That is what I am thinking of getting.
I know where to find them. I want to know if they work well.

Oh....So it's a magnet? Why does it need propane?

If its that expensive I would think it would work. :shrug:

Do What.In my opinion seeing people who have used all these things and the magnet one.Save your money.

Reason is they draw in the skeeters,but cannot effectivly kill all of them they draw in,therfore resulting in having more around when you use one of these devices.

PS.I have 3 in the garage,that customers I was doing work for,told me to take it and trash it for them.


Other than doing al the precausions to avaoid mosquitoes to harbor in your area,There is really nothing effective out there,but harsh chem spraying.

Are the mosquitos that bad where you are? I can't help but think one of these skeeter killers is like those stupid bags that attract japanese beetles.

I've got plenty of dragonflys, birds, and frogs that eat bugs around here. Last year there wasn't much of a problem. Plus they spray the neighborhood.

How much does that cost?
When I lived in the Ranch club they would drive around spraying something, but it didn't seem like it did anything at my house.

Wanna sell one? My neighbor has bees and so the community association can't spray skeeter killer from the truck on our street anymore. I intend to put up martin houses and bat boxes, and maybe see about getting the county to fix a drainage issue in the right of way out front.

Still want to try one of these suckers and I might as well give you money instead of Lowe's.

Claw,I am not going to sell junk...sorry


As for areas that have a large mosquito population,you can ask for assistance from the Md.Dept. or Ag. ,for spraying your areas.

There is federal money out there ,for this purpose.

Many homeowners associations hire a company (I dont spray for skeeters) to spray there communities on contract.

Bat houses and IPM,Integrated Pest management Practices are the best approach.

If you have a county owned right away of storm water drainage,and have a problem there,It is the responsibility of the county to solve the problem.

There are many methods ,to control them....Could go on forever ,but aint got the time,sorry.

Thanks, I will give them a call and see what they say.

I wonder if I bought a Magnet at Lowes and if it don't work, if they will allow me to return it, for my money back.
