DynaTrap DT1130SR Mosquito & Flying Insect Trap - Outdoor/Indoor, Fly Catcher, Plug-in Bug Catcher/Bug Light, 1/2 Acre Coverage, Black

If you’re like me and want fewer bugs without the obnoxious zap-pop-sizzle soundtrack, this DynaTrap DT1130-GRSR is a summer sanity-saver.I’ve been using it for a bit now and have absolutely noticed a reduction in mosquitoes, gnats, and flying pests around the yard. It runs quietly, draws the bugs in, and does its thing without drawing attention—or making you jump every time it zaps something (because it doesn’t!). It's super easy to use, just plug it in. Cleaning is a breeze, just open the door at the bottom. I have mine hung on a shepherd hook, I just unplug it and empty it over a trash can.Color: The dark green is perfect—it blends seamlessly with trees, plants, or patio décor.Durability: The unit feels sturdy and well made—like it’s built to outlast a full season and then some.Effectiveness: The UV light works well as a lure, and the fan pulls bugs in without noise or smell.Coverage: Designed for up to ½ acre, it’s great for backyards, patios, and garden areas.Bonus: It’s a great alternative to traditional bug zappers if you’re not a fan of flying sparks or fried-moth smell.Cons? Not many, but a few things to note:– It needs power access (not solar), so plan placement near an outlet.– Like all traps, it takes some time to really see the full effect—but it’s working.– You’ll want to clean the trap regularly for peak performance.Bottom line: It's a good value for the money, quiet, clean, and effective. For folks who want to reclaim their yard from summer pests without the drama.

I just bought this to replace the last model (I threw the instructions away and could not — for the life of me — figure out how to change the bulb).The last one was EXCELLENT with killing Florida mosquitoes. Mosquitos are our state bird and it’s a BIG problem here. Further, I have 350 feet of garden beds — so I get a LOT of mosquitoes. It handled about 90% of them last summer.I’ve just installed the new unit (in the last hour) so I’m not sure if it’s effective as the last model — but I have little doubt.I want to point out the improvements: there’s a clip at the top to open the bulb case. So it’s EASY to replace. I have a LOT of doubt this bulb will last 20k hours (as they claim). The last model claimed 3k hours (but we will see - I have spare bulbs to hand when it’s time to change).The bottom also has a release clip to easily dump the basket. This is HUGE improvement.Finally: if you notice it’s not as effective, change the bulb. Even if the bulb is on, the UV can decline and stop attracting them. You can buy a 4 pack of bulbs on Amazon for like $15. It’s worth it.The product works WELL so long as you replace the bulb when it’s slowing down on efficacy.

It works, finally! A big remover for the hot summer month. I have for sure noticed a decrease in mosquitoes. It does capture them well and hold them inside alive. The one thing I never thought of, though it catches them it also attracts more bugs because of the up light. I haven’t noticed an issue but I have noticed more bugs but they do get caught. It is very pretty to look at and you don’t hear a zapping every two seconds which is nice. I don’t love the push on/off button it’s a bit hard to press when it’s hanging. Wish it came with a remote or easier way to turn off, especially if it’s hanging a ways from the area. The cord too is also very short. We needed an extension cord which I don’t love because it doesn’t look great, and was an extra purchase. Other than this it’s amazing. I will be getting one for my parents home. I leave it on 24hrs and shut it off during storms. I would remember the bugs don’t die right away. They are alive inside and are only being caught. So discarding should be done at a distance from the location being used. If the fan or machine is turned off I am not sure if they can get out because the fan and flap is not functioning. I love the color green as it blends nicely. Thick black cord to plug in and easy instructions. Good brand and well known. I love that you can get a RP light if necessary which helps. It is a nice size and covers about 1/2 acre which is perfect for our Apt balcony. It was a great value and on sale which was nice. Thought was hard to tell the difference of the other models outside of the coverage of area.

Added the Dynatrap, the mosquito lure on second day. After 6 days it got lots of mosquitoes! I lowered the hanging height to 3 feet.Electric mosquito killer doesn’t work. It kills moths. If you target biting mosquitoes. This one with the lure!

It does work in trapping moths, flies, other flying insects however it you’re looking for an end all for mosquitoes it’s a bit overhyped. It does attract some but not that great. I tried using this inside the house because I had a few mosquitoes flying around…one week later more bites a, a few moths and no mosquitoes…and they’re still wreaking havoc in my house and taking regular blood samples : (As far as servicing a specific area, I don’t see it,I’ll be outside where it resides all day long and the mosquitoes are in full force. When I open the trap, there are a few but not as many as I would have expected.I’m not sure that all mosquitoes are attracted to this or any blue light trap such as an Evo which sadly does not work on them either.

The trouble with reviews is you can't always believe them but here goes. We had a bug zapper and thought it was doing a great job but when I looked in the tray, it was mostly dead moths. Now maybe the mosquitoes were just disintegrated by the "zap". In any event I decided to try this dynatrap as I don't like the idea of spraying chemical as we have grand children who come to visit and have way too many mosquito bites. After 2 days of leaving the dynatrap on, I looked in the "cage" and while there were some moths, there were also a good number of small mosquitos looking bugs as well. Im happy with that for even if this trap gets rid of some but not all bugs that bite, it is well worth it.

This thing kills bugs exactly like it should...... bugs are very much attracted to it and they die die die..... posted by Jent.
