Protects Up to 1/2 Acre from Mosquitoes and Other Flying Insects

DynaTrap 1/2 Acre Mosquito and Insect Trap

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.

DynaTrap Mosquito and Insect Trap, How it Works, 3 way protection

Why Choose DynaTrap?


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.

Product Description

The DynaTrap Mosquito & Insect Trap makes eliminating insects simple. The trap delivers 3-way protection against mosquitoes, biting flies, house flies, sand flies, blow flies, drain flies, flies, moths, no-see-ums, June beetles, wasps, yellow jackets, stink bugs, gnats, and biting midges. It’s sleek and stylish design blends seamlessly with your décor while the twist on/off feature ensures easy operation. Each trap provides protection up to ½ acre. Simply place trap on a flat surface or hang from a hook, twist the trap on, and let it do the work for you. The UV bulb uses warmth and light to attract insects while the trap’s durable coating attracts insects by emitting carbon dioxide, an insect attractant. Once lured towards the trap, the whisper-quiet fan traps the insects inside and securely holds them until you’re ready to dispose of them.

Style: 1/2 Acre Black TrapVerified Purchase

Very simple installation and operation. Hopefully it will last as I love the concept. No 'zapping' noise. it simply collects and traps the insects and they die peacefully. I secured the unit with tie-straps and secured the plug as well as depicted in the photo. It should be secure during strong winds. I have not cut the tie-straps yet as I want to be sure that it is exactly where I want it......I have it switched near my doorway as I will not run it 24-7 as the manufacturer suggests. It uses about 12 watts of power so not a lot, but still, I cannot see the need to run it while I am asleep or during the day.

Based on the other reviews and the pictures, I thought that this would do wonders. I even bought the scented pad to go inside. So far, not working as well as I expected. I keep seeing mosquitos hanging around on the outside of the trap. I'm happy to say that Dynatrap backs their products though. The initial bulb only lasted 12 days, I contacted them through their website and they are sending me a new bulb for free which is nice. I still have hopes of this working well.

Didn't catch CO2 attracted biting Canyon Flies in Southern California (Fannia Benjamini)

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019

Style: 1/2 Acre Tungsten TrapVerified Purchase

Didn't work, but why? I live in Southern California around Malibu. We have a small amount of mosquitoes, essentially not a problem. The problem we have is with the Canyon Fly (Fannia Benjamini). In the professional article below it is said that they are hard to control, but that they are attracted to CO2, which is why I bought this bug trap. Sadly, the trap caught none of these pests. They were in my ear, biting my neck, and generally swarming me with the bug trap empty within feet of me. Perhaps the manufacturer has an explanation for why this species that is supposedly attracted to CO2 won't enter their trap? Are they genius flies? Did they read "DynaTrap" on the device and warn all of their friends? Money was NOT well spent on this thing. What a disappointment.

CANYON FLY

Canyon flies (Fannia benjamini complex) are an emerging urban pest in California. These are native flies that have existed in western North America for a very long time. There are seven related fly species within this complex, which collectively are called "canyon flies" due to their geographic association with natural canyons, particularly those within coastal and inland mountain ranges where oak trees dominate the landscape. While distantly related to the other Fannia flies mentioned above, these flies do not appear to develop in animal feces or fermenting green waste. Our best guess at present is that these native flies develop on moist decaying plant matter or leaf litter. However, one canyon fly species (F. conspicua) has become quite problematic in Southern California in recent years following the introduction of an exotic succulent ground cover plant called red apple (Aptenia cordifolia) which was first introduced into the United States in the mid-1980’s and is now widely planted in hillside communities for erosion control and fire protection. The decaying understory of red apple has proven to be an excellent developmental site for this fly species and canyon fly numbers can become incredibly problematic in communities where this plant is common.

Adult canyon flies are similar in size to the little house fly but can be distinguished from other flies by their three-spotted abdomen and yellow coloration at the base of their antennae.

Like other Fannia flies, canyon flies are not tolerant of high temperatures and adult numbers tend to peak from late spring through early summer, with a second peak in late fall. Their daily activity is also restricted by temperature with activity generally limited to the cooler morning and evening hours during these seasonal periods of peak abundance. The life cycle of canyon flies is similar to other Fannia flies, and the larvae have the same general morphology—flattened body shape with fleshy spines.
Damage

Canyon flies feed on the body secretions of animals, such as tears, mucus, sweat, and blood from open wounds. Their persistent attempts to land upon the face and body of the host can result in considerable nuisance to humans. While they cannot bite or make a wound to feed upon blood, they do have small prestomal teeth on their mouthparts which they can use to scrape at mucous membranes around the eyes of animals to encourage production of tears or other eye secretions. These flies have been associated with the transmission of an eye worm to cattle.
Management of Canyon Flies

Adult canyon flies are very difficult to manage. Because these flies feed on animals, they are attracted to several odors associated with animals including carbon dioxide (CO2), a component of animal breath. Traps baited with carbon dioxide will readily capture at least one species of canyon fly (F. conspicua), but removal of these flies using CO2 traps has not proven sufficient to reduce their nuisance. The only successful strategy identified to date for management of these flies is removal of the red apple plant that serves as the developmental site for F. conspicua. For other canyon fly species that do not develop in red apple, there are no management strategies that have proven to be particularly successful. Application of insecticide by fogging vegetation bordering a residence has given some short term relief, but this type of management strategy is not recommended as it impacts many beneficial and benign insect species and typically only provides some management of canyon flies for a few days.

