My mosquito magnet lasted only 2 years. Does this have a longer lifespan?

I've only had it for a year, but started it back up and it is working like a charm again this year. The bugs are really bad here in MA and it did a bang up job last year. It seems pretty sturdy, I pulled it in kind of late last year once it started snowing and it started right up. My mom has them and actually convinced me to get one and hers have worked for at least 5 or 6 years.

It is a little electrical appliance with no replaceable parts. So I would expect it to last for a number of years.It may not work for mice, as other people have said, but it sure seems to be working to deter roaches in my house.

It lasts two or three weeks depending on how much rain you get. Two or three applications per summer keeps the mosquitoes at bay all summer

to my knowledge, it lasts essentially forever. inside its just a bent piece of thin metal that clicks when pushed (nothing mechanical or electrical about it). the real trouble is not losing it!

I just pulled mine out while I was cleaning....mine is metal, as confirmed with a magnet..bought in 2009

We are at two years and counting and it still works good. I have not heard of it having a limited life. I have some blue ice packs that are ten years old and still freezing. Maybe the one you had was faulty and not typical.

I have used this product for two years and I have never seen a mosquito on it. I don't think Mosquitos are attracted to yellow or sweet sticky stuff.

Not on mine; I have turned it every which way and don't find any expiration date. And yes, it is very, very effective!

It is not clear when you say "but didn't last long"; whether you are referring to the housing cracking or the electronics. I have only just bought the Warrior Supreme so I can't comment from experience of use. However, I also have a "first generation" model of this 'style' of bug zapper that is still working. The only issue I had was dropping the first generation model which caused the plastic battery housing to break internally. I did manage to fix it but it was in repair mode while when I bought the Warrior model. The plastic on the Warrior is more durable so I expect it to have a longer life. You also should be periodically cleaning the wires to keep the effectiveness up. I think spider webs tend to short the voltage and reduce the zap.

No. It is supposed to have a very long life, though. Seems like they stated 20 years or similar, but my memory many not be accurate.

Mine have lasted up to six months, that is, they are still catching moths up to six months. Of course whenever full, it's a good idea to replace it regardless of how old.

Depends, I do several mosquito treatments each day with a gas powered blower and pesticides. They typically last about to 2 to 4 weeks granted you seal up the cartridges while not in use (they are passive filters constantly working). Once I start to smell a little exhaust from my machine I know its time to change cartridges.

We have had it for almost two years and have had not problems. The flow does seem a little less that what we had, buy I chalked it up to a "low-flow" nozzle that saves water. I do like that fact that the spray head secures back in place with a magnet. I've seen some clamp styles get loose after a few years.

I had my first one about 2 years and it was just as good after 2 years as it was at the first use. I just opened a new one and I can't tell the difference between it and the end of the old one.

I believe the item is meant to last at least 2 years. Besides free occasional battery change.

Can vary greatly. Mine lasted less than a year. But also had some that lasted two years.

This strong magnet should work if the sensors are in good working condition. The sensors normally go bad after 8 to 10 years. I replaced all of the sensors in my ford expedition and the magnet did a good job training the sensors. It worked very well.
