What is the best mosquito trap you can buy?

Mosquito traps are the ultimate weapon for mosquito control because they interrupt the breeding cycle by trapping and killing large quantities of female mosquitoes before they lay more eggs. Our Mosquito Trap Reviews are based on our personal use of each product and our customer's satisfaction with them.  The review rating stars are calculated from actual customer reviews which you can read by clicking on the "Read All Mosquito Trap Reviews" below the rating stars.  When you purchase a mosquito trap you are taking the first step in your overall mosquito control efforts.

Different brands of mosquito traps such as the SkeeterVac, Mosquito Magnet and other brands use various trapping techniques, provide different coverage areas, and use different lures to attract certain species of mosquitoes.

Editors Review:
The SkeeterVac SV5100 is highly recommended for those with moderate to severe mosquito control problems.  With a vacuum trap and sticky TacTrap this unit offers more than its competition at a very reasonable price.  Similar to the Skeeter Vac SV3100 but with greater CO2 output, lower profile for a better catch rate, and has wheels.

See all Mosquito Mister 2000 reviews
 2,000 sq. ft. Concentrated mist repels and kills mosquitoes.  Does not trap mosquitoes. Does not use CO2 Cordless, rechargeable battery No Mix concentrate, control mist frequencies, recharge battery $300-$350 Outdoor

Editors Review:
The AllClear Mister 2000 is a smaller version of the 4000 model and covers up to 2,000 sq. ft. Both models from AllClear are cordless and utilize a rechargeable battery to power the mister. The AllClear Mister 2000 provides up to 6 hours of mosquito control and protection from black flies, no-see-ums, and other biting insects in an area of up to 2,000 sq. ft.  Reduces 90% of mosquitoes in just three minutes. Three different misting concentrates are available.  Unlike a mosquito trap, the mosquito mister sprays a non-toxic (to humans) chemical in the air which kills and repels mosquitos.  For the ultimate mosquito control we suggest you utilize a mosquito trap near the perimeter of your property to attract mosquitoes there then use the AllClear Mosquito Mister closer to your outdoor living area to repel and kill mosquitoes that are nearer to you.

The Mosquito Magnet Executive is similar to the Independence model with additional fuel saving options, diagnostic display, and other neat features. A great choice for catching large numbers of mosquitoes fast.  The Executive is cordless and has a built-in vacuum trap, a great choice for heavily infested areas.  The catch rate is very good.

The Mosquito Magnet Independence is a great choice for catching large numbers of mosquitos fast.  The Independence is cordless and has a built in vacuum trap, a great choice for heavily infested areas.  The Mosquito Magnet Independence is a good trap in our opinion, it is, however, a bit costly.

Editors Review:
The Mosquito Magnet Patriot in our opinion is undersized and lacks performance as compared to the Mosquito Magnet Independence or Executive.  The power cord is a consideration as well since it can get severed by a lawn mower etc. Mosquito Trap Reviews #6 top pick.

Our preferred method for total mosquito control is to set up a mosquito trap such as the Skeeter Vac at the perimeter of your outdoor living area, then also use the AllClear Mosquito Mister closer to your living area.  This combination of mosquito control attracts and traps mosquitos with the mosquito trap and the AllClear Mister repels and kills mosquitos nearer to you.
