I bought this due to some of the positive reviews on Amazon and some other sites. It does go through the propane tank quickly, probably in about three weeks but am pleased I dont have to plug it into an electric outlet. This summer we have practically zero mosquitos in our back yard. So, you say, this must be working, right? I hope so. On the other hand, I have very few mosquitos caught in the basket of this contraption. Thus, I am not sure if it is the machine that is working or simply the fact that we have less mosquitos this summer as compared to past years???

I've ran this unit continuously for about a month. While it does get some mosquitoes, it does not eliminate the vast majority. In fact, I can sit 5 feet away from it after it has been running, and in a few minutes I get swarmed. My understanding is, there are several different species of mosquito, and they are attracted to different things. After studying the unit in action, it is my conclusion that it is not effective on the type of mosquitoes in my area, central western Idaho. I would still recommend it, though, because it does catch some mosquitos, and for the price, it beats swatting them all.

All I know is that it uses up a lot of propane, and it doesn't seem to catch all that many mosquitoes. It does catch them, but I'm not sure if it actually makes any difference.
