Summary: Mosquito Magnet Liberty
Comment: I just have to say that I was very skeptical about purchasing this product. We already purchased the Coleman Mosquito Deleto system which cost around $200.00 but was a severe disapointment. The only thing that it caought was pollen and an occational leaf or two...not worth it at all! So we purchased and set up the Mosquito Magnet anticipating a similar results, but we were desperate, and tired of dousing ourselves with deet everytime we did yard work. However, what we got was a complete elimination of all mosquitos from our yard! We live very near wetlands so we have always had a mosquito problem. That problem has now been completely eliminated! As a matter of fact, the only time I saw a mosquito in our yard was when the gas ran out on the unit and it shut off!! The brochure said that it would take several weeks to disrupt the population in the yard, but we noticed the difference in a few days. I was so impressed that I was compelled to take time out of my work schedule to write this review. If you are even thinking of this product, I would say purchase it without any reservations. It is a bit pricey, but it is worth every penny if you have a mosquito problem. And you need to refill the gas tank around every 2 weeks but again, worth all of the trouble. I can't comment on the long term durability as we have only had it for a few months now, but I can say that I am very impressed and would buy one again!

Summary: Must have if you hate bug bites
Comment: Here is the scoop! You have seen some reviews that say it doesn't work. That is a lot of hewy! The trick is that you must have it running at least 4-6 weeks before the summer rush of bugs. That means you really shouldn't purchase it after the end of April (in the North East). Reason being, it starts limiting the number of bug from the get go but you may not notice anything until a month later. We plugged ours in in April. My Husband and I live in Maine and we were so happy that it limited the number of our black flies at the end of May. We also have changed the trap a few times and the most mosquitos we caught in one month's time was 947. (yes we counted!) You must read all of the materials that come with the machine for it to give you the best results. We had to replace the ignitor because we didn't clean out the trap in time and we got a free replacement within a week. With the 1 year warranty it is worth the price.

Summary: Don't Buy a Mosquito Magnet
Comment: I thought that this design was a great idea. However I am on my 4th unit and it still does not work. It catches a few mosquitos but I am frequently bitten just a few feet from the unit. Their customer service department, if you can reach them, is very unfriendly to people with equipment problems.
All of the units that I have tried, have had apparent design problems. My first two would not keep going. Their Customer Service people said that I had "dirty propane". The third unit had a connection for using a CO-two cartridge. After three cartridges were put through it, it would stay running, albeit not catching many mosquitos. They replaced this unit.
The replacement unit, also with a cartridge fitting, has run quite well. I have burned three tanks of propane and caught probably 10 mosquitos. Biting mosquitos are all around, they just are not caught by the Mosquito Magnet.
Therefore I would recommend that you not buy this machine unless you just want to burn off tanks of propane.

Summary: Expensive junk
Comment: A total piece of expensive junk. The company repair support is terrible and they should be investigated (...). I'm very sorry I spent my money on such a poor product and I'm stuck with useless junk. Amazon should not sell them.

Summary: a total piece of junk
Comment: the mosquito magnet is a collosal mistake unless you feel that $30 per mosquito is a good deal. it would be a better result to hire a service to come monthly for the cost of your octenol and propane alone. let alone the $1000 for the unit. now that it is broken, they want $395 to fix it. they will coddle you along until the warranty expires saying that you have the wrong type of mosquito or some such rubbish. do not buy these units.
