Summary: Mega Catch Premier Review
Comment: PROS:
It really does work!
It does not require propane (at least not the model we bought).
It has a timer so that you can set it to turn on and off several times a day when the mosquitos are most active.
CONS:
They only have Octenol attractant and not Lurex 3 (which is effective at catching Asian Tiger mosquitos, which are a real pest here.) However, I use the Lurex 3 attractant made by Mosquito Magnet, and lay it next to the collection cup, inside the Mega Catch. Since we did not get bit at all after setting up the Mega Catch, I assume it is working.
After moving into our new home almost nine months ago, my wife and I wanted to be able to enjoy our backyard without getting eatin alive by the mosquitos here (suburb of Houston). I did a little investigating of mosquito machines...read good and bad about many of them. One day I was in Home Depot, and noticed their Mosquito Magnets were discounted and decided to give it a try. I bought a propane tank to use with it. After 3 or 4 days of catching only 1 mosquito, I gave up and returned it. I read later that some of the Mosquito Magnets work extremely well, and others not at all.
I kept investigating and decided to try the Mega Catch mosquito trap (Premier) after checking out their website. Plus, I could buy it online from Costco and return it to my local Costco if it did not work.
Well, after setting it up and having it run less than a day, I opened it up and pulled out the collection cup. I was pleased to see numerous mosquitos in the water (100, maybe 200...I did not count them). For the rest of the mosquito season last year, we were able to go out in our backyard (the size of our backyard is approx. 2000 sq feet) without getting bitten.

Editorial Reviews:

Scientific research has shown that mosquitoes find their prey using a combination of sensory signals including light, shape, color, heat, vibration, sweat and other by-products of human activity. Mega-Catch has exploited these sensory signals by using sophisticated electronic components and advanced design features to produce one of the world's most advanced mosquito traps. Unlike conventional traps, which burn flammable liquids like Propane to produce CO2 as bait, Mega-Catch+ Traps need no CO2 to attract mosquitoes. The Mega-Catch Trap can be located unobtrusively in the backyard and plugged into any main power outlet using its 60-foot low voltage extension cord. Featuring a durable all weather casing (which is lockable for child safety), a programmable timer and quality components, Mega-Catch Traps require little maintenance and are able to programmed for long term operation. Mega-Catch Traps come fully assembled - simply install, connect to power, switch on and let Mega-Catch+ go to work. * Effective up to 1 1/2 acres * Catches mosquitoes, biting midges (no-see-ums), black flies and sand flies * Effective in trapping mosquitoes which carry strains of encephalitis like West Nile Virus * Uses no flammable liquids like propane * In one test, a Mega-Catch+ Premier Trap caught over 7,500 mosquitoes in 24 hours * Programmable to multiple operational settings * 2 catch options (catch bag or liquid catch container) * Durable all weather casing and quality components * Lethal to mosquitoes * See USDA and other independent test results online at www.megacatch/testresults.html Includes: * Mega-Catch+ Mosquito Trap incorporating programmable timer * Liquid Catch Container * Standard Catch Bag * External Skirt * 110/12 Volt Weatherproof Transformer * 60 foot low-voltage extension cord * Stand (zinc plated/powder coated) * Mega-Catch+ Octenol Fragrance Strip * Operation Manual Model: MCP400
