propane and propane accessories

None of these caught enough mosquitoes in a week to make them worthwhile. Glad I watched this so I don't waste any money trying them out.

Wow, a video that actually reviewed & compared products in detail. Thanks for the work that went into it, very informative

I have a MosquitoMagnet Executive. You are using the machines incorrectly. They should be placed between mosquito breeding areas and the recreational areas you want to protect. Placing them near the house or on the patio attracts mosquitos to those areas. For optimal performance, the machines should be placed in the shade. As you mentioned, mosquitoes are not as active during mid day. The shade encourages the mosquitos to be active around the machine. Placement is clearly explained in the instruction manual. Any plastic will melt when left in the sun under a clear plastic or glass shield. Damage caused by misuse should not be blamed on the machine and how it's manufactured.. As for performance, the executive has taken a yard which was almost impossible to enjoy because of mosquitos to an enjoyable area within 3 or 4 days. Without using attractant attractant, the removable trap fills to almost 100% capacity faster than the propane tank empties. It takes about 17 or 18 days to fill the trap and 22 days to use a full tank of propane. I wonder what your results would be if the machines were installed as they should be..

Hey it's my car reviewer guy! Haha Alex does it all. Thanks buddy. Subbed.

What do we have here rob, rob starts to introduce all 4 catchers and gets cutoff getting to the second one you can even see his expression like “you gonna let me talk”😂😂 0:36

Well done test. But in our area black flies are a bigger problem than mosquitoes and the mosquito magnet caught 0 biting flies while the skeeter vac caught both biting flies plus mosquitoes. The skeeter vac is the best choice for us in eastern Canada.

I was completely shocked to see you Alex! I am a subscriber now😆

Great video, really helpful in choosing a good mosquito trap. I would choose the mosquito magnet for my property.

Man, he can REALLY talk...but good and useful information.

Great review! Very well produced and edited too!

Great video, you have done the world a great service. Thank you both!!

I guess in order to decide if this actually works, I need to know how bad this area is for mosquitos. Would you mind telling me how much of a problem mosquitos were before you had 4 units going?

Nice quick vid¿ Precise and to the point no pointless waffling on hay¿ Guys that was tooth pulling painful...

If someone was to ask me what I thought about the "executive"'s melting issue (which of course no one is...) I would suggest removing/replacing the clear domed flip up cover and if that is not possible then spray painting it white or another reflective color; my thinking is that the clear curved/domed plastic is acting like a magnifying glass causing the interior plastic to warp and melt. But that's just some random guys 2 cents. Very informative video btw, nice to see an honest review.

Purchased my Mosquito Magnet around 15 or more years ago. Looks similar to yours on the outside but inside is just one large net. Doesn't have a plastic box with net inside. I guess that's why they call it "The Executive" for people who don't want their hands dirty. Mine isn't made anymore and it looks better than what they offer now on their site.

A great review, thank you for taking the time and investing the money to review these traps! I wonder if you have any experience with Asian Tiger Mosquitoes, the striped ones that are so popular in the South? I called Mosquito Magnet dustomer support, and they told me that none of their units is effective against this type of mosquitoes, as their Lurex attractant has been discontinued (i.e. banned by the Government)!

thank you so much the best decription and demonstration ever, just a question , I have a small houseboat in northern canada, that I love to be on and fish all summer through to late fall , I am looking for something like this but is it going to be ok to have it on the boat as it would attract the bugs more than ever due to the carbon dioxide

Excited to watch this.....I need one that works!

I'm looking to use one of these for an experiment to show how mosquitoes respond to CO2, would you recommend these?

The Executive has a clear bubble, serious greenhouse effect when fan not running melting the plastic

Where did you get the 1-Octen-3-ol?

Good work gentlemen.

The real question is where can we find 1 Octen-3-ol and Hexanoic Acid in those quantity's? Spending 21$ every 3 weeks only covers one attractant, so to cover both, you need to spend 40$ a month on top of a 24$ bottle of LP. Looks like a couple of bottles of that size would probably last a year or more and cost as much as 1 month of refills. It is like when vacuums only used disposable bags. And as now 12/21 Lurex# is not available anymore, {still looking for the reason} patent issues i suspect as someone must be looking at combining these chemicals. Octanol targets some and Lurex others so you should of course want to have both in areas that have both types. It's always about the money, not the customer.

great video. thank you for making this!

