why is it not attracting mosquitos?

I couldn't tell you the answer to that, but I can say that this was exactly my experience last summer. I tried everything I could think of, and nothing worked. This year we went with a mosquito spraying service instead; I wish I had just done that last year.

We've had ours running for about a month here in CT. It's working great for us. Our results vary but some nights we get 10-15 and other nights 20-30. We keep it running all the time. If you shut it off the vacuum stops and any caught mosquitos that haven't died yet can fly back out. We still have lots of mosquitos but at least I know we're catching some.

It is recommended for mosquitos but I have not used it for that so I cannot give any first-hand expericence.

It does a good job of attracting all flying insect. I would say it does get gnats, but perhaps not all of them.

The chemical is optional and only if you're looking to use it on mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are not attracted to light, so it won't attract them without the chemical (which comes separately packaged). It works fine on all light-attracted insects without the chemical. Only other reason you might want to stand away from it is in case something like a moth catches fire in it and falls out. But I think a mere 3 feet works fine for that, as opposed to 25.

I used the Dynatrap Insect Trap for two seasons. It catches moths, beetles and other assorted insects. It does NOT appear to attract or catch mosquitoes. Do not waste your money on this product if you wish to catch mosquitoes.

It helps to keep them mosquitos away for awhile...then they seem to get used to it. Just used it at a soccer game in a river town last week and my husband and I were much more comfortable than many others. It was better than not using anything. I will say that this works pretty well for gnats and smells good. Absorbine Jr. (muscle and joint topical liquid) works much better for mosquitos, but is stinky. You can find it in the OTC pharmacy department at WalMart or Walgreens.

I don't know but I do know it doesn't do a very good job repelling mosquitos.

It works primarily on Mosquitos. A few other things like moths are attracted to the light but no wasps or bees.

This is intended for outdoor use. Mosquitoes indoors is a whole 'nuther problem.

No, not as it comes. Know that I purchased this, and tried all the tips. I caught very few insects despite mosquito and a flea infestation of 3 long months. The Mosquitos are ongoing due to the tropical environment. I recommend to not purchase the item.

We tried this a few times and did not work at all for us. We have pretty thick mosquitos. We did the entire lawn where we hang out.

I didn't get it for that so I didn't notice if it did. I would think like any fan that it would not repel Mosquitos

This is designed yo attract mosquito's outdoors. Refer to the placement mguide included with it, you should place in a shaded area close to where they breed and between breeding and human activity. If you have mosquito's in your house I would contact a pest control company

We tried it here (live in Lewisville near Lewisville Lake), and it seemed to do very little on Texas mosquitoes. Might have been our terrain and bushes.We just unpacked it again this year, but the fan had quit working (it is about 9 years old). Back in MN we had the perfect setup -- we put it at the high weed line next to our little stream, and we were bothered by very few mosquitoes. My biggest challenge was keeping the tree frogs out of it because they'd be attracted by the black light, crawl inside, and get munched by the fan.

I have not had any mosquitoes around my rain barrel. So I would not see a need unless the location of your rain barrel is in an area which attracts mosquitoes?

I am just guessing that if it is muddy, there has to be water of some kind around/near. It seems logical it would work, but I don't know for sure. This might be a question to direct to the manufacturer, sending them photos of the area and more detailed information about if there is any water, if the water is trickling away down the creek so any BT would be moved off the target area, etc. Is there grass that is wet growing near the muddy creek which would hold moisture and provide mosquito breeding grounds? You may have to expand your treatment area to beyond just the muddy creek. Good luck!

We do not have chiggers here that I know of. I have not tried it on mosquitoes or chiggers.
