Review of Mosquito Magnet MM3200 Independence Mosquito Trap

Two units in 14 days. First one dead out of box. Home Depot stood by it. Second one ran 2 weeks and died. MM Customer Service was slow, useless, and arrogant. They wanted me to ship it back for repairs, tie it up three weeks in season, and that's all they would do. I said this is unnaceptable for a $600.00 price tag. HD said to return it, they stand by it for 30 days. So....I returned it! Kudo's to Home Depot for doing the right thing. No wonder Lowe's doesn't sell them around here!

Product Description:
The cordless Mosquito Magnet Independence has been designed for the homeowner who needs to protect up to a one acre area. Its one-button operation and easy assembly make using the Independence so simple and convenient. The Mosquito Magnet Independence runs on 4 "C" batteries that last all season long, so no external electrical power is needed. This allows placement of the unit away from the family area yet still near the mosquitoes' breeding and resting areas. It's backed by Mosquito Magnet's 360º consumer support.

Cordless--One Trap Covers up to One Acre


This proven mosquito trap features Mosquito Magnet's® patented Counterflow Technology™ to help you protect your family, pets and guests from pesky, biting mosquitoes including those that may carry West Nile Virus, Encephalitis and other mosquito-borne diseases. Other biting insects that are affected are Midges, No-See-Ums and Black Flies.


Mosquitoes are attracted to human breath and skin scents. The Mosquito Magnet Independence mimics the human breath by converting propane into (CO2), which is then mixed with heat and moisture through the patented catalytic converter.


Then, the patented Counterflow Technology expels a silent, odorless plume of CO2, heat and moisture that when combined with an additional attractant, Octenol or Lurex3™, becomes irresistible to mosquitoes, no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies and more.


At the same time, once mosquitoes are drawn to the trap, a powerful vacuum pulls them into the net where they dehydrate and die within 24 hours.



Patented Counterflow Technology





Lures
The Mosquito Magnet Independence trap operates 24/7 by releasing a continuous stream of carbon dioxide (CO2), heat, and moisture that when combined with a scientifically proven attractant, Octenol or Lurex3, becomes irresistible to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes get drawn to the trap.


Captures
Using the patented Counterflow Technology, mosquitoes and other biting insects are vacuumed into a net where they dehydrate and die.


Controls
The Mosquito Magnet is scientifically proven to disrupt mosquito breeding cycles, virtually eliminating the nuisance of mosquitoes in your yard all season long.



Tips and Advice


Through proper placement upwind, the biting insects will be drawn to the trap, thereby reducing the chances of you becoming their target. The heavy-duty plastics and marine grade metals make it ideal for any harsh environments.


By using a Mosquito Magnet-approved attractant – Lurex3 or Octenol, you will be able to increase your catch rate up to 10X. Also, proper airflow inside your Mosquito Magnet Independence trap is vital to keep suction at its best, that's why we recommend you to replace the net as well as the attractant every 21 days with every propane tank refill.


For optimal results, run your trap 24 hours a day in order to break the breeding cycle of the mosquitoes in your yard. Your trap will begin working immediately with noticeable results in 7-10 days. Allow a 4 week time frame to see significant results.
