My rhino stopped catching skeeters. The engine runs and it burns propane, has new tape and bait, still no mosquitoes.

Mine stops catching mosquito's when the fan gets plugged up with dead mosquito's. I have to pull the top off and clean the dead bodies out with a tooth brush and warm soapy water. I spray cooking Pam on the blades and around the intake to keep them from sticking.

I feel your pain. Only mosquitoes I catch are on the sticky surround tape, along with some flies, but also moths and other beneficial critters. These results with both types of bait/lure. On my second propane fill of the season, and not a single mosquito in the screen drawer. On the other hand, the nearby Paraclipse Mosquito trap http://www.paraclipse.com/MosquitoEliminator.asp is full. With the Paraclipse, though, you need an electrical supply.

Check to see if there is anything stuck in the trap. Food, debris, rodent, etc. I would also try using fresh batteries to see if that helps. Good luck.

We caught a harmless snake in ours and checked with the department of conservation and mineral oil should be used so may work on other creatures........ (I know this is a very late reply but in case anything else gets stuck !!!)

Propane tank...lasts a long time, running full-time. There are three bait systems...a bait lure, subtle red light, and a replaceable sticky cardboard band around the outside. Mosquitoes are caught in a trap drawer that is easily emptied and on the sticky band. We live in NE Idaho in the Rockies...not totally unlike Alaska. We are usually taken over when outside. We've run this machine for about 3 years now in the summer, moving it around now and then in our front, side and back yards. We're really, really pleased. We had a glitch one time while still under warranty,and a rep. spent about 45 min. on the phone with my husband, helping him to check it out. Not having success, she sent us a new part, gratis. Good business!! We use about two lures in a summer, two or three sticky bands, and replace them on-line at Amazon.

I used it in my dynatrap. It's not effective on the tiger mosquito. It does work on all else

No, not as it comes. Know that I purchased this, and tried all the tips. I caught very few insects despite mosquito and a flea infestation of 3 long months. The Mosquitos are ongoing due to the tropical environment. I recommend to not purchase the item.

This trap did not trap but one or two mosquitoes, not a single fly. Look for something else.

It's not an instant fix...give it some time to work its magic. Your gnat population should be diminished significantly, and the remaining few should die out pretty soon. I continued to see a stray gnat for a while, and I didn't even notice when that stopped because there were so few at that point. You followed the instructions to put the powder a third of the way in the pot, right? In addition to that, I also sprinkled some around the surface dirt and watered it in. That might help you, too.

I have two units in my 18 x 30 deck on a green belt and glad to have them ; it cuts down the mosquitos by 80-90 %. It works well from about 3-5 ft from where you sit.On a windy day may not be the answer for skeeters.This product does work, just use it with in it's capabilities. Nothing works 100 % against mosquitos.

We've had ours running for about a month here in CT. It's working great for us. Our results vary but some nights we get 10-15 and other nights 20-30. We keep it running all the time. If you shut it off the vacuum stops and any caught mosquitos that haven't died yet can fly back out. We still have lots of mosquitos but at least I know we're catching some.

This is what I do for those fungus gnats. I grind up 1 Mosquito Dunk into a powder and mix it with the soil. It prohibits the larvae from being able to feed. The same way it prevents mosquito larvae from feeding, it seems to work well for me. I usually get a handful that hatch and then nothing. The dunks are available at Home Depot.

Where I live we normally don't have many mosquitoes, but this year for some reason we have quite a few. None get thru the screen. By the way, just yesterday I was looking at the screen on the porch and thinking to myself it's one of the best investments I've ever made. It's now over a year old and still looks as if I put it up yesterday. It looks bran new. Not a mark or ding anywhere.

I'm having a constant fruit fly problem. I'm about to resort to neem oil, I think they may have laid eggs inside of it. I open it up daily and at least 50 or 60 fly out.

Mosquitos aren't attracted to UV light, the only thing that would attract them I 'think' is the lure, but then it would only be incidental that they happen to fly through the grill and die.

I think the best place is in the manufacturer's warehouse. I used it for a year and didn't trap any Mosquitos. Just a few moths.

this thing didn't scare off any flying insects from building high rises in our yard, right next to it..waste of money, 'fraid to say..we finally contacted local mosquito yard control and they sprayed and we found dead wasps, yellow jackets, spiders everywhere - it was awesome! we got our yard back!! good luck to you

More or less. We saw a slight reduction in them. Also catches lots of small flying insects. We leave it running 24/7 in our small backyard during mosquito season.
