It has decent reviews on Amazon! I don't have a Sams Club membership but it looks like a decent enough price!

Just got the non-pole version at Costco for I think $65. I was skeptical, but here in Seattle the difference after two weeks is noticeable. We're across from a public works estuary and tend to get more mosquitos than are normal in the area. Last year was rough, but since I put this thing up I've seen a steady decrease in the number of mosquitoes. At night you can see them circling it and eventually getting sucked in.

It needs to be 20-40 feet away from areas you use. Ours is on the far corner of our garage under the eaves. It needs to be on 24/7 as most the work gets done at night. The fan isn't loud, but if you're near it it is noticeable. Like a laptop fan when pushed a bit.

No idea if this would be effective in a more mosquito prone area or not, but for me it's a keeper.

I also picked this up from Costco this month. After 2 weeks, I checked the trap and it was loaded with bugs. All we've had is rain in the midwest and I haven't noticed any mosquitoes. Seems to work for me.

Regarding that linked article saying that bug zappers are bad. That is black light bug zappers and not necessarily the same as this. This used uv light to generate co2 which attracts mosquitoes.

I'd like to see some more studies of the effectiveness and environmental impact of these traps, but I think that study isn't exactly pertinent for this product

I'm not sure, but it has been tripping my 20amp breaker. I don't have a ton of load on that line. 4 light fixtures (all LED).

My 1-acre unit filled its bin in one summer, mostly August-September. The bulb died after that time though, only being powered evening to morning.

Its ok. Not great. I have two of these. I tried keeping it on my porch, but the light isn't intense enough to attract the bugs away from the windows. Its helps more once all the lights are off obviously. I get more moths than anything else. Not a ton of mosquitos (even though we have a lot of them).

I'm not sure I would buy this again if I could do it all over again. But then again, I haven't used anything else so I don't have much to benchmark against. I will say that I've read that you're supposed to put this "away" from where you will be (because obviously the light attracts bugs). But I'm not sure how practical that is...

Negligible power - 25W or so (0.25A max). Either you have something else wrong, or this is on a gfci breaker and for some reason it's tripping.

These things are best put 50+ feet AWAY from the house. Try to attract them further away, before they get to the brighter house lights.

I run 2 of these and 2 zappers. The zappers are out of sight until the bug is right up on the door, then they see and are attracted to it. Keeps the pests from coming in the second the doors are opened. These dynatraps are further out, and work really well near sunset, preventing clouds of bug swarms from taking over the yard an hour before dusk.

These devices will always have limitations though - it's about getting fewer bugs (and webs) at the house than without. Mosquitoes will never be killed in large numbers by any zappers or bug suckers.

I do have two thin panel "not quite enough to pop bugs into juice and bits" zappers in the house for occasional use too, and one higher power "pop" zapper in the garage. If things do get in when a door is opened, we can pull one out and make short work of them.

We have a lot of bugs around here, with surrounding fields and stream. Things got a lot better after we purchased the bug zappers and catchers. Thankfully mosquitoes aren't much an issue here.
