Mosquito Magnet Liberty by American Biophysics

Pros: Catches and kills thousands of mosquito's, the first year.
Cons: Expensive to buy and maintain. Fails after one year.

We live in a wooded area and are inundated with tons of pesky mosquitoes in the summer months. Our neighbor purchased a one acre Mosquito Magnet, and we were so impressed with how many mosquitoes his machine killed that we decided it was time to buy one ...

Pros: Works - Attacts mosquitos and traps them.
Cons: Expensive to buy and run. Start up problems.

UPDATE: After a few years of use with this product I am downgrading my original review. Why? Because this device is so finicky about what propane tank you hook up to it. The tank has to be completely purged of air or it doesn't start up, or ...

Pros: The people at UPS are very nice
Cons: Two non-working units, useless tech support, dishonest, lying supervisors/managers.

We purchased a Mosquito Magnet Liberty Plus from Front Gate on May 16, 2005. (This is actually our second MM. After promises of improved technology we bought this to replace the old one that worked pretty good the first year, so-so the second year and ...

Pros: Works as described. Reliable. Longish power cord makes positioning easy.
Cons: Manual says remove propane tank before rolling unit (dumb!) Emits a slight odor. Pricey.

I researched this item here on Epinions.com and through many other forums before making my decision. My 1 acre property backs up to DEC controlled wetlands, and my mosquito problem was truly Biblical. I decided to take advantage of Home Depot's liberal ...

Pros: Catches lots of mosquitos, black flies and no-see-ums.
Reclaims your yard in 1-2 seasons.
Cons: $500 to buy + $60-$100 per year to operate / maintain.
Reliability can be variable.

We bought one of the original Mosquito Magnet Liberty models for $500 in May of 2002 after hearing rave reviews from co-workers who were pulling "bricks" of mosquitos out of the net bags in their MMs.  We had a wetland behind our house, and we ...

Pros: Effective at catching mosquitos and no-see-ems.
Cons: High monthly operating cost: Octanol($7), propane($9), quick-clear cartridges($3). Reliability due to complex design.

This is my second season using the Mosquito Magnet Liberty here on the marshes of the North Florida Gulf coast where mosquitoes and no-see-ems will eat you alive, especially in the mornings and evenings, but the Liberty eats them up by the thousands. ...

Pros: None
Cons: I caught nothing it was supposed to catch.

Maybe this works with some mosquitoes but it absolutely does not catch Asian Tiger Mosquitoes. I bought this unit through Amazon last year, used it for a month and caught one, maybe two. I emailed the company and they replaced the unit. This summer, I ...

Pros: Greatly reduces biting pests.
Cons: A little pricey to buy and maintain...but worth it.

My experience thus far has been great. The company has been responsive to my needs and even sent me a free part...I lost the attractant carrier during winter storage and they sent a replacement at no cost! I have the Liberty model and have tried the ...

Pros: Attracting and trapping capabilities
Cons: Power cord, cost to run, effective range

I've been happy with the Liberty model I bought in April 2004, but waited until the second year of use before writing a review. I saw that many people had problems starting theirs after being in off season storage, but mine started right up without a ...

Pros: Works great in catching mosquitoes
Cons: Quirky from season to season, replacements often necessary

How to fix your Mosquito Magnet, the last instructions you may ever need. Personally I think this unit really works well on catching mosquitoes, that is when it does work. The problem is that it is not that reliable from season to season and from what ...

Pros: Did significantly reduce the amount of mosquitoes when it was working
Cons: Only worked for 6 months.

This product worked flawlessly the first season. I had it set up in the wilderness of Alaska where the mosquitoes are unbelievably thick. Didn't completely eliminate them, but made a significant difference in the amount we had. The purchase price was ...

Pros: Catches mosquitos if placed in an optimal, shaded, low wind area.
Cons: Start-up, maintenance, many "flame-outs," and expensive.

My wife bought one of the first units when they were sold by FrontGate.   It must have been in 2000 or 2001.  I went through the exact experience as samasalabamas did in his review.  Same ...

Pros: mosquito killing. They are going to be endangered.
Cons: I didnt get one till now.

Ok I'm the biggest pessimist in the world. I bought this knowing it wouldn't work. I started it up the day I got it in mid-NOVEMBER and ran it for nearly 45 minutes. NOT ONE BUG! I was sure it wouldn't work. Last night I thought I'd give it one more ...

Pros: Worked for one (1) season.
Cons: Substandard product, substandard customer service, lying customer service representatives, lying and uncaring managers.

Last Summer (2006) I purchased a Liberty Mosquito Magnet, Model MM3000, for which I paid $499.00 before taxes. The Mosquito Magnet worked fine for the season last year. However, this product has ceased working. I contacted Mosquito Magnet, ...

Pros: none
Cons: Total failure!

I was so impressed by my Mosquito Magnet when I first bought it. But, I've changed my mind! It is very expensive to operate, and it won't run half the time. When it runs, it really works. But, it runs so seldom, it's not worth the money. We have so many ...
