Mosquito Magnet Liberty by American Biophysics

Pros: Catches mosquitoes like crazy! Doesn't use pesticides/chemicals. I would recommend it.
Cons: Requires maintenance every few years. Take care of it if you want it to last.

My wife and I bought our Mosquito Magnet in August of 2007. Since having kids we have really tried to stay away from the chemical and pesticide approaches to pest control. This unit worked amazing for us up until this season. Called the manufacturer (who ...

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: 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: 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 ...

Pros: when it works, it works "o.k." (B). in areas of dense mosquito population.
Cons: RIP-OFF SCAM repair network. Company lacks ethics and does not support customers. Very expensive

Mosquito Magnet RIP-OFF ALERT!!!!! expensive to purchase and operate. Unacceptable company support and repair network rip-off scam. I own two 1/2 acre 'defender' models. these cost up to $300/each. I carefully followed ALL operation and ...

Pros: Despite my complaints, I hate being without the thing. It works.
Cons: Costly to run, needs almost annual repair at a certified repair shop.

Several years ago, we bought our Liberty Mosquito Magnet. We live in the New Hampshire woods and there is always standing water somewhere. The black fly and mosquito population are so bad that you have to keep your mouth closed or you breathe them ...

Pros: Works great when working!
Cons: Works only one year for $500.00

I bought a new Mosquito Magnet Liberty for $499.99 from The Home Depot. It worked great for one year. The start of the next season, the yellow and red fault lights continued to light up, I tried three CO2 cartridges; reset the tank several times, ...

Pros: works great when working. battery power allows freedom of placement.
Cons: Cost, extra cost to keep it working, minimal tech support, can not keep running

I does a good job at catching the buggers (when it works). I purchased the unit in May of 2006. The first tank of propane the unit worked well. Found a large accumulation of bodies in the net (had to empty the net every two weeks. After starting the ...

Pros: Great when they work.
Cons: Unreliable, expensive to maintain, nonexistent customer service

Like so many of the reviewers, our experience with the MM's has gone from great to good to fair to poor to horrible! We bought one of the original models years ago, with the ignition button and the flow valve you have to push and hold down for 2-3 ...

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: 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: 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: 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: Cordless Freedom and Range of the Liberty model, Works well if used correctly
Cons: Expensive to maintain, but we already knew that didn't we

I hate to hear that there are so many people on this site that have had negative experiences with their mosquito magnets. This is partially why I waited over a year and a half to write this. I kept waiting for something bad to happen. However, I'm mid ...

Pros: Not as much as a waste of money compared to other models.
Cons: Be prepared to spend a lot on accessories.

I have had almost every model of Mosquito Magnet. The first one I bought was the Freedom Model and I returned it because it caught almost nothing- although it attracted the mosquitoes, it did not have enough vacuum power to catch them. Then I bought ...
