Does not kill mosquitoes.

I have had this for 3 weeks and have emptied the basket twice. I sifted through the dead insects. There were plenty of moths, a few June bugs and 1 frog, which kills mosquitoes. Not one mosquitoe or fly in the baskets, which is the main reason I purchased it.

It's flimsy, the coil breaks easily, and it doesn't seem to work.

Like a lot of people, I struggle with mosquitoes every summer.  And every year I try to find some new gimmick to deal with them.  Even though I know, KNOW, they likely won't work, I keep trying.  This repellent coil was one of my latest efforts and it didn't deliver.

The actual quality of this product is lacking.  The small metal base you attach the coil to is extremely flimsy.  Wedging the end of the coil on to the metal base isn't terribly difficult, but the metal is so thin that you have to carefully position it so that it will stay upright.  The coil itself is quite brittle and breaks into pieces quite easily.  One of the pieces arrived broken and the intact one broke through (I consider) fairly gentle contact.  I was able to jury-rig a solution using the base plate at an angle to support the pieces of the coil, but obviously that isn't something you should have to do.

All this aside, the main selling point of this product is its ability to repel mosquitoes, and it does not do this.  I did not take a careful before and after survey about the number of mosquitoes, so I will admit it is possible this product has some repellent properties, but in general even after it had been burning for a while I saw, heard, and felt mosquitoes.

In the end this is yet another mosquito repellent that doesn't work and has a shoddy design to boot.

I was so excited that I had found a product that worked for mosquitos.  Unfortunately it doesn't work at all. Someone recommended this product to me for my children.  I've used it several times on me and my kids and we all get bitten repeatedly.  Bummer it doesn't work and smells really bad

It does not capture mosquitos from a large area. We have 7 acres and I put this one by our patio which is 10' x 12' and the product does not capture enough mosquitoes to keep them from biting us on the patio. Does a good job with the flys on the stick paper. I am told that mosquitoes stay in a small are and so the vac only those in a small radius.

May be mildly effective, but far short of eliminating all mosquito bites.  Wearing this alone just doesn't cut it.

The rackets certainly zaps mosquitoes on the fly, but its battery life just doesn't do it. The racket has to be charged constantly to zap appropriately. I live in Mexico and have lots of mosquitoes. I keep it by my bed at night, but the battery is pretty much dead in the morning, even though I obviously do not use it in my sleep to the best of my knowledge. I will contact supplier to see if my unit is defective or what.
Considering this experience, I would probably never consider a non rechargeable unit as I can just imagine how many batterties i would have to go thru.
Also, I haven't been able to zap anything bigger than an mosquito so far. Stuff like wasps & hornets move too fast or I am too slow.

Don't waste your money........Does not work. Could smell the garlic the day I sprayed, next day smell gone and mosquito's did not seem to care.

While I was spraying the bushes, around our porch on the brick, and everywhere I could spray.....Mosquito's were hanging out around me and I was getting bites.

The people who like this product must not live in areas where there are a ton of mosquito's????

Sorry, this just didn't kill fleas or eggs. Look elsewhere.

Did not work for our mosquitoes at all, even with the Octenol lure. They could be flying right around it and would ignore it. I tried a different brand of trap instead that uses a titanium dioxide/UV lure and that seems to be working well.

I did not notice any difference in mosquito activity after spraying the yard with this- won't be buying it again.

Simply put, the product hasn't performed what it was supposed to do.

While the concept is sound, the execution was sub-par, and the device failed to attract ANY insects, let alone mosquitos.  We left it out back behind our house for days, and nothing was in the trap when we opened and inspected it.  It was a general disappointment.

I am probably covering old ground here, but I don't believe this product kills adult mosquitoes on contact. It is laughable that it repels them. I had three mosquitoes latched onto my leg after I finished spraying the product all over the yard. I assume they were still alive; they certainly had their appetites! As the product does contain garlic, it might be effective in repelling other blood suckers like vampires. I do think Mosquito Barrier is capable of killing mosquito larvae, as most oils like vegetable oil, kerosene, etc. can do when added to the standing water in which the larvae reside. So broadcasting the liquid over your yard can be effective in eliminating breeding grounds. An additional plus is the temporary aroma; that is, if you like the smell of Italian food.

Put this in my lanai while contraction was going on in my backyard, the screen were being replaced and a bar was being put in. In the interim, several weeks, there were plenty of mosquitos hanging out in the corner of my lanai. So I purchased this so we could hang out at our newly constructed bar during the day, these were tiger mosquitos they are out all day/night long. Even though this was placed right smack in the middle of their hangout, It only sucked in a few of these blood sucking devils. I even tried sticking a mosquito lure in there. It caught plenty of moths and other flying insects. I would not recommend this if you are primarily trying to eliminate your mosquito problem, in Florida anyway. I also kept it on 24/7 and same results for past two months.

Not happy with bug zapper.  I live in an area where mosquitoes are thick.  After several days of use,  there were less than 15 mosquitoes in the unit.

It catches a lot of flying insects, but not mosquitos.  I've inspected the trap several times and I don't see any signs of mosquitos, which is what I bought this for.

Mosquitos and biting insects ignore this device! The little cartridge of attractant at the bottom did not help. I sat six feet away from this thing and mosquitoes would bite the hell out of me. I finally returned it when I found out that bug zappers can't attract mosquitoes, carbon dioxide from your breath does. Only harmless bugs that are beneficial to the environment are attracted and destroyed. Do a little searching on the internet and you'll find many credible articles that discuss this topic. These things should be taken off the market!
