SkeeterVac

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: 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: 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: Heavy volume wide area good price No cords Attractant lasts long time & quiet
Cons: High Maintenance Difficult Keeping fan clean Sticky cover hard to apply w/o sticking to hands

We just bought one of these, as well as a Mosquito Magnet, a month ago. They both cost the same. The Mosquito Magnet works well, but is only 1/2 acre coverage, but it is easy to maintain. But its attractant lasts much shorter than Skeeter Vac, and all ...

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: 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...

Pros: Self-powered. Price. Solid unit. Easy set-up. Configurable bait chips. Blue Rhino product.
Cons: None so far.

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

Pros: It really does work. We have major infestation and can see a difference.
Cons: It is expensive to buy and will be expensive to maintain, but worth it.

We bought the SceeterVac at Sam's Club for $283.00. You also have to buy a $40 propane tank if you don't have an empty one sitting around to have refilled. We turned it on around 10:00 p.m. last night and by 6:30 this morning we had caught probably 200 ...

Pros: Works very well especially in wet areas.
Cons: Fan gets jammed to easily and led connections should be non rusting.

I bought my Skeetervac sv35 last May 2004 online from Merrifield garden center in Virginia. They were the lowest priced dealer and they have the tac traps and bait blocks for sale at reasonable prices as well. Anyway, my skeetervac worked very well with ...

Pros: Works Great
Cons: Customer service at Blue Rhino stinks.

Bought a Skeeter-Vac SV-1000 on ebay. It is the 1993 model and it works great. I added the 2004 / 2005 Tack Trap sticky paper that goes on the new models and that increased the performance x2. It works great to get green heads and dear flies. ...

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: Works longer than they claim. Nice low profile. Quiet.
Cons: Clean out is a pain. Cost of attractent.

Being up North, I think we have a better chance than those people in the Southern areas to catch mosquitoes. We don't have the Tiger mosquito up here. My SV2000 has caught a great amount of 'skeeters, Black Flies, and deer flies. The trap has to be ...

Pros: Initial cost, effective biting insect attraction, customer support, cordless.
Cons: Reliability, cost of use (propane, bait, sticky tape, etc), portability (no wheels on SV-27).

Prior to purchasing, I was worried about reliability of both the Mosquito Magnet and the Skeeter Vac. However, I ultimately decided on the Skeeter Vac (SV-27) for its lower cost, cord-free use, and better user ratings for reliability. I bought the item ...

Pros: easy to build; good price (comparatively); no electricity required; easy to tell its on
Cons: unproven manufacturer; gotta pay for LP every 3 weeks; supplied tools are worthless

Bought this unit form WALMART.COM ($389)after researching these on the web. The SkeeterVac looks li ...

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 ...
