SkeeterVac

Pros: Easy to use, easy to set up, works great, no electricity required.
Cons: None we've found

We have had the SV-35 for almost two weeks now and it has been working great. I react very badly to mosquito bites and they have been so bad here in Southern Wisconsin that I could barely go outside. We picked the Skeetervac after reading reviews here ...

Pros: Wide sticky paper captures black flys, mosquitos and other bugs 24/7
Cons: No fan or net on this budget unit.

Update: May 31st - Mosquito hunting season has begun! How do I know? I checked the sticky paper and low and behold, it had about 20 of the nasty buggers with their feet stuck and their wings flapping like crazy trying to get free. Hopefully they know ...

Pros: Works well when it works
Cons: Fan plugs up easily, weak fan, lots of time spent cleaning the fan

I bought the SV-35 SkeeterVac about 2 months ago to help reduce the mosquito population around our house. We live on a 43 acre treed lot with a quite a few low lying damp regions not too far from the 3 acre yard, include two small swamps (about 1/3 of a ...

Pros: Cordless, propane powered, 3 attractants+ 2 catchers, inexpensive compared to similar brands.
Cons: Impossible to keep running. Refills are very expensive.

We live in Southern Wisconsin, on a 7 acre hobby farm with 2 horses, surrounded by a marsh next to a lake. Our mosquitoes were so bad we literately couldn't go outside and our horses were completely miserable with fly sheets, layers of spray, and masks. ...

Pros: Uses 5 methods to attract and kill vs only 2-3 used by other brands.
Cordless
Cons: I hear they don't last (durability), but we haven't had trouble yet.

We live in an area that has a protected county park right outside our backyard fence. This park is heavily wooded and quite damp as well. This means we have a major mosquito problem. After 8pm we were forced to go inside or be eaten alive. You could ...

Pros: Really Works
Cons: The replacement sticky Tac-traps are difficult to attach securely. I tape them with duct tape.

We have a cottage in Northern Ontario. The mosquitoes and black flies are so bad in June that you really can't go outdoors without either a bug jacket or covering yourself with deet. I didn't expect the SkeeterVac to help much in June but I was hoping ...

Pros: Really gets rid of mosquitoes and gnats.
Cons: Expensive $269 at Sam's. Expensive 21 days $13 propane. 2 Tacky strips for $17.00.

The SkeeterVac is like Mosquito Magnet, Mosquito Deleto and other insect collectors in that a propane flame creates heat and CO2 which is similar to the temperature of exhaled breath of a human being and thus attracts mosquitos and gnats and other ...

Pros: Easy to assemble. does not not need to be plugged in to electrical outlet.
Cons: Not effective at catching mosquitos

I live in Western NY on 5 wooded acres. It is my first summer in this house, but I was certian I would have a mosquito problem. Sure enough, we have had a wet spring so we have a bumper crop of mosquitos. I purchased the Vac in mid May at Sam's Club ...

Pros: Easy to set up, ignite, and move to any location
Cons: Design flaw in trapping mosquitoes destroys product's potential.

I bought the skeeter vac when it first came out over a year ago. I was hoping to at least catch some of the many mosquitoes in my yard. I have followed all instructions. the machine ignites without a problem and I can position it anywhere for best ...

Pros: Kills lots of mosquitos around here. No electricity required.
Cons: High maintenance item.

My wife talked me into buying this at Sam's club 3 days ago. Price was $281. I was very skeptical but had read a very positive review of it elsewhere. We live on a 1 acre lot in SW Ohio. Quite a few trees in the back yard bordered by a creek in the back. ...

Pros: Very Effictave,No Power, Cost, Easy Set-Up
Cons: Uses more propane then the "Mosquito Magnet"

We are building a house in Maine, where the Mosquito is concidered the state bird! At our house lot, we are on a Meadow & a brook, very wet, and all of the soil is turned up. We have been tring to camp there, but the very heavy mosquito population has ...

Pros: No power cord needed
Cons: Does not catch mosquitoes

After reading all of the good reviews at eopinions, I had high hopes for the Skeeter Vac. I live in South Carolina and, and we have lots of aggressive mosquitoes. They especially love my family for some reason. We cannot be outside for more than a ...

Pros: Easy to assemble. Does not require power cord as it completely runs on propane. Quiet.
Cons: Is not functional at trapping mosquitoes. Poorly Engineered.

To simply state it this unit does not work! Not only does it not work but if you take a look at the engineering/design of the unit one would have to seriously question how it would ever work other than by mosquitoes flying into the trap by pure...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive compared to the competition, good performance, mobile and self-contained (no power cord req'd)
Cons: Doesn't instantly eradicate all mosquitoes within a 3 block radius

This wet spring has brought forth one of the worst crops of mosquitoes in years. My house backs onto woodland and the backyard has been unlivable this spring so far. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 6 year old son that used to love to play in the ...

Pros: Cordless, easily put together.
Cons: Doesn't catch the mosquitoes in my yard! Mine didn't last a year!

(April 2006) - The mosquitoes are beginning to appear so I went to start up the SV-35 and see how well it worked this year. Well, it caught fire - very small but it melted part of the fan. The passage ways were clear of any obstructions and I'm not ...
