Have any of y'all used Spartan Mosquito Eradicator? I saw it on another forum I frequent, but there weren't many comments on it. $20 seems too good to be true, if it really works.

I picked two boxes up about a month ago. I live in East Texas and my property backs up to low lands with multiple creeks. Mosquitos were thick when I hung them up. I hung them a little over a month ago. I have seen 1 mosquito since I hung them up. They are extremely effective.

This is the type of review I was looking for. Thanks.

Meant to try these out when they were selling them in smaller quantities on their site, but now the closest retail location in 60 miles away.

Not to steal the thread but has anyone used dynatrap? Have a buddy who swears by them but wanted to see if anyone else has any success stories

I have one I got on clearance st Sam's. I saw no difference in the amount of mosquitoes. The trap would get full of moths, flies, etc but very few mosquitoes.

I have one. They work pretty well.

edit: I agree with Yater. Not so much on mosquitoes, but I bought it for the flies. I also catch tons of moths.

Dynatrap will catch a lot of stuff that the rest of the ecosystem needs to survive.

Looks like on their website you have to buy a 10-pak for 200 bucks. Is there a place/way to get them in smaller numbers?

I found it on this site, however I have never heard of Animart. Is this legit? Looks like you could buy a normal amount for $20.

I do a lot of work in Texas City. I will try to stop by the feed store there and see if they sell them individually. It was listed on their site as a retailer. I will post up if they have it.

Just tried to order some on their website and it said I needed to call to complete the order. Not sure if legit.

Did some research. If it is not legit, it is a seriously complex scam. Animart is a legitimate ag company in Wisconsin. The domain registrant's name matches a LinkedIn profile of the same name who is the IT Manager for Animart, INC.

I got the same message about not being able to calculate shipping costs as well. I just ordered from Midwest Supply and Distributing. Also it looks like some place called D&L Farm and Home up around the Dallas area carries them.

Ordered from the spartan site today. No issue. I'm in Houston and will see how they work in a few weeks.

I picked up some today at a farm and home store. I'll get them hung tomorrow and hopefully put a dent in my mosquito horde.

Mine does fill with moths and beetles, but I also caught I would bet hundreds if not thousands of skeeters in mine last year.

Just picked up two boxes at Texas City Feed and Supply, $44 out the door. They have a bunch in stock and they said they'll ship them in Houston area, price depending on where and how many you're getting. He said two shipped to Sugar Land for about $10ish.

Picked up two boxes at Abita Lumber in Abita Springs and installed this evening. Active ingredient: 11.5% NaCl; along with sucrose and yeast for attractant. Still a bit skeptical, but the guy at Abita Lumber said they really work well. I'll report back in 2 weeks.

Sucrose and yeast make sense as it will give off CO2 as an attractant. Pretty smart.

Mine will be here from MWS on Friday. If they work I will be so happy. I was out back for 10 minutes yesterday and got hit 8 times. I get huge welps for a few hours from those little bastages.

I still haven't picked any up. Closest retailer is D&D in Tomball. We live in the energy corridor and I work downtown. Probably won't get out there Friday at the earliest. Glad to hear they have good reviews. Hopefully they work!

Yes. I'm not too familiar with halophilic yeasts though. Seawater is about 3.5% salt. This mixture is 11.5%. And for fermentation to last 90 days seems extraordinary to me. There are max and min fill lines to maintain the water level over the 90 days, so that should keep it within a happy saline range. But the produced alcohol waste will eventually do the buggers in.

I suppose the mosquitoes are attracted and lay their eggs in the saline water and the larvae die or more likely never hatch. Again, I'm cautiously optimistic...

Dropped by producer's today in Bryan and picked up two boxes. Put them out this afternoon (4 units). Will report back if they are as good as advertised.

Do you know if D&D in Tomball has them?
