Protect me from the swarms!!!

by jmdaniel , Jun 05 '03
Pros: Very solidly built. Easy to put together. Good instructions. Quiet. No cord needed.
Cons: None.
Picked this up at Sam's Club last night for $349. Very easy to put together, (wheels and stand are the only assembly tasks). Positioned it as called for, about 20 feet from the patio, threw on the propane tank, and started it up! Was surprised at how...

Poor design / No mosquitoes trapped!

by activehost , Jun 09 '03
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...

My Less-than-24-hour-experience...Amazed!

I'm confused about the previous 1-star rating! Early spring (especially with all the rain we've ha ...

I've owned it over a year and wish I could get my money back

by katway , Jul 02 '03
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 ...

It does not catch many mosquitos.

by bleyaert , Nov 20 '03
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 ...

Backyard Conditions are Improving

by fjason , May 28 '04
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 ...

Catches Thousands

by thehappyboy , Jun 05 '04
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 ...

Good product but replacement items expensive

by allanluomala , Jun 12 '04
Pros: Very effective right out of the box (with proper placement)
Cons: Replacement items expensive. Ensure you get the right sized model for your property.
I can't help but feel that this product is the outdoors equivalent of an inkjet printer: the consumable items will end up far surpassing the cost of the item itself. I ended up purchasing the SV-15, which provides 1/2 acre coverage. I should have held ...

When works, works. SV 2000 from Sam's Club

by l8rgator , Jun 15 '04
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. ...

Very impressed after 3 days with SV-2000

by teradata , Jun 15 '04
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. ...

Works great - we can use our yard again!

by celindsay , Jul 02 '04
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 ...

Did not work no matter where I put it/ Get a Mosquito Magnet instead

by saheeb21 , Sep 08 '04
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 ...

SkeeterVac 8 months old

by fourguzzis , May 13 '05
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 ...
