The Mosquito Magnet® Advantage
CounterFlow™ Technology
Mosquito Magnet® traps are backed by over 20 years of research and 15 patents that make our traps technologically advanced.
Mosquito Magnet® traps work by mimicking the way humans attract mosquitoes. Through its exclusive patented CounterFlow™ technology the trap converts propane into CO2, mixes it with the precise level of heat, moisture and attractant to lure mosquitoes to the trap and then vacuums mosquitoes into the net where they dehydrate and die.

Review Rate Does not workIt doesn’t work. Have not caught a single mosquito the entire season. Went through 2 propane tanks. It attracts them by the hundreds but can’t suck them into the unit. Tried cleaning and blowing it out with no success. Will try again next season early on but don’t have much hope
Response From WoodstreambrandsJennifer : Consumer Relations RepresentativeHello,
Thank you for providing this feedback! We are sorry to hear your experience did not reflect the high success rates typically associated with this product. Does the trap have a sufficient vacuum? The first thing to check is the opening of the trumpet and the large fan to make sure these areas are free of insects, cobwebs, leaves and other debris. We also recommend holding a tissue flat in your hand under the trumpet. Do the corners lift lightly? If so, the vacuum is strong enough to catch mosquitoes. This website provides other helpful tips for checking the vacuum and ensuring the trap is positioned properly for the best catch.

Review Rate Amazing productWe purchased the patriot plus mosquito magnet for our cottage early spring this year. Sitting outside at the cottage during the summer months in years past was simply impossible - we would have been eaten alive by mosquitos. This year - no annoying mosquitos - wow! We also installed a zapper for good measure and we can now sit on our deck relaxing, garden without regretting it and use our hammock. We are sold on this product - it works very well and we would definitely purchase another. Thank you.

Review Rate Disappointed.Ran the MM Patriot Plus for 7 days and only caught roughly 300 mosquito's (45 / day). The vacuum was not strong enough as mosquito's could fly around the vacuum nose without getting caught. The ones that did get caught flew up the vacuum nose not just around it. The MM attracted the mosquito's but the catch rate was disappointing. I have now setup a zapper that is zapping roughly 20 times a minute . My fingers are crossed that I can reduce the volume in my yard as it's currently unlivable. Ryan from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Response From WoodstreambrandsJennifer : Consumer Relations RepresentativeHello Ryan,
Thank you for providing this feedback! We are sorry to hear the desired results were not seen. Placement is key for a great catch. We recommend keeping the trap 30-40 feet away from people areas so the mosquitoes fly to the trap rather than humans. It should also be kept upwind as mosquitoes fly upwind looking for a meal.

Review Rate So far pretty good.Still on first tank of propane, but so far so good. Hard to tell if there are fewer mosquitos. The trap is filling so I assume there are fewer. A good rating so far.

Review Rate Bye-bye bloodsuckersIt works great. very satisfied

Review Rate A great buy, well worth the $$It is definitely working, without a shadow of a doubt. You just have to check the baggie! However, we have noticed that the machine appears to keep switching off on its own. We have called about this and walked through all the checks, while on the phone, and everything was connected accurately. The CSR suggested that it might be overheating, so we are going to monitor it for a couple of weeks and only turn it on in the evenings, when the weather is cooler (currently up in the 30's here).

Review Rate mosquito swatting continuesCompletely disappointed to be honest. The machine is not cheap, and the need for continued propane keeps the cost going! However, I was excited and thought it would be worth the cost to be able to enjoy the outdoors at dusk, etc. This has not been the case at all, the mosquitos are still crazy bad and I see them fly around the machine and fly away! The suction to which they are forced into the trap is not very strong, so they can buzz around it and then fly off. I really had my hopes up! I guess I need to be more particular when buying a product, NOTE to self; unless it says money back guarantee, it probably doesn't work!
Response From WoodstreambrandsJennifer : Consumer Relations RepresentativeHello Laurie,
Thank you for providing this feedback! Placement is key for a great catch rate. It is important to keep the trap 30-40 feet away from people areas to ensure the mosquitoes are attracted to the machine rather than humans. The trap should also be in-between the people areas and breeding locations.
We would like the opportunity to learn more about this experience and provide further assistance! Please feel free to contact our Consumer Relations Team at (800) 953-5737. We are happy to help! -
Review Rate Over all, great.I've had a few of these now. Wouldn't be without it. When they're working, they're great. You really need to blow them out well. The biggest problem is that the propane in Canada burns so dirty, it leaves built up carbon deposits. Then it has a hard time to start up. I usually get about 5 years out of each one that I've had. Hope this helps others.

Review Rate not happyran for 2 weeks and did fine...caught plenty of mosquitos. Last week kept shutting off. Propane tank fine, still tried another...still shuts off. Been trying to get ahold of Woodstream with no luck...just on hold forever. Also there was no cartridge in the box when opened. Sent an email but still haven't received. So to sum up...spent $400.00 and unit does not work after 2 weeks
Response From WoodstreambrandsJennifer : Consumer Relations RepresentativeHello David,
Thank you for providing this feedback! We are very sorry to hear of this experience. It's very possible the OPD valve is locked out, which can happen if the propane tank is turned on too quickly. To resolve this, please follow the step-by-step instructions below.
• Turn off the propane tank. While doing this, make sure to count and remember the number of rotations that it takes to close the tank.
• Disconnect the regulator and listen carefully – Is there a hissing or release sound?
• If you do hear that sound, keep the tank turned off, thread the regulator in and out of the tank, and listen for the sound again.
• Keep doing this until you no longer hear a hiss or release sound – it may take several attempts.
• Once you are no longer hearing that sound, go ahead and reconnect the regulator.
• Remember how many turns it took to close the propane? Open the propane now, but only 2/3 to ¾ of the way.
