Title: Very effective - especially if you bait it
Review: DISCLAIMER: I've only had it up for 2 days, so I can't speak to the long-term performance.SHORT VERSION: this device is INCREDIBLY effective if baited and set a good bit away from where you'll be hanging out.I have a well-fenced backyard with a lot of trees - there's almost no little breeze and a lot of shade. It's basically a mosquito castle. No matter how diligently I dump standing water and set up other traps (notably, Spartan Mosquito traps which did reduce the population but offered no immediate relief), my yard was FILLED with mosquitos. Tired of the harassment, I got used to literally showering with insect repellant at night. Earlier this week I thought, "maybe it's worth trying one of those expensive traps given how much money I'm burning on repellant/how tedious it is to apply it every single day."I'm glad I did, because this thing is AMAZING. The attached photo was taken after a single night of operation. The pile pictured is almost entirely mosquitos. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you feel about them), several moths have been lost to collateral damage. It also seems to attract June bugs and miscellaneous small gnats/flies.I was very apprehensive about the "titanium dioxide coating emits CO2 attractant" claim offered in the product description. I did some background research, and there are at least a few sources supporting the following assertion "when exposed to air flow (fan), light (especially UV, which this device uses), and moisture (humidity0, Ti02 can accelerate the decomposition of organic matter (trapped bugs), releasing carbon dioxide in the process."I cannot verify how accurate that claim is, because - at the advice of other reviewers - I purchased a bait pack to include in the trap to be safe. There's a wide variety of bait options, I ordered the DynaTrap Attrakta bait (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BNV8H8F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It appears to be very popular with mosquitoes based on the results from a single night!Overall, it's pricey, but is easily the most effective option I have ever used to control the mosquito population. I have tried all sorts of traps (Spartan, dunks, passive measures/best practices, etc.) - with lukewarm results. This is the first time I have noticed a major overnight change in mosquito activity around my yard. I especially like the screen trap container / light combo, which allows me to witness these little monsters falling prey to the device.Oh, and most importantly (besides using bait) - hang it AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY from where you'll be sitting. When I approached the trap at night to check its progress, it was like walking into a mosquito tornado (Sharknado sequel idea!). DO NOT hang it it by your chair and expect to be safe - it will lure every mosquito in the immediate vicinity right to you, and you will have a bad time.From a quick experiment last night, I think this tip may be helpful for prospective buyers as well: let it run for a bit BEFORE you plan to do stuff outside. If you stay outside right after turning it on, your breath/scent will compete with the trap, which leaves you exposed and interferes with the trap's effectiveness as a mosquito beacon. Give them a bit of time to become enchanted with the trap, THEN you can do your business relatively mosquito-free!I strongly recommend this item. A1, best mosquito trap I've ever used. Well worth the money!!!

Title: 11/13/2023 Company Replaced the Defective Unit - No Charge
Review: Update 11/13/ 2023 The company replaced my defective product at no charge. The were wonderful and I appreciate the help!! 5 Stars!!I have two Dynatrap products already and I like them!! They seem to work at collecting insects! They both have 10 foot cords. The one I just purchase has about a 5 foot cord and that cord will not reach the receptacle for the plug. This necessitates an extension cord which is susceptible along with a non-grounded plug on the Dynatrap to water infiltration. If I hang the product on a longer chain it bangs into the house in the wind. BRING BACK THE TEN FOOT CORD!!!!!!! The new one is too short!!!! Update - This product has failed. My old ones work fine!! This one just died and it is sad that what was previously a good product is now poorly made!!! 10/14/2023 Trying to find out if there is a warranty. I posted an update but have had no response. The product quit working and I would like a replacement!! It was less than 6 months old!!

Title: Didn't catch CO2 attracted biting Canyon Flies in Southern California (Fannia Benjamini)
Review: Didn't work, but why? I live in Southern California around Malibu. We have a small amount of mosquitoes, essentially not a problem. The problem we have is with the Canyon Fly (Fannia Benjamini). In the professional article below it is said that they are hard to control, but that they are attracted to CO2, which is why I bought this bug trap. Sadly, the trap caught none of these pests. They were in my ear, biting my neck, and generally swarming me with the bug trap empty within feet of me. Perhaps the manufacturer has an explanation for why this species that is supposedly attracted to CO2 won't enter their trap? Are they genius flies? Did they read "DynaTrap" on the device and warn all of their friends? Money was NOT well spent on this thing. What a disappointment.CANYON FLYCanyon flies (Fannia benjamini complex) are an emerging urban pest in California. These are native flies that have existed in western North America for a very long time. There are seven related fly species within this complex, which collectively are called "canyon flies" due to their geographic association with natural canyons, particularly those within coastal and inland mountain ranges where oak trees dominate the landscape. While distantly related to the other Fannia flies mentioned above, these flies do not appear to develop in animal feces or fermenting green waste. Our best guess at present is that these native flies develop on moist decaying plant matter or leaf litter. However, one canyon fly species (F. conspicua) has become quite problematic in Southern California in recent years following the introduction of an exotic succulent ground cover plant called red apple (Aptenia cordifolia) which was first introduced into the United States in the mid-1980’s and is now widely planted in hillside communities for erosion control and fire protection. The decaying understory of red apple has proven to be an excellent developmental site for this fly species and canyon fly numbers can become incredibly problematic in communities where this plant is common.Adult canyon flies are similar in size to the little house fly but can be distinguished from other flies by their three-spotted abdomen and yellow coloration at the base of their antennae.Like other Fannia flies, canyon flies are not tolerant of high temperatures and adult numbers tend to peak from late spring through early summer, with a second peak in late fall. Their daily activity is also restricted by temperature with activity generally limited to the cooler morning and evening hours during these seasonal periods of peak abundance. The life cycle of canyon flies is similar to other Fannia flies, and the larvae have the same general morphology—flattened body shape with fleshy spines.DamageCanyon flies feed on the body secretions of animals, such as tears, mucus, sweat, and blood from open wounds. Their persistent attempts to land upon the face and body of the host can result in considerable nuisance to humans. While they cannot bite or make a wound to feed upon blood, they do have small prestomal teeth on their mouthparts which they can use to scrape at mucous membranes around the eyes of animals to encourage production of tears or other eye secretions. These flies have been associated with the transmission of an eye worm to cattle.Management of Canyon FliesAdult canyon flies are very difficult to manage. Because these flies feed on animals, they are attracted to several odors associated with animals including carbon dioxide (CO2), a component of animal breath. Traps baited with carbon dioxide will readily capture at least one species of canyon fly (F. conspicua), but removal of these flies using CO2 traps has not proven sufficient to reduce their nuisance. The only successful strategy identified to date for management of these flies is removal of the red apple plant that serves as the developmental site for F. conspicua. For other canyon fly species that do not develop in red apple, there are no management strategies that have proven to be particularly successful. Application of insecticide by fogging vegetation bordering a residence has given some short term relief, but this type of management strategy is not recommended as it impacts many beneficial and benign insect species and typically only provides some management of canyon flies for a few days.

Title: good but a couple of issues.
Review: Trap works very well but has a couple of issues. First off, it has 4 slits on the bottom plastic piece. Smaller gnats and such can easily escape. I used scotch tape and covered them from the inside of the collector. Second, it traps well, but a lot of the flying insects can live for a while in there. So when you remove the collector bin to dump it, you get covered in escaping bugs fleeing for their life. I'm going to get some fly paper and see if most of them will just get stuck on that, inside the collector bin.
