DYNAMIC SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE DT1100 1/2 Acre Insect Trap

IMHO Best bug zapper on the market. This “Silent Killer” lives on my patio and makes it a pleasant experience all season long.

We have 3 places to sit outside and this product really does help keep insects to a minimum. It covers a large area and requires very little maintenance. It does not get rid of 100% of insects but certainly helps keep them to a minimum. Worth trying!

For my birthday, instead of asking for jewelry or other whatnots, I asked my husband to buy me this expensive trap. The reason I gave it a 4 star is because of the price. I think it is a bit overpriced for what it does but I think the product does what it is supposed to do in reducing the number of mosquitos, moths or non-beneficial bugs that may potentially go into our home when we open and close the sliding doors to our backyard. My husband use it more than me because he sits out at night smoking his stogie...along with the Dynatrap Electronic Fly Swatter, you can virtually eliminate mosquitos in your vicinity. If it was less expensive, we would buy more than 1 and have it all around the backyard. You do have to empty the trap every week because it does collect quite a few bugs in it. Very quiet machine.

I purchased this product primarily for my mosquito and wasp problem neither of which it had any effect on. I saw no change whatsoever in mosquito activity both in our patio area and in the yard. I actually got stung by a wasp just 15 feet away from it. I know it can't catch everything but it didn't catch a single fly or wasp. If you're after moths then you will love it as that is primarily what I saw when I removed the basket to clean it. Also, their proprietary light bulb burned out only after 8 weeks of use and costs $15 to replace. To me that smacks of “revenue stream” and to say this thing will cover 1/2 acre half area is a vast overstatement. In fact I would call that downright false advertising. I contacted Dynatrap directly with my grievances and all they did was reply with some tips that are all included in the manual that came with it and didn't even mention the premature lightbulb failure. They said they will only refund money within a 30 day period. Concerning the lack of effectiveness with regards to mosquitoes they stated “Once you put the Dynatrap out, it will take about 3 weeks before it has any impact on the mosquito population, since that’s about how long it takes for mosquito eggs to hatch, and 6 weeks to break the life cycle. Interesting how you have to do keep this thing past when the refund window has closed to know if it has a chance of working! To me that says loud and clear, SCAM!!!

It worked great for two months. The bulb was very dim compared to the identical unit that my neighbor installed but between the two of them they got the job done. Gradually, after much less than the 3,000 hours stated, the mosquitos returned with a vengeance. I ordered the wrong bulb from Amazon first and have to return it and lose $7 shipping. On the second try I got the right bulb and installed it. The bulb would not light up? Frustrated, I took the unit down and was going to return it to Amazon. In the garage I plugged it in one more time and the new bulb lit up? I installed the old bulb and it did not light up until I unplugged it and then plugged into the wall again. It then lit dimly. After unplugging and installing the new bulb it works again. I hope... Stay tuned. Bottom line- the device works great but the bulbs don't perform as stated. Expect to replace them at $12 a pop several times during mosquito season and don't forget to unplug it and replug it after installing the new bulb. UPDATE- The replacement bulb worked for a week or two. Now I am back to swatting mosquitos. Buyer beware!

I don’t often write reviews, but with so many conflicting ones for this product, I thought I’d weigh in. I live in GA, where mosquito season runs from March to November, with a creek that runs thru my backyard that creates a perfect nesting ground for the little Suckers. My yard was at times intolerable, for me, my guests and my pups. I went out on a limb, in spite of conflicting reviews and tried Dynatrap- and I don’t regret it! I even purchased a second unit for my parents a month later, I was so impressed. A few thoughts: -Read the instructions!! Do not install the unit where you are most, it attracts the bugs so doing so attracts them to you. Mine is on a post, approximately 12ft out from my patio, and this seems to work well. -I leave it plugged in and turned on all the time. I unplugged it and brought it in over winter, right before a snow/ice storm and brought it back out as soon as temps began consistently staying about freezing. -I empty it every few days; it does attract mostly moths and mosquitoes. I was concerned about it killing beneficial bugs and pollinators, as I do garden, but that has not been an issue in the year I’ve used it so far. -It’s not perfect, there are still a few mosquitoes here and there, but not many. I’ve been sitting on my patio for nearly 2 hours, as I type and have yet to get a bite. I call that a win!

User error, that’s right I believe that the people that are giving it low ratings do not understand how this thing works. This works over a long period of time by reducing the number of mosquitoes. You’re also reducing the number they’re going to be able to reproduce. I have used this in two different properties. One backyard where I have over 40 trees the trap would be four with dried mosquitoes and you can tell the difference after about a month and a half. It’s all about disrupting the cycle and reduce them their numbers a little at a time. On my second property is a lake house again with plenty of bugs but this time around I added a night and day outlet sensor as this is not effective during the daylight and you’re just eating up your life bulbs, lifespan, and using an electric electricity Make sure you do not have any other competing light sources It is satisfying to see how many bugs you catch with it. It’s all about reading the instructions and doing things, right I would actually give it four stars for not having a built-in night and day sensor, but I’m giving it five to contract for all the damn reviews

We have had the trap for 1-month. It attracted lots of moths, beetles, a few wasps, and I do feel that our little black SW Florida mosquitoes diminished during its use. Our bulb blew in 800-hrs. I ordered 3 new bulbs. To replace the bulb, 4 tiny screws, in a very narrow and deep channel, need to be removed. We had to remove the 2 concrete screws (that I pd a handyman to insert into our carport wall) that held the trap high on the wall, in order to attempt to remove 4 tiny screws. Our smallest Phillips head screwdriver (#0) wasn't small enough to fit into the tiny tiny screws. My husband took the trap with him to an Ace Hardware store that didn't have a small drill bit to sell, but they did use an in-house optician-type tiny electric screwdriver with a long shank to remove the screws for us (tiny screws are housed in a very narrow area..my fingers fit, but my husband could not get to the screws...a long tiny screwdriver needs to be used.) We were then able to remove and clean the fan, insert a new bulb, reconnected the fan, plugged unit back into socket. New light bulb didn't work. I called DynaTrap for a 2nd time to ask if I should try yet another bulb. The company sent me a new bulb, and also offered to have the trap sent back to them as it may be defective. For 1-week, the disassembled trap had been sitting in my family room because I now have the challenge of finding an electric long-shafted, tiny Phillips-head magnetic tip screwdriver so that the screws can be replaced. Magnetic tip because there isn't room for a slim screwdriver and 2-fingers holding the tiny screw. Changing the bulb has entailed removing concrete screws, 2-trips to the hardware store, 2 calls to DynaTrap, and now the challenge of finding that special screwdriver. Too much work! Too much drama! I could have painted a room in the house in the hours that have been devoted to removing and replacing a bulb. Sadly, I am returning the product. A wing-nut on the top portion, easily removed and allowing access to the bulb without having to take the unit down from the wall, remove the fan, enlist others' assistance to remove screws, inserting a new bulb, and then stressing as to how the tiny screws will be reinserted would be a great design improvement. Way too much work. 😞

Item works well for moths but mosquitos don’t seem to be attracted to it

No hizo una diferencia notable para los mosquitos.

When buying the product it doesn't mention that it is 120V and they are selling it in the UAE, which is 220v standard.. This is completely misleading and dangerous..

It worth to highlight that it is 110 volt. It should be motioned clearly
