wiggler is pretty - didn't get rid of mosquito larvae
583683
I find this to be a prettier wiggler since it has this ceramic cover as opposed to the traditional white ones. It looks good in our bird bath although it takes up a significant amount of room. I take it inside if we are going to get a big storm since I am concerned about it tipping over or the water in the bath getting up to the wiggler which would ruin it. They say you need to put it up higher if the bird bath height is within 1/4" of the bottom of the wiggler ( or something close to that). If I had known that I probably wouldn't have bought it but I don't really have any other options. The downside is we still seem to be getting mosquito larvae in our bird bath regardless of having this wiggler. Overall it's pretty and I hope it lasts a long time.

Did not do what it claimed.  I bought extra octenols and ran this more than  what was instructed to try to do something about the Mosquitos.  After I had it working for about 2 weeks I went outside and in 20 seconds had 5 Mosquitos land on me.  I ended up calling the mosquito squad to spray.  I was so disappointed that this didn't work because I didn't want to use the chemicals, but we wanted to be able to go outside.

My office became infested with mosquitoes last summer due to construction of a nearby building. It was HORRIBLE. I put this on my desk (it's meant for outdoor use so I only did this while I was at my desk) and it helped a little. The mosquitos wouldn't fly near it but they would still fly all around my area. This works as long as you invest in some repellent and a bug zapper as well.

This is a cool looking device but I doubt its effectiveness. Agreed putting up a giant fan (giant from the perspective of a mosquito) and a light to attract the pests is a good approach in principle, however the reality is far different. The pest needs to be really close to the fan to be sucked in to the chamber and trust me are they getting clever. The attracting 'light' is way too dim to be noticeable in a well lit room.
 I had a mosquito and a 'fly' fly close to it without being attracted to it or getting sucked in. Maybe it only works if there is a huge concentration of mosquitoes (in a camp perhaps) but its definitely not for the lone blood sucker out there killing your sleep.

We bought this in hopes to reduce the fiddle back population in our home. We sprinkled it around all the interior walls, nooks and crannies. My husband had caught two fiddle backs in a small container and added the DE. It did nothing to them over a period of a week.  I feel like the DE is not useful in insect problems.

Wanted to see what the buzz was all about with these bands and I'm sad to say that these are junk. I have not had any luck with any mosquito bracelets lately and this one is added to that list. Had 1 on my ankle and 1 on wrist, and that didn't stop the mosquitoes from biting my arms. On top of that, somehow my seal doesn't seal fully (first I pressed down the seal, and my friend pressed the seal down and air still flows through. Was looking forward to this band but i guess I'll look elsewhere.

I have tried to get this product and the mosquito magnet to work at my home in the Washington, DC area for two years without sucess.  The Asian tiger mosquitos fly around the , but are not caught.  I am very dissapointed, especially since the mosquit magnet is very expensive, and I have a lot of mosquitos in my yard.  I would recommend that you do not purchase this product if you have Asian tiger mosquitos.

Thank you for your time.

Perfect if you have a gnat problem, which is why I gave it 2 stars.
This item has been hanging in my yard for about 2 months and hasn't snagged a single fly. Lots of teeny gnats, but no flies.

I set it up inside by my kitchen door to see if maybe it will catch the flies that like tp bother us at dinner time. If it fails me there, it's next move will be the trash can.

The design on the sticky side that claims to attract flies just looks stupid and clearly has no purpose because it doesn't attract squat.

Kills lots of flying insects, but doesn't seem to attract many mosquitoes, which sucks.

I had some high hopes for these bracelets after reading so many positive reviews. I bought them for our vacation to Puerto Rico to protect us from the Zika virus. They absolutely did NOT work for us unfortunately. I will say, I seem to attract mosquitos even when others never get bitten, but my husband and daughter got several bites as well. I even bought several packages and switched out bracelets every 24 hours for newer, recharged ones. Disappointing for sure. Hope we don't get Zika :/

After I bought this, I saw other reviews on other websites with the same complaint.  The light attracts the bugs, but the zapper doesn't kill them.  Apparently not even made by Black & Decker, just some company with the rights to use their name.  I had swarms of bugs circling around the zapper last night, but only a few still there.  Most of the bugs were still hanging around the light this morning alive and well.
Go with another zapper.

I was really hoping for a natural bug cure, but unfortunately it just doesn't work. I really really wish it did because I can't afford to have chemicals in my house.

I have some indoor basil, dill and thyme that was recently afflicted with a nasty aphid AND whitefly infestation after I had unwittingly brought home some contaminated herbs.

I read about all the fantastic things about this Safer Brand soap and figured I'd give it a shot before trashing my poor plants.

I've followed the instructions diligently.  The aphids do go away a couple days after spraying.  Unfortunately however, the bugs keep coming back every week.  There are no other plants in the house that could be housing the bugs and promoting their return, and my herbs are all small plants.

If this product can't get rid of the bugs off of one little isolated, indoor plant, then I don't know what good it's for.  I had just as much success when I was picking off the aphids by hand.

At least it's not toxic, and I guess it's faster than hand-picking.

EDIT:  Several comments have mentioned that I need to keep re-applying ever week, and that all the bugs will never be killed.  Well, OK, fine, if it requires constant re-application, then it should say that in the product description.  All the description talks about is mass insect genocide (specifically, SAFE, mass insect genocide).  I stand by my 2 star review.  It's less than "meh" at getting rid of aphids and I did end up scrapping my herbs.

I've been having a problem with fruit flies/gnats in my small home. They are especially prevalent in the kitchen and living room areas. One of them, in particular, keeps flying into my face. *Sigh.* So, I purchased these traps in hopes that it would help rid me of these annoying creatures.

Sadly, it did very little to alleviate my problem. I put out 6 of the traps, and between all of them caught only 3 flies. I even saw some of the insects flying right near the trap, but they went nowhere near it. I left the traps out for two weeks, and it hasn't caught any more of them than the original 3 (even now they are still flying around).

Although my issue isn't an infestation by any means, I did hope that this would catch the majority of the flies. Sadly, it did not. The search for a solution continues.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. The opinions expressed here are my own and were not influenced by the discount.

I have a very active mastiff-mix who needs to go out several times to get out her energy (between which, she takes naps so she can go play again, of course). One of our last outings tends to be right at dusk, so the mosquitoes are out in DROVES. I was really hoping this would help keep them away because while my dog is happy as a clam in the cooler period, I get eaten alive by mosquitoes, and I can't go for a walk with a citronella candle (and I hate the smell of bug spray, YUCK!).

This is essentially a neoprene wrist band with a little mesh pocket that you put the tablet in. It fits snugly, but it has quite a bit of give for people with larger wrists. It's very easy to put on, and insert the tablets. I tried this on two different nights and even opened a second little tablet packet to make sure that the first one wasn't just defective. It definitely smells strongly, but I don't think Ohio mosquitoes were bothered by it in the least. Both nights I was still swatting away the stupid little bugs, and still got one or two bites (one right next to the wrist band!) each night.

This COULD be a really great product as I do really love the concept, but it simply doesn't work. :(

Bought this in hopes of finding an all-natural product that would effectively protect my 16-month old from mosquitoes.  She can't be outside for more than 60 seconds without being bitten and then the bites turn to large, red welts that last a week.  I sprayed her and she had a bite within 2 minutes, so I sprayed her again and while I was applying it I watched a mosquito land on her and bite her in the exact spot where I applied the product!  Unfortunately, I couldn't squash the darn thing in time.  I swear it attracts them.  Obviously, this didn't work for us and we are stuck in the house until we can find something that works.