I've owned two much earlier models of Mosquito Magnet. Both worked for one season and then never worked again. What was extremely frustrating at the time was there was no indication if it was running or not. It looks like they may have improved that.

Great review. I really had higher hopes for the traps.

Could you please review the Biogent BG-Mosquitaire CO2? I read it's better though you have to use tanks of co2

I had a skeetervac in Texas. It didn't work at all. The glue thing on the outside worked better that the other devices but it got as many other insects as well. I think the tests are regional. because there are different kinds of mosquitoes.

Will the mosquito vac 5100 keep the mosquitos away from you while you’re outside? Or is this something that has to be ran all the time?

does the mosquito magnet work on sand flies aka no-see-ums?

Great review

Thank you for talking about affordability

Do these devices work on blackflies and deer flies (Horse flies)?

What’s the best?

I predicted that the two in the middle would do worse and the two on the outside would do better. this is because the ones in the middle have competition by their neighbors on either side. They have one on one side and two on the other side. The outside ones have only competition on one side and none on the other side.

Dude is sneaking up like it's gonna come to life and snatch his leg😂

Looks like the plastic top acted as a magnifying glass. Id try to cover the clear plastic shield with sand, paint or cover the clear shield.

Mosquitos here in Central Florida come out like clock work. 1/2 hour after sunset...

25 minutes I see you and raise you a 1.75x

I own both, the magnet and the Skeeter vac. Magnet is a waste. the Skeeter work but VERY expensive for the lure and propane per month. I could not afford to run it.

The propane is wasteful. All you need is an empty 2 or 3 liter bottle , some brown sugar, a packet of dry yeast/baker's yeast, an aquarium tube and a dark brick or stone for heat. Place dark stones/bricks in full sun so they capture heat during the day. Before sunset mix some brown sugar (1-2 tbsp) with dechlorinated water into your plastic bottle. Empty the yeast packet into the plastic bottle. Drill a hole into the plastic bottle cap just large enough to fit the aquarium tubing through. Put the tubing through the cap and above the water level. Then feed the tubing up through your bug zapper or near the fan entrance of the mosquito trap. Turn on the zapper/trap (fan) without the propane running. Place the sun warmed bricks near the zapper trap. The yeast will consume the sugar and produce CO2 which exits through the tubing and the bricks will give off heat/warmth and the mosquitos will come. You can put up the yeast in a cool dark location during the day and feed them and keep them alive for a few days to pinch a few more pennies (search youtube for keeping yeast for baking) or when they are no longer bubbling after sugar feeding just replace the entire contents of the plastic bottle with a new packet of yeast, sugar and water. Save your propane for your grilling. And as they said in the end empty all free standing water and use mosquito dunks where possible.

Do you, by chance, have a modern low-e coating window nearby? Low-e coatings, along with the concave shape of a modern double pane window, can focus sunlight and melt plastics. If this device was in the focal point of a window then that could explain the melting. It happened to me when I replaced my old cedar siding with vinyl on my previous home. A much larger three-family home near my house was reflecting light back to my house. I measured the heat with an infrared thermometer and it was nearly 200 degrees at the focal point. Everyday a new melt path, not sure how else to explain it, would appear on my siding. I didn't notice at first but within a month it became very obvious. A new melted path, slightly offset from the previous one, appear from day to day as the sun's position was slightly different each day. It was like a really expensive, and slightly depressing, solar calendar on my wall. I eventually had to replace that siding with matching, and more expensive, Hardy board siding. I didn't believe it at first, but look it up, it's a thing.

Great review, thanks for it! Does anyone have an idea if these devices work against other species of mosquitoes, such as the Asian Tiger mosquito, for instance? This one can transmit West Nile and it's an invasion of them in Europe.

I’m pretty sure the Mosquito Magnet folks say to place their product in the shade.

Mos. Magnet Peltier power cell runs the fan.

hey where do you guys buy the 1-octen-3-ol bottle? thanks

11:00 ummmmm how do you know that? I'm not sure i want toknow the answer...

Hey, it's the car review guy!

Can you use LPG instead of propane? You can use LPG instead of propane, as LPG is typically propane, just by another name. In some countries, LPG can be a LPG gas mixture of propane and butane but in most cases, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Wow, very good viseo. what area do you live in? I am in Alaska and I kill a 146 mosquitoes in A-day with an electric rocket. I couldn't imagine investing in a machine that isn't killing at least 1500 to 2000 per day.

Alex, i was wondering what general forest area your place is in

Did you just call him honey?! 10:16 .

