DynaTrap DT160-TUNSR 1/4 Acre Mosquito Trap & Flying Insect Trap – Kills Mosquitoes, Flies, Gnats, Wasps, & Other Flying Insects – Mosquito Zapper & Bug Zapper Outdoor Alternative – Tungsten

Edited May 22, 2025I am so pleased with this Dynatrap! It really is whisper quiet which makes for a relaxing atmosphere out on the patio! After one day there were more critters in there than expected! (See the photo inside the basket) Of course most are moths, but there are mosquitoes in there too!! I experimented by placing a glue board in the basket, hoping to reduce the chance of live insects flying out after opening it for emptying, but it happened anyway. Live and learn. 🤷 So far, I highly recommend the Dynatrap! It is a quality product. Worth your money! And best of all it looks like a very nice lantern. Form AND function.....The Designer in me is satisfied! 🙂Note: Take heed on the recommended distance to place it away from gathering areas. In my photos, it was placed about 15 feet from the patio table and we became a snack for critters making their way to the trap. 🤦 So we placed it around, and 12 feet away from, the corner of the same structure in the photos. We live in a century home and we're limited with placement due to the location of the electrical outlet, (Think very long, heavy-duty extension cords 😅) but it was still effective last year. I'm very happy! 🙂

Really wanted this to work so we could enjoy our back porch once again without threat of being carried off by the hoards of mosquitoes outside. First few days were promising, it did catch a handful of mosquitoes, although it seemed like slow progress, it mind blowing like some reviews have shown. Progress seemed to stall and eventually I didn’t see any new dead ones after about a week. After 11 days the motor quit running for the fan and the light bulb will no longer come on, completely dead, cannot figure out why. Was placed in a safe area above the ground, was out of the weather. Spent way too much money and ended up disappointed. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this for my porch to sit it under the table. We have a type of Mosquito that likes to bite your ankles. We have large zappers along the perimeter and wanted something quiet that catches the ankle biters not getting zapped by the big zappers so you can enjoy the porch. Hard to see how many got caught in the first night but it's about half of the bucket. They are alive for the most part so its a bit shocking to push back the baffle and tons of mosquitos come zooming out. Crazy good system. Will be turning it off during the day to let the caught ones die or maybe dunk the basket. Does exactly as I wanted. We'll see how well it holds up over time.

This is the third one of these we have purchased and have up in our house. We appreciate the way the catch any little bug that comes in rather it is a gnat or a fly or moth it is attracted to the light and soon gets trapped inside. They are pretty, for bug catchers, and we bring them out every summer when the little flying creatures start flying around. If you have irritating flying things, you need one of these.

We've owned Dynatrap in the past and have been very happy. However, this most recent purchase failed after approximately 5 days of servicel. I'm unsure how to contact a qualified technician to obtain a replacementl

We were having a severe mosquito issue this year. Bought this for the chicken run and after 3 days the population was reduced significantly, after 3 weeks we barely have any at all. Also works to catch moths so after a few weeks we no longer have any tomato hornworms either!

I hooked mine up and it took about a week, and now it's rare to see a mosquito in my yard. 100% worth it. I have tried everything else and nothing worked. It is so quite I wasn't sure it was working.

Maybe defective or just completely ineffective on the new invasion of Los Angeles mosquitoes, like everything else. Did catch moths. On the plus side, the fan was quiet. Only has a two prong plug on a power brick so you’d need a waterproof weather protected outdoor plug.
