Does anyone Own the propane powered Mosquito killer ?
 

Does it live up to the hype ? They are around $400cdn here for one, dont want to spend the money if they dont live up to what they claim.

They're stealing them like crazy around here.

Local police have this warning about leaving them unchained.

Call Hank Hill from Strickland Propane.

He's an expert !!!

We bought one 2 months ago and it helps alot. Add a few bug lights to the mix and you will kill 90% of them.

MikeAI has some at his NOLA house. Asking him would be a good start :) Consumer Reports did a review on them about a year ago, but I can't remember what they said. I use bats and a good repellent :thumbsup

nice!

get a gun!

This sounds like something there needs to be pics posted of

We use repellent by the jug, its especially bad this year because of all the rain:helpme

"Yee-ep.... propane and
propane accessories...
always a good choice"

I wish I had taken a photo of the cartridge of dead mosquitos after the first 3 weeks. There were thousands of them dead in there and it was an awesome sight.


Unfortunately I ate them all, and it tasted like sweet victory :)

I've never even heard of one of these before.. sound like something I could use though. Can't even go outside some days.

were they nice and crunchy ?:Graucho

We have one and it works great.


:thumbsup

Aren't the really good ones like $1200 bucks? I thought I saw a site once that sold them, and the higher-end ones worked for quite a large property. I forget how far they worked for, but it was quite a distance.

I've been looking in getting one, I came across this site... looks like they have a lot of products.

They're in Mississauga, Ontario btw. :)

damn that really must of been a pain to clean up. I hate mosqutoes i just use DEED repellant

OMG I just went out and looked and that thing is nasty and full of bugs. Turboface has to clean it.


:winkwink:

I have heard that they are really good..

Just make sure that you also empty any standing water on your property. If you live near an area that has standing water have the county spray also . If they refuse, dump a few gallons of bleach into the water..

We lost a horse to westnile virus from a mosquito bite..

You would rather make a few animals sick from the bleach in the water than have you or your child get sick..

buy 40 bug zappers and sit in the middle and watch the fireworks go off :)

a friend of mine does have the high end propain powerd one and it works great though!

This is the type they sell around here , its the featured item in the top left hand corner.

I do get rid of any still water, but I do have a running creek in the back yard. This year has been pretty bad for mosquitoes because of all the rain , usually by July when it warms up, a lot of them dissapear.I also have a zapper, but quit using it a few years ago, they kill too many other insects besides mosquitoes:2 cents:

I have 4 of the big ones on my property in New Orleans. They do work. I used to not be able to go out of my house at night without being carried off....

They are a good investment.

Do they get them all , or a few stragglers around ?

We live in the far south of Australia and I can't remember ever having a problem with mosquitoes. The opposite of when we lived up North.

I bought one 2 months ago and it really helped. I dont know if its any use getting now? Might be top late in the season. The idea is you kill all the female blackflies and mosquitos so there is a downsize in the eggs that get layed. Its not jus for a summer night.

i have this one
SkeeterVac® SV-35 Mosquito Exterminator

Thanks for that, maybee I will get one now that they are on sale:Graucho

They were talking about this on the Today show this AM. Said it takes about 4-6 weeks to get rid of ALL the mosquitos in heavily infested areas.
