Maybe a good thing based on comments here now about not good on skeeters
Anybody else have issues going to CA?
Pretty sure it has to do with California's light bulb ban from 2020. Bug lamps are exempt from the ban, but I'm thinking this product isn't being classified correctly
If you wanna get rid of mosquitos buy the thermecells from Costco
I think the one using bait or gas are more effective. I'm starting to think UV doesn't attract mosquito. I don't give out UV and mosquito could find me just fine.
Only natural thing I know that work against mosquitoes is dragonfly.

They get through the nets and any open crevices. If I open my front door at night with the lights on for more than 2 seconds, it's open season for all of them to pile in like a stampede.
Lolz…
Like others have mentioned, it doesn't target mosquitos as well as the advertising makes it seem (they're not particularly attracted to UV, mainly CO2). However, depending on placement, I have found that it can be fairly effective at cutting down on their reproduction rates, especially when used consistently over a month long period.
When I placed it between my house and my patio area, it caught a metric boatload of bomber beetles and moths. Occasionally I'd have a fly or a wasp, never seen a bumble or honey bee or some of the more beneficial insects. While it does catch a large number of insects aside from mosquitos, most aren't really that beneficial and are also pests (beetles, noseeums, gnats, etc). About the most beneficial thing I've seen are the moths, but they're largely just pollinators and it won't really wipe them out entirely (they have relatively short life spans anyway). Plus, when I empty the trap, I put in in a bird feeder dish / bowl and the birds flock to it and still eat their food anyway, so it's not as big of a disruption to the ecosystem as some would make you think.
When I placed it further out near the woods my property backs up against, that's when I saw a significant increase in effectiveness in catching mosquitos and other pests vs number of beneficial insects, especially if it's an area that stays wet or has standing water. I wish they had a solar powered model which would make it easier to have an ideal placement, but since these require electric outlets, I needed to have a long outdoor rated extension cord to power it back there. As such, I keep it in the spot between my patio and house where I have an electrical outlet. It has cut down significantly on flying insects like the annoying bomber beetle and gnats, and I have also noticed a drop in mosquitos (but don't expect to not see a single one or never get bit). Using this alongside other normal measure like citronella candles or bug spray makes it much more effective and pleasant experience. I'd buy it again just for the reduction of annoying beetles and other insects.
I've also seen people using attractants to make it more effective, such as people placing fruit in the basket or mosquito attractant.
It's our state bird…LOL

Did you manually strip and search all your guests for mosquito bites?