Cost. About 40 cents per bug!! Skeeter Vac propane tank lasts less than a month!

I put a layer of mosquito net over the front of my square box fan. Catches hundreds of mosquitos next to my hot tub and only cost 20 dollars. They dehydrate and die in a few hours. To empty just sut fan off and shake.

ALEX ON AUTOS!!!!!!! I know that voice anywhere.

What the heck? Surprised to see Alex from Alex on Autos here!

bought a Sceetervac in 2011 and honestly after 2 summers trying the thing didn't get out of the garage anymore. worthless machine as the air suction isn't strong enough to suck the tigre mosquitos in, it does attract them very well though. It might work in combination with electrical bug sapping, killing at least everything that comes near it as with suction only it simply doesn’t work.

Wait... I didn't expect Alex On Autos to be here lol

Has anybody heard about Mosquito Killing System manufactured by EPAR(Environmental Products And Research)?.

Is that AlexOnAutos?! 🤔

Fascinating.

I would like to save some cash. How about links to the bulk octanol and other chemicals, Please. My searches only lead to the expensive small refills.

Fudge

Oh that was funny...left your underwear in the car. I really LOL'd.

You're not supposed to put these in the sun they can over heat. Also they work best in the shade because that's where the mosquitoes are.

My question is how exactly do you know what peed on underwear sitting a car really smells like 😂

I think placement of the traps are an issue I would the traps on the ENDS are seeing more mosquitoes then the units in the center which have traps on either sides

wait what??? didn't you review trucks and cars?

You have to let these mosquito traps (skeeter) run the propane 24-7 or else it won’t do the job correctly.

you could have just weighted your findings instead of counting the mosquitoes hehe.. but great review video.

Only the female bite warm, red blooded animals. Both M/F eat flower nectar. She must have *standing* water at least 1/2" deep to lay eggs & newts hatch. Juicy flowers and birdbaths are a mosquito nursery. Rainwater-filled dumped tires are a huge contributor to the problem. She will fly 1/2 a mile to feed.

Did that cat just take a shit lol

And the blue rino tanks are not completely full . Read the lable snd it plainly states how much is in it. Rip off

This smells like if you peed in your underwear and let it bake in your car for awhile LOL

Hi Mountain Garden, It is a real shame you did not use our Trap correctly in your test. The skirt you did not used is important for the success of our Traps and can easy be replaced. Also the Wet Catch method would be more successful. If you would like to run a fair trial we would be more than pleased to help you get our Trap working correctly.

For those of us not concerned with the by catch a large fan with a piece of screen attached to back will leave these things in the dust, there are videos on youtube showing how it's done.

I made a PVC trap for less than 50 bucks which uses UV light and Asian Tiger attractant tablets. On the first evening I caught a thousand plus mosquitoes. I am going to remake the trap using solar panels and a rechargeable battery next.

wait, aren't you the car guy?

You should also make a new comparison with the qista machine, it is from a French company, I would like to see if it is up to par.

Remember that time I pissed my underwear and left them in the car honey?!?!!?

Is this Alex on Autos? 🙄

10:58 how does he know that? 😮

Honey!

👍

11:00 ... and how would he know this ?

"don't let standing water around" no, you should do this BUT with one MAJOR modification...a mosquito/BT dunk in the bucket of water. This will kill the larva, no larva no mosquito.

That's cute that you call your friend honey. I want a friend like that.

💪💪💪

We need indoor traps 😢

10:20 "give this a wiff honey" ???

All downvotes were from dragonflies.

These are expensive smoke and mirrors. they are so under powered you need at least 6 of these in your yard and running for 2 months (or 1/2 your summer ) before you can enjoy a cup of coffee. All you need is a floor fan, umbrella and a light bulb in front of the intake of the fan. You can put a pare of women's stockings on the fan to see how much your catching. Have a nice Day

Isn’t this the guy that reviews cars?

I’m surprised you have mosquitoes on your farm. I haven’t seen many of them anywhere on the west coast.

Good review - thx. But i am a bit disappointed by the low mosquito counts you got over a weeks time. I think i could swatted them and gotten a better count than those things. Just kidding.

E

Lol they are telling you not to run it off the home propane tank because of the danger it poses to have an unattended propane operated device fed from 250-1000 gallons of fuel rather then a 28lb tank the liability is very high for them

check analyse revelation 14:12 & 18:23, run away from PCR test see other platform for the things they found

Flawed test because they all were running in the same close area at the same time..
