DT1130SR 1/2 Acre Mosquito & Flying Insect Outdoor Trap and Killer – Kills Mosquitoes, Flies, Wasps, Gnats, & Other Flying Insects - Bug Zapper Alternative – Black

If you’re like me and want fewer bugs without the obnoxious zap-pop-sizzle soundtrack, this DynaTrap DT1130-GRSR is a summer sanity-saver. I’ve been using it for a bit now and have absolutely noticed a reduction in mosquitoes, gnats, and flying pests around the yard. It runs quietly, draws the bugs in, and does its thing without drawing attention—or making you jump every time it zaps something (because it doesn’t!). It's super easy to use, just plug it in. Cleaning is a breeze, just open the door at the bottom. I have mine hung on a shepherd hook, I just unplug it and empty it over a trash can. Color: The dark green is perfect—it blends seamlessly with trees, plants, or patio décor. Durability: The unit feels sturdy and well made—like it’s built to outlast a full season and then some. Effectiveness: The UV light works well as a lure, and the fan pulls bugs in without noise or smell. Coverage: Designed for up to ½ acre, it’s great for backyards, patios, and garden areas. Bonus: It’s a great alternative to traditional bug zappers if you’re not a fan of flying sparks or fried-moth smell. Cons? Not many, but a few things to note: – It needs power access (not solar), so plan placement near an outlet. – Like all traps, it takes some time to really see the full effect—but it’s working. – You’ll want to clean the trap regularly for peak performance. Bottom line: It's a good value for the money, quiet, clean, and effective. For folks who want to reclaim their yard from summer pests without the drama.

We keep this in the yard at all times. It works really well. Every time we empty it, it is full of dead bugs. The "noseeums" are really bad here in Florida, and my husband is allergic to them. This seems to have solved the problem.

It works, finally! A big remover for the hot summer month. I have for sure noticed a decrease in mosquitoes. It does capture them well and hold them inside alive. The one thing I never thought of, though it catches them it also attracts more bugs because of the up light. I haven’t noticed an issue but I have noticed more bugs but they do get caught. It is very pretty to look at and you don’t hear a zapping every two seconds which is nice. I don’t love the push on/off button it’s a bit hard to press when it’s hanging. Wish it came with a remote or easier way to turn off, especially if it’s hanging a ways from the area. The cord too is also very short. We needed an extension cord which I don’t love because it doesn’t look great, and was an extra purchase. Other than this it’s amazing. I will be getting one for my parents home. I leave it on 24hrs and shut it off during storms. I would remember the bugs don’t die right away. They are alive inside and are only being caught. So discarding should be done at a distance from the location being used. If the fan or machine is turned off I am not sure if they can get out because the fan and flap is not functioning. I love the color green as it blends nicely. Thick black cord to plug in and easy instructions. Good brand and well known. I love that you can get a RP light if necessary which helps. It is a nice size and covers about 1/2 acre which is perfect for our Apt balcony. It was a great value and on sale which was nice. Thought was hard to tell the difference of the other models outside of the coverage of area.

I have a recessed front porch, and mosquitos LOVE to hang out there overnight and in the early morning hours. Unfortunately, this means that every time I open my front door, at least half a dozen or more mosquitos get sucked into my house every time the door opens. I put this DynaTrap on a little planter stand just a few feet away from the front door (I know they recommend installing it away from where people would be to avoid attracting insects to that area), but this was the only place that I had an electrical outlet handy. I have not had an issue with mosquitos on my front door since then. Within a week, I had a nice little pile of dead bugs in the container -- mostly little moths, but also mosquitos, gnats, and other little flying pests. I can now open my front door without fear because they were all attracted to the light and sucked into the trap instead of being sucked into my house by the front door opening. UPDATE: Still 5 stars! After two months, I noticed that the fan was not spinning anymore even though the light was still on and it was getting power. I called their customer support number recommended by Amazon, and the person I spoke with said that the bulb was likely bad. I thought that was quite strange since my lights were still on and it was the fan that stopped working. However, he assured me that the electronics in the bulb were what controlled the fan. They sent me a replacement bulb at no charge, and sure enough, everything is working once again. This device already had 5 stars from me, but after this great customer service experience, it definitely keeps the 5-star review. Also, if you have an older one of these and your fan stops working (even if the bulb still lights up), try replacing the bulb!

I just bought this to replace the last model (I threw the instructions away and could not — for the life of me — figure out how to change the bulb). The last one was EXCELLENT with killing Florida mosquitoes. Mosquitos are our state bird and it’s a BIG problem here. Further, I have 350 feet of garden beds — so I get a LOT of mosquitoes. It handled about 90% of them last summer. I’ve just installed the new unit (in the last hour) so I’m not sure if it’s effective as the last model — but I have little doubt. I want to point out the improvements: there’s a clip at the top to open the bulb case. So it’s EASY to replace. I have a LOT of doubt this bulb will last 20k hours (as they claim). The last model claimed 3k hours (but we will see - I have spare bulbs to hand when it’s time to change). The bottom also has a release clip to easily dump the basket. This is HUGE improvement. Finally: if you notice it’s not as effective, change the bulb. Even if the bulb is on, the UV can decline and stop attracting them. You can buy a 4 pack of bulbs on Amazon for like $15. It’s worth it. The product works WELL so long as you replace the bulb when it’s slowing down on efficacy.

Doesn’t work. I really wanted this to work. We had a very wet September and October in Phoenix so we have a major issue with mosquitos right now. I can honestly say it made no difference, not even a dent. It did capture a lot small moths and a few mosquitos. However, since this unit does not kill the insects, when opened the top to empty the bin, I witnessed 2 mosquitos and a few moths fly to freedom. Save your money.

Added the Dynatrap, the mosquito lure on second day. After 6 days it got lots of mosquitoes! I lowered the hanging height to 3 feet. Electric mosquito killer doesn’t work. It kills moths. If you target biting mosquitoes. This one with the lure!

Second one I have purchased. This one is much better than the first one. It is more quiet, easy to clean out and best of all works! I have one in the front yard and one in the back, keeps the bugs away all Summer.
