DynaTrapDT152 Indoor Insect Trap and Killer – Catches and Kills Fruit Flies, Gnats, Moths, Mosquitoes & Other Flying Insects

We have a real problem with "ankle biter" mosquitos in several rooms of our house. We've tried all kinds of other traps and repellants. The ones that tout their blue or ultraviolet light do not work - as mosquitos are attracted to CO2 (the exhilation of oxygen-breathing beings), not UV which does work with other insects. Within a day of use, I found several ankle-biters already trapped inside. So I bought another unit, and it has worked equally well. There is a mild humming sound from the fan inside the unit, but it's rather quiet and easy to ignore. We leave the units on 24-7 but check the adhesive traps inside from time to time. For the price, we're extremely satisfied that we have found the first effective solution to our mosquito problem. Thumbs up!

Helpful for indoor vectors such as moths, mosquitos, and gnats.I was tired of having to use my flyswatter repeatedly when summertime comes around. As such I started using this indoor bug killer for the following benefits:Easy to clean, the bottom threads off, and I can empty the dead bugs directly into the trashEasy to use, I was able to buy mosquito attractant, and in combination with the glue pad, I am able to capture those dreaded bugs.Relatively quiet, it doesn't make much noise and the small light on top that attracts with its UV isn't horribly annoying.I'm happy to have this, it works well, and I have had no complaints with it. I have added it as a subscription and plan to put another one in my home to have better coverage.

Better than you'd expect.Pros: Does exactly what you want it to. Stuffs gnats, fruit flies, sink flies, moths, and whatever else gets too close into it's little bin where they await their demise.Cons: The fan is super quiet... Which is nice, but isn't strong enough to just pull fruit flies in. They can hold onto the plastic and escape if they really try. As others have stated, the included glue pad is useless. It is sufficient for a test run, but if this is something you're going to keep, spend a few bucks and get better glue pads.Other thoughts: I saw that it claims it uses some kind of hand-wavy technology to create Co2 to attract biting insects. I've never heard of this Co2 tech, but the LED light is genuinely ultraviolet and does a great job attracting flies. Since fruit flies are why I bought it, it works well enough for me. Also, since the glue trap it comes with is lame, be prepared to release a bunch of flies when you go to clean it.Overall, it's worth buying. I ended up grabbing two and a bunch of 3rd party glue pads to put in it. It's more effective than apple cider vinegar and soap, cleaner than a fly strip, and better than anything else I've tried.Looses 1 star for the underpowered fan and useless glue pad.

Ok so I just ordered this & it came in yesterday. I was excited to use it because I have another Dynatrap product that plugs into the wall & that one has worked great for me, especially during bug season. So I was very optimistic! When I placed the order, knowing from my other Dynatrap product, it would be cheaper if I bought a 3rd party sticky pad (& I am so glad I did in hindsight!) Because when I opened the box, I instantly thought to myself when seeing the one sticky pad provided, that the sticky part was only a tiny area of the pad itself, & I didn't believe it would do a great job, & I was right! I also noticed that it works best at night when the only light that is on is the blue UV light, because it does not work at all with a lot of light around. Ok so let me get to my 1 star review! I knew it would work best at night, so when I woke up I went to check the kitchen area if there was any gnats flying around, & I didn't see any! So I was like the trap must have worked! But when I went to open the trap to see all of them stuck on the pad, THEY ALL FLEW OUT! The pad itself only had about 2-3 gnats! They were all alive & well & couldn't get out because the fan kept them in & the mesh cover! But I am more hopeful it will work better when I get the replacement sticky pads! I will update this review after but in the meantime it will absolutely receive 1 star from me. I hope this helps someone.

This contraption far exceeded my expectations. I originally purchased this item when my baby was being discharged from the NICU because we had an untimely infestation of flies and mosquitos and I didn’t want my newborn to suffer. Believe the hype! I change the sticky pad every 2-3 weeks and it’s completely saturated with insects each and every time! This machine is a fruit fly’s worst enemy but it also clears the room of mosquitoes, house flies, knats, moths, and even flying ants! This bad boy is small and compact, durable, quiet, affordable, and the purple UV light makes for a neat night light. No more mosquito bites… a win is a win!

I bought the small one because I thought it was a miniature of the large one. This is just a fan with a light on top that has fly paper inside. It may catch flies, but it attracts everything because the light is so bright. Some really loud bug has been trapped in there for a week and I’m waiting for it to die before I open it. Save yourself the headache and just get the large zapper.

This thing works! After the first night in my bedroom I counted 29 no-see-ums stuck to the sticky pad at the bottom. The little bugs are almost too small to see, but they leave a nasty bite. We live in the Sierra foothills and how they get into our house in such numbers I'll never know. Normally I wake up with bites anywhere I am not covered. I have owned similar devices, but this is the first that has a near-silent quality fan. I do have to say that the tuned black light is very bright. I had to block the light from spilling over to my bed. It makes a nice nightlight. That said, I rate it at 5 Stars!

This thing has caught a lot since I bought it. I need one for my house. This is in my office as I get a lot of flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. No issues coming out of the box. I unplug to check before opening to make sure it last long. Will likely change the pad after 1 month.
