User questions & answers

Question: Does it attract flies during daylight? What lures them to the trap
Answer: Yes, absolutely!
Question: Does the trap make the loud zapping noise
Answer: Hi Laura, Thank you for your interest. Our feedback from customers has indicated that butterfly count remains the same, it may even be a nutrient for honey bees and totally safe for Koi fish. Soft skinned biting insects are targeted.I hope this is helpful. Sprinkler Magician Team.
Question: Dynatrap reps - does this produce co2 if the bulb is removed ? light is attracting moths at night - i am after asian tiger mosquitos (daytime
Answer: The hose sprayer will mix the concentrate with water automatically. You would simply fill the hose sprayer with Mosquito Magician concentrate and spray your lawn, garden and trees. It can be difficult to know just how much is being applied with the hose sprayer since it will disperse very quickly. Many customers prefer the application of concentrate with a pump sprayer because you have more control over knowing exactly how much concentrate is being applied. Hope this helps.
Question: Does it work on Mosguitoes
Answer: Mosquito Magician Concentrate is completely safe for people, animals, butterflies & bees. That said, this formula was not created, tested or approved for use on skin or clothes. If you were to try spraying it on your clothing, we need to warn you that you may smell like an Italian restaurant for quite awhile...but you'll still repel zanzara! In bocca al lupo!

DynaTrap ½ Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap

Is your home and yard plagued by mosquitoes, biting flies, wasps, moths, Asian beetles, or stink bugs? The DynaTrap ½ Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap provides a simple and effective option for protecting your property. The lightweight, portable, and powerful all-weather trap is designed to provide protection up to ½ acre.

DynaTrap technology utilizes 3-way protection to defend your property against insect pests. First, the UV bulb generates warm light, which is highly attractive to many pest insects. Then a second lure, an exclusive Ti02 titanium dioxide-coated surface, produces a CO2 trail that mimics human breath. Once attracted to the unit, the powerful, whisper-quiet fan draws the insects and mosquitoes into the retaining cage where they dehydrate and die.

Total Protection

Thanks to its ultra-quiet fan, this trap pulls insects into its retaining cage without zapping or buzzing. This makes it a great solution for removing flying insects at barbecues, parties, or evenings in the backyard. To avoid attracting insects to where you spend time, place the trap approximately 20-40 ft away from where people will be sitting.

What We Catch

DynaTrap Insect Traps catch a wide variety of pest insects known to plague homes. This trap is ideal for trapping mosquitoes, black flies, and other biting and stinging insects, as well as Asian lady beetles which are known to ravage gardens. This trap is not designed to attract honeybees and other beneficial insects.

How to Use

The DynaTrap ½ Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap was designed with ease of use in mind. The trap requires no propane, with additional attractants optional. Hang or place your trap on a flat surface in between insect breeding areas and people areas. Plug the trap in and keep it continuously running.

User questions & answers

Question: Can you leave the bottom off permamently
Answer: The device attracts insects. It does not kill them, they just end up in the attached basket. If you remove it you are simply giving the bugs a free ride.
Question: I live on 1 acre, but have a pool area on one sod of my house and a yard on the other side. Should I get 2 1/2 acre traps, 1 1 acre traps or 2 1 ar
Answer: I would live on 5 acres and got 1 one acre trap and it does a good job in about 1.5 acres. If money is not an issue, 2. One acre traps would keep you from ever seeing a bug again (except when you are cleaning out the traps).
Question: Has anyone tried this without bulbs (since mosquitos aren't actually attracted to light)? Wonder if the titanium dioxide-coated surface really works
Answer: The bulbs are key to the functionality of the trap. The titanium dioxide plate alone is not what attract the insects. It is the reaction caused by the UV Properties in the bulb mixing with the titanium dioxide and oxygen in the air that creates CO2. This is what mosquitoes and other insects are attracted to.
Question: Is a mosquito attractant required? which one works with this model for texas gulf coast
Answer: Hi, The mosquito lure is not required. However, it will increase the catch rate. All model would work, It would just depend on the area you are wanting to cover. We have 1 acre unit and 1/2 acre units available.

