use; just empty the trap when it starts to get full and there are no sticky glue pads to mess with. The Mosquito Magnet has allowed my family to once again enjoy our yard and our pool even after the sun goes down! I definetly recommend the Mosquito Magnet Defender to anyone with who has a problem with gnats, no see-ums, or mosquitoes. The only draw back is that there are no guages to let you know when the propane is almost empty. This is only a problem because I believe the igniter will continue trying to ignite with nothing to burn; thus, shortening the igniter life.
 All the problems are well worth it August 27, 2008

I've been buying and using Mosquito Magnets for close to ten years. Why the plural? Because they don't last. I'd say we average two years before they die. The propane is expensive and so are the octenol cartridges.
So, why do we keep buying them? BECAUSE THEY WORK! They work really, really well. We live in a low-lying area. When we first moved here, you couldn't go outside during the summer because you'd get swarmed by dozens of mosquitoes, you'd literally have a cloud around you. When we put out the first MM, it would fill up with hundreds of them every night. But after a few weeks, we were virtually mosquito-free around the house. The fact that we can enjoy our outdoors is well worth the expense.
For those people who complain that the MM is ineffective, I'd bet they're not using the octenol. It makes a HUGE difference in the catch rate. If you're not planning to use it, don't bother buying the MM (or any other similar device).
Buying the propane in the little 3-gallon tanks is expensive and inconvenient. We bought a used 100-gallon tank and buy the propane in bulk, much cheaper and it lasts a really long time.
So, yeah, I wish they lasted longer. I wish the octenol was cheaper. I also wish my car cost $50 and got 700 miles per gallon, but like my MM the benefits far outweigh the costs. When the latest one dies, I will without hesitation buy another one.
 Don't buy this rip off August 12, 2008
I ran it for three summers total - bought expensive tanks of propane (about 3 per summer) and the replacement attractants... to catch a grand total of 10 mosquitos.
A rolled up newspaper is cheaper, as is going inside.
does the job August 11, 2008
the service was excellent. the product seems to be working. there are still some mosquitos but no wheres near the swarming plague that we normally get!!!
Not worth it August 2, 2008
The product captured a few mosquitoes for 3 weeks after I tried to switch out the tank, it failed to work. After multiple phone calls with tech support I was told I need original receipt from purchase (I could not locate it) to have it serviced. Returned the item to Home Depot for in store credit and bought some candles and mosquito repellent. It doesn't work and it's not worth the hassle trying to fix it. Maybe the company can redesign it to have better results.