An Excellent Second Line of Defense for Mosquitoes.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Style: 1/2 Acre Tungsten TrapVerified Purchase

Summary: Read the product literature; works as advertised and directed. Place away from common gathering areas and start early in the year.

A bit of background: I live in Zone 8a (Dallas, TX) and the summers here are hot and, at time, uncomfortably humid. My particular neighborhood was built over wetlands a half-century ago. Because of that, there's ample ground for mosquitoes to live and reproduce. My body reacts very poorly to mosquitoes; I tend to develop welts that get bright, bright red and take a week or two to heal properly. Often, during summer evenings, I'm limited to staying indoors unless I decide to douse myself in pure DEET.

Not wanting to harm a declining bee population, I employed a multi-layer approach to controlling the mosquito population to reclaim my summers. First, I set traps along the perimeter of my property (about 1/3 acre) in some Home Depot buckets with bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis pellets (BTI) (just water and some pellets). I set these out as soon as the last freeze passed. I change out the buckets about every 3 weeks, or after a big rain. I also put pellets down into the catch basins of my property's drains. This way, any water flowing out of the drains will be treated with the BTI and the mosquito reproductive cycle interrupted. Any standing water around my property also gets BTI treatment every 3 weeks.

Next, this is where the Dynatrap comes in. I setup the Dynatrap at the corner of my property, about 100 feet away from our patio, where we congregate or spend most of our time outside. I set up the trap about two weeks after the last freeze. This was around the time the soil temps reach 55F and I fertilized our yard. I included a small octenol lure in the basin of the trap to boost its effectiveness. Once setup, I left the Dynatrap running 24/7. I think this is where people get hung up. In order for the product to work, it has to constantly run. It serves as a "good enough" bait target when humans aren't around.

Think of it this way: if you're driving from Austin to Dallas and want to eat BBQ, you'll stop at the Rudy's in Waco and it's fine. But if you're in Austin or Dallas, you're either getting Franklin or Pecan Lodge. The Dynatrap is the Waco Rudy's. When there's no humans (Franklin or Pecan Lodge), then the Dynatrap works in attracting mosquitoes. However, if you're around, you're a better snack than the Dynatrap. This is why it's so important to 1) put the Dynatrap in a part of your yard you do not frequent and 2) leave it running 24/7.

After emptying the trap for the first time, I noticed about 3 dozen mosquitoes. While it doesn't sound like a lot, it means these 3 dozen early-season mosquitoes do not have a chance to reproduce and make hundreds, maybe thousands, more. Also, if you take away places they can reproduce (with the BTI traps and pellets), it drastically cuts down their ability to reproduce effectively. I change the octenol lure every 3 weeks, in conjunction with me applying more BTI pellets to my drains and standing water traps.

In addition to the BTI treatments and Dynatrap, my last line of defense is a repellent. I spray a mosquito barrier (99% garlic juice) around the perimeter of my property every 2-3 weeks depending on the amount of rain we receive. This seems to sir them up pretty good and chase them away.

So far, so good. I'm not expecting complete mosquito elimination, and neither should you. Anyone knocking this product because they plugged it in and got a bite a day later is setting unrealistic expectations and not reading the product directions. The instructions specifically say you need to wait 42 days.

However, I am expecting a reduction in the amount of bites I get on a warm June evening. Also, I'm not expecting the Dynatrap to be the end-all, be-all solution to mosquito control. Mosquito control requires vigilance and consistency. I'll need to treat standing water all around my property until the first freeze. I also know my mileage may vary if my neighbors don't do their part. However, with BTI, the Dynatrap, and mosquito repellants, I think I stand a fighting chance at enjoying my summers outside not doused in DEET.

UPDATE 7/30/21. We’ve been using the Dynatrap all spring and summer. We had an extraordinarily wet spring into mid summer, causing an explosion of mosquitoes in the area—but not in our back yard. To be clear: we still have some mosquitoes around and we still use bug spray, fog, and other preventative measures, but there’s a noticeable drop in mosquitoes when we’d otherwise be swarmed.

We still change out the octenol lure every 3 weeks, use garlic juice around the perimeter, and wear bug spray. I think the Dynatrap works pretty well. I’ll report again at the end of the season.

In sum:
-Read the directions.
-Read the directions, seriously.
-Place away from where you gather, leave running 24/7.
-Use a lure to maximize effectiveness.
-Start early in the season.
-Consider using other controls techniques to maximize mosquitogeddon.

Aspiradora de insectos voladores: Diseño bonito, parcialmente efectivo 75% y zumbido constante.

Reviewed in Mexico on May 6, 2023

Style: 1/2 Acre Tungsten TrapVerified Purchase

El diseño es magnifico. Es estéticamente perfecto. No es un mata insectos, es una aspiradora de insectos y los retiene en su parte inferior. Tuve un zapper que se me descompuso, compre otro similar y no funcionó, opté por este aparato buscando algo que no fuera desechable y más efectivo a largo plazo.
Desventajas: 1) La luz negra que usa para atraer los insectos no es tan efectiva como la de los Zapper, y 2) El ventilador genera un zumbido bajo pero constante, que a pesar de que le puse aceite es el diseño de las aspas del ventilador que al cortar el aire genera el ruido. Lo compre para mosquitos dentro de recamará y funciona parcialmente, porque no los atrae completamente yo le daría un 75% de efectividad.

La lampara duro una semana y perdió su intensidad y en consecuencia su capacidad de atraer mosquitos, tuve que buscar y comprar otra nueva.