User questions & answers

Question: Does anyone have any experience using this in a horse barn

Question: We have an irrigation system Willbeing sprayed by this sometimes daily hurt the unit

User questions & answers

Question: Does this have an external switching power supply? If yes, what voltages are supported
Answer: No external power supply. Unit runs on standard us 110 volt
Question: Everyone is talking how well it catches bugs, big question does it catch mosquitos
Answer: No. It catches beetles, moths, and other bugs, but NOT mosquitoes. Perhaps mosquitoes in Texas are more discriminating than elsewhere, or smarter, or something. However, if you want to catch junebugs to feed to chickens, this thing works wonders. But don’t buy it for ridding mosquitoes from your yard.
Question: What is the Replacement cartridge for this unit? I see replacement bulbs, but not for the Ti02 titanium dioxide-coated surfaces
Answer: Good question. My understanding is that the unit (the machine) surface (not the UV light bulb) is permanently coated with the Ti02 titanium dioxide which produces CO2 (a mosquito attractant) when it reacts to the UV light from the bulb. The UV light is, itself, a mosquito attractant. I place a small octenol CO2 cartridge on the grate just under the light to enhance performance. The light lasts about 3000 hours or 4 months before it needs to be replaced. The machine needs to be run continuously in order to effectively disrupt the mosquito breeding cycle. Dynatrap has an easy "How to replace the bulb" video on their website. Other than the octenol cartridge that I purchase from the local home improvement store and place on the DT1775, there are no other cartridges involved. Height and location of the Dynatrap unit must be about 4 to 5 feet high from the ground (mosquito flying altitude) and near plants and bushes where mosquitos like to hide.
Question: Dt1775 or dt2000xl, which is better for a bigger yard and kills more mosquitoes
Answer: I don't know about the DT200XL, but it should say something in the item description about the size of property it will protect. The DT1775 covers an acre. We live in the a city, so we don't have an acre, but our back yard is heavily shaded, and we don't mind protecting our neighbors yards too. We have noticed a significant drop in the number of mosquitos. The unit is in our backyard, but we've noticed a drop in mosquitos even on our front porch. Before getting this, we really could not sit outside even in the afternoon because of the shaded yard. At dusk, it was unbearable unless you didn't mind getting eaten alive. So glad we got this...can't recommend it highly enough!

User questions & answers

Question: will it catch large lizards
Answer: I catch lizards in them all the time here in Florida. I'm not sure they're attracted to the scent though. I only seem to catch them walking through high traffic areas. I also catch baby snakes constantly.
Question: What is the size of the sticky area on each trap
Answer: The " is equal to an inch (imperial writing) check your U.S. Ruler length and yes that is a size, 6" inches by 8" inches is a good size for mice, I will staple or duct tape a few together for a RAT size all together and hope the sticky stuff is tough enough.
Question: The release paper won't peel off the trap. Is there some way to peel it off
Answer: return them as defective because they must be old .. they should peel off with ease ..
Question: I just purchased these and need to know when once 'opened' how long is one of the boards sticky? Forever, or do they dry up and get hard after a time
Answer: The adhesive on these traps will remain intact for a year in typical conditions, assuming the trap does not fill with dust or pests quickly. If the trap is full or placed in a dusty environment, we recommend replacing it. If the trap appears dusty or covered with debris it is time to replace the trap. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you for choosing Catchmaster!

Question: Bulb replacement
Answer: According to my instructions the bulb lasts for 3000 hours and is replaceable. The lamp lasts for 20,000 hours and is not replaceable.
Question: Does it really take 1 to 2 months to ship
Answer: No way! I received my 1/4 acre unit in less than one week, same for my indoor unit.
Question: What bait would go in this trap? I'm noticing 2 different kinds of bait when I try to purchase some but neither state this model number as an option
Answer: no bait. the trap works all by itself. (uv light)
Question: How are you supposed to mount it 20-40 feet away from traffic areas if the cord is only 8 feet? Is it safe to plug into an extension cord
Answer: We have ours plugged in to an extension cord. I’ll be honest though we haven’t noticed that it kills mosquitoes so if that is your main purpose I would look for another device. It does kill lots of their insects though, just not mosquitoes.

User questions & answers

Question: Who has power sockets 20-40ft away from their house? Or is everyone leaving extension cables on their lawn
Answer: no just 110
Question: Does this get the "no see ums". ( Little biting gnats
Answer: it didn't work on anything for me!
Question: does this require electricity
Answer: I imagine it will work fabulous as you will do your property and all your neighbors property as well. I have a little more than a quarter acre and as long as I clean the machine regularly it does a great job.
Question: What is the warranty?? Hope it's 5 years for such an expensive item. Bulb? Fan motor?? Ti02 titanium dioxide-coated surface
Answer: In relation to the CO2 tank levels, the problem is that the CO2 in the cylinder is compressed into a liquid with only the vapour pressure being measured by a gas pressure gauge. The gas pressure in the cylinder remains pretty much the same even when there is only a small amount of liquid CO2 left in the cylinder. In other words, the gas pressure does not fall linearly with the liquid CO2 level. As the remaining vapor is fully consumed, the pressure shown on the gauge will drop off very rapidly. This means that the cylinder gauge may read 900 psi until almost all the liquid CO2 has gone. That confuses a lot of people who check the gauge one day only to find that the next day the cylinder is empty.This is why we tell customers not to bother buying a gas pressure gauge for their CO2 cylinders. Actually, the best way to monitor the contents of the cylinder is by weight. Weigh the cylinder full then subtract the cylinder's tare (empty) weight, which is usually shown on the outside of the cylinder. The difference between the two is the weight of liquid CO2 in the cylinder. Thus when this difference has reduced by 50% then 50% of the CO2 has been used.

