Reviews for Mosquito Magnet® Patriot Plus Mosquito Trap

I just purchased my fourth unit. Why? Because it works. I live on a half acre parcel and can sit on both my front and rear porch with virtually no mosquitos (and they generally love me). My neighbors also reap the rewards of my unit and are relatively mosquito free. Now, the downside. Living mosquito free is not cheap.The units seem to last bout four years. When the first one stopped working, I sent it in for repair. By the time I shipped the unit and paid for the repair I had spent over half the cost of the unit - which was still over four yers old. Now I just buy a new one (which by the way did not come with even a single octenol cartridge). I generally go through about six tanks of propane a year ($20 each) and a new octenol cartridge each time ($12 each) - $192/year. If you assume the unit has a four year life span (at approx $400) the annual cost is another $100/year. So based on my experience, the cost of being “mosquito free” is around $300/year or $40-$45/month. A luxury if you can afford it, but go in with your eyes wide open. For me, being able to fully enjoy being outside all night without being eaten alive by mosquitos is worth the cost.

After 3 years I had to replace the power supply. Worked briefly and then would not start. Used YouTube videos to take apart and troubleshoot. The nozzle into the combustion chamber is black and clogged. Tried cleaning it. Opened up the combustion chamber. A bunch of residue clogged the exhaust end of it. The closest service tech is 2 provinces away. He was very helpful. He is sending a new nozzle and a nylon bolt. Spent hours trying to get it to work. So far. A huge waste of my time. Give the new nozzle resolves the issue. Never got rid of mosquitoes in the garden anyway

When it works, it really works! Unfortunately, they just don't last.

We’ve been using this for about 6 weeks so far in the main part of my backyard which has dense vegetation and trees. I used to get upwards of 15 bites in the evenings - now, maybe I get 1-2 very periodically! One full propane tank lasted over a month. Hope this Mosquito Magnet lasts for many seasons!

Worked about 6 weeks. Cannot get the unit repaired under warranty due to a' "lack of parts". Don't waste money on this company.

Not impressed at all. After using the Liberty Plus for 15+ years, the Patriot Plus is not worth the money. Worked when we bought it. Last summer. Now, after doing numerous maintenance stuff, Connor get it to run. Waste of money. Waste of time. I do not recommend it.

After about 2-3 weeks of use, I am at this point calilng it a waste of funds and propane. Caught so few mosquitos. Very disappointed to this point. Moved it, replaced cartridge, and will see what happens. So far, not impressed.

Does not really change the mosquito infestation in our garden or yard. Does trap some mosquitoes but they are still prolific. After 3 years the power supply died. Waiting to see how they address this problem.

Defective out of the box power switch stays on . Can’t rate effectiveness on mosquitos because i haven’t used it. Box in big letter said do not return to store please call we will make it right.???? called they said take it back to store , they don’t replace . Bought online through homedepot . Hopefully they will let me return it there. If not , stay tuned more to come????

Do not recommend. The Patriot is not even one year old. It caught a handful of mosquitoes last summer even after moving the machine multiple times. This year when set it up outside I got an immediate error code. The machine was stored covered in the basement as recommended. The machine kept turning off after a short time once I did clear the error. Once it really seemed like it was good to go, with mosquitoes swarming the machines attractant - maybe 5 bugs were in the net. Customer service has been completely not helpful. They referred me to someone in Wisconsin who was not helpful either. Don’t waste your money!
