Who hates mosquito's? Hmm... just about everyone I am assuming. They
bite, they leave itchy marks, and worst of all they could be harmful to
your health.
It's summer time right now though, and it can be a little hard to avoid the son of a monsters.
I use Off, I use sprays, and still the damn things bite. It doesn't
matter how much I use, or how many chemicals I pour on myself, they find
me. They love me.
Recently while browsing at a local Kmart I found sitting in the garden
section something that seemed like it could possibly work. My boyfriend
also took a look and thought it was a good idea, so we bought the
No'Squito Indoor Insect Control Trap.
The No'Squito uses no harsh chemicals and it plugs in safely
eliminating all flying bugs. It uses a replaceable UV bulb that when
turned on draws in the bugs. Once the bugs come to the light it sucks
them into a separate chamber and into an enclosed trap. This trap can
later be opened to allow harmless bugs out, or you can leave them in
their to die. Muuuahhh ha ha!!!!
We have an outdoor outlet so we figured we could plug this in and
leave it on our picnic table under the gazebo, that way it would be
protected from rain. Initially this trap is for indoor use, but we
didn't care, mosquito's get us outside more than they do inside, so
using it indoors would just be wasteful.
The trap itself said it came with an extra bulb, but the bastards
forgot to add it in, or it was returned and the last owner stole the
replacement bulb, so if you buy this one at any local stores check its
contents first.
HOW WELL DOES IT WORK?
I plugged the trap in and placed it on the table. I loved it, the
light switched on and gave off a bright UV shine of blue. It was pretty,
and the moment it went on all the fun began. I watched as moths got
safely sucked into its trap, and as beetles struggled for freedom. I
intended on freeing them later.
As the night went on, the trap got less interesting and I was able to
focus more on our barbecue. A few hours later I brought the trap inside
to see just what I had gotten.
A mother lode of bugs were trapped inside of the tray. I had to be
careful releasing them, because I did not want any mosquito's to get out
in the process. I opened the trap door and the beetles all flew out
quickly. Some stuck to the bottom. As mosquito's tried flying out, I was
able to squish them before they even could spread their wings. Haha!
I also checked my legs for any new bites, and to my surprise I had not
a single one. It was a hot steamy night, and usually on nights like
these I get at least 5 to 6 bites on my exposed legs and arms. Had this
trap really been that successful in keeping the mosquito's occupied with
the light and not my blood? You betcha it did.
We use it every night, and are not assaulted by mosquito's, the mosquito's are now assaulted by us! Hahaha!!!
*Tip- if you are using this for outdoor use, do bring it inside with
you after each use. If it rains, it could ruin the machine.
Minor Issues:
1. Sometimes it can be difficult to free the good bugs vs the bad
ones. You have to shake it, and be quick for the kill in order to kill
the mosquito's as the other bugs are released.
2. This machine does not stop the stubborn squito. Do not think
you will be bite free by using this. Bites will be eliminated in
quantity yes, but you still will suffer a bite every now and then. Be
sure to use spray as well as the machine at the same time to eliminate
bites.
Overall the No'Squito eliminates almost 90% of all mosquito's in the
area, and for that I rate it as an excellent product. The use for harsh
chemicals is eliminated, and so is the nuisance of other flying bugs. I
also enjoy how it is safe for other flying bugs, and it does not kill
them unless I leave them in their to die.
What No'Squito says, "No Chemicals - Environmentally safe / No
zaps, glues or poisons / Clean and effective / Silent Operation /
Replaceable UV Bulb-Light attracts bugs"
Pricing and availability:
You can purchase the No'Squito trap at Kmart for $29.99 or online in
ranges from $25.00-$40.00. Right now this very machine is being sold at www.amazon.com for $23.72.
Honestly it is well worth the money, and you will be enjoying a nice
relaxing day and night in your back yard while using the No'Squito.