Question: Are these scent free
Answer: yes scent free
Question: Has anyone used these for bed bugs thats what they are supposedly for
Answer: they are not for bed bugs .. they are for small rodents and insects and spiders. use bedlam plus for bedbugs . there are no glue boards for bedbugs except some thing called climb up that goes around your beds round legs . so its a circle sticky traps but they cost a lot and not worth it . especially if you already have bedbugs.
Question: can you put bait on the trap
Answer: We do not recommend the use of baits with our Glue Board products, as our Glue Tray is already scented and designed to attract pests without bait. Oil based producs, like cheese and peanut butter, in particular, will compromise the integrity of the glue and decrease the effectiveness of the trap. Let us know if you need any more information.

User questions & answers

Question: How do I tell If they are empty? Unlike the indoor traps they are not clear
Answer: The trap should be replaced every 3 months.
Question: We haver grease eating ants. Is this the right product
Answer: Terro says product is for "Attracting and killing all common household ants including Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants and other sweet eating ants." Terro is a sweet bait; grease eating ants are attracted to protein. They might go for Terro; however if protein sources are still to be found in your house they will probably ignore the bait. I haven't had a problem with grease eating ants, but I understand that from folks who have that the Combat formula is better for attracting grease eating ants. You can also make your own baits for grease eaters by mixing boric acid (a white powder you can find in drugs stores or hardware stores) with peanut butter. Just make sure that the bait is out of reach of kids and animals (I have used boric acid/watermelon bait successfully with sweet-eating ants. However, it can only be used indoors, as sun dries it up and rain washes it away.) Good Luck!
Question: Will this work on fire ants
Answer: Yes absolutely I had the worst ant problem I have ever seen when I moved into my new home. They moved in because of a drought in Texas. The first two days I did not see much of a difference and was about to write a bad review, but I had to go out of town, I left and when I came back the next week there were no more ants, not a single one, in fact it has been almost a year and I still haven't seen one inside or outside since. This stuff is amazing. Also my dog ate 2 of the yard baits we were worried he would get sick but he was perfectly fine that's a plus also.
Question: Will these work for carpenter ants
Answer: Carpenter ants infest every tree on my property and I found them foraging inside the garage (very bad news). Mostly for the garage, but also because I have one very nice pin oak, I placed 2 of these just inside the garage door and at the base of the tree and within 1 month no more ants. So, I guess it works on carpenter ants. However, if you use the trap per the package instructions the carpenter ants are too large to enter. What you do instead is push down and rotate as instructed to puncture the internal pouch then very carefully lift the cup back up to its original position and snap it into place. This opens the trap all the way around an the carpenter ants can enter. I intend to buy more as it works on almost every ant on my property. And that's a lot of different types of ants. You might also try Bayer Advance 375A. Its a protein based poison and if the ants don't have a sweet tooth that day they go for it. The terro traps make excellent bait stations for the 375A once the liquid is gone.

TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits

When it comes to ants, baiting should be your first choice. Try TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stations. These large bait cups can actually be used inside or outside and work to eras the entire ant colony. Sweet eating, common household ants will run to the baits and carry the bait back to the Queen of the colony. Once the Queen has received the bait, the rest of the colony dies off.

Simple to Use

These pre-filled ready-to-use bait stations convenient and easy to install around your home or yard where ants have been observed. Stakes are included to secure the stations on various surfaces, including grass or gravel. Use without the stakes indoors in the home, basement, or garage as well!

What Type of Ants?

Luckily, most ants are sweet eating and love out bait. Our TERRO Liquid Ant Bait works with all common household ants including: Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants, crazy ants, big headed ants and other sweet eating ants.

How it Works

When it comes to ants, always try to start with baiting. Unlike contact killers, which only target visible worker ants on your property, these baits include slow-acting ingredients that have a delayed effect on the ant's digestive system. This allows ants to feed and return to the colony where they can spread the bait to the young and queen. During this time, the number of ants may increase as they swarm to feed on the sweetened liquid before they begin disappearing altogether.
