Viatek Products Mini Mosquito Trap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)so... this thing seems to work.i bought it to catch the occasional mosquito that finds its way into my place and terrorizes me at night.the first night i had it, i tested it outside and found a few skeeters as well as a few other little winged pests inside.i've since tested it inside; i leave it running at night, so it's the only light on.it's more or less silent.i also leave it running while i'm at work.one thing to consider, is that this thing uses a fan to suck the pests in... if you turn it off, the fan turns off, which means the prisoners can escape.so your options are to either wait until they die (included instructions claims 8 hours, but i'm not so convinced of this), find a method to cover the top while you take it outside to release them, or just leave it running all the time.i've been experimenting with placing some packing tape (sticky side up) in the collection chamber.this seems to work sometimes, sometimes not.maybe some are stronger than others.maybe fly paper would be better.if you're wondering about the size, it's about 7.5 inches tall, and the cone thing on top is about 7.5 inches in diameter at its widest point.it runs off standard 120V wall power, the ac dc adapter it comes with outputs 12v 500mA, and the power cord is about 6.5 feet long.also... as if there's anything that isn't anymore, it's made in china.

lastly, to explain the missing star, i'll note that while there was no apparent packaging damage, the unit that was shipped to me had a little tear in the screen covering the collection chamber.i didn't really want to deal with the return process, so i just patched it with some packing tape.***EDIT 24 AUGUST 2010***

I'm subtracting a star because the lamp semi-burned out (light is on, but very weak) after only 3 days of occasional use.I'm requesting an exchange from Amazon.I'll re-rate if the second unit performs better.
