“When we bought our new home, the
sellers told us we'd never be able to use the deck because the
mosquitoes were so bad. Thanks to our Mosquito Magnet®,
not only did we enjoy our deck bug free every day and night, we
even installed a pool in the yard!”
- Ted Larsen, Thomasville, NC
In April we moved here from Boston and bought a beautiful
1920's Tudor style home with a huge deck facing the woods with
towering hickory and oak trees. A small stream runs through the
property as well.
The sellers told us we'd have to use the "screen
room" because the mosquitoes were so bad we'd never be able
to use the deck. Well, enter Mosquito Magnet.
We started using ours in late April, well before the
"season" begins. In a few weeks the Magnet began
capturing baby mosquitoes and just kept on catching. I think
getting "head-start" was a key to our success and
total satisfaction. Not only did we enjoy the deck bug free
every day and night, we even installed a pool. As for the
"screen room," it's hardly ever used.
Good work and thanks!

"We used to be prisoners behind our
screened-in porch. Now, gardening is fun again and my family can
swim in the pool without fear of being bitten."
- Victor Berardelli, Newburgh, ME
Mean Maine mosquitoes show no mercy - we were prisoners
behind our screened-in porch but longed to go outside.
Our two Liberty Plus units have helped us enjoy the outdoors
again. Gardening is fun now that we don't have to swat
mosquitoes or suffer bites, and we don't have to stay underwater
for fear that flying pests will bite the instant our head comes
up in the pool.
We are so pleased with the product performance that I went on
a local handyman radio program to give a testimonial for
Mosquito Magnet® when the host started discussing
how biting pests were ruining his home improvement project.
In addition to manufacturing an excellent product, I commend
the company for its excellent customer service. It is comforting
to deal with a firm that has real people answering phones, who
know the product and who understand the true value of customer
service.
Thank you,
Victor Berardelli
I live on the Banana River in Cocoa Beach,
Florida. Once the sun set my family was a prisoner in our house.
If we went in our pool we would be swarmed by mosquitoes. I
almost had to breath through a straw and stay under water it was
so bad.
With the Mosquito Magnet we can swim at dusk and at night.
The mosquitoes are around the trap and not around us. I can't
believe the number of mosquitoes and no-see-ums it can catch. I
wish all my neighbors had them. Thanks for the great product. I
now have one in the front yard, too."

"Just a short note to let you know that all great words
said about the Mosquito Magnet are not enough. We have 10 acres
of land on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (St. Michael's area).
We have a large barn that we built for entertaining. I have a
liberty model and two Pro Models running outside the rear area
of the barn - this 4th of July for the first time we were able
to sit outside and enjoy a wonderful 4th of July - Thanks very
much."

"We live on a spit of land surrounded on three sides by a
salt-water marsh. The mosquitoes were so bad that even at noon
on a July day they would swarm and make our backyard unusable. I
purchased the unit last year and for the first summer we were
able to use the backyard. We can now play in the yard during the
day and sit on the deck at night, with hardly a mosquito in
sight. If I go across the street to the neighbor's backyard the
mosquitoes are horrible!!"

"Due to concerns over West Nile virus, my elderly parents
purchased a Mosquito Magnet for the cottage in May 2003. We set
it up according to the instructions and in the first 3 weeks we
estimate we caught 4,500 - 5000 mosquitoes - and this during a
cold spring where we feel the mosquitoes have not really been a
problem!
Each week since then the catch has been over a thousand
mosquitoes and now includes deer flies as well. The machine
works as advertised and we are thrilled.

"We've only used the Mosquito Magnet 6 days and it has
literally changed our lives! We live in Delaware, in a marshy
area, where mosquitoes make summer miserable. The Misquito
Magnet has made our yard 'normal' in only these few days. In
fact, we bought a second one two days ago. Great Product!"

"I replaced the net on my Liberty that I bought on June 21
for the first time last night. I kept the harvest in a zip lock
bag. I estimate about 4,000 mosquitoes, as well as about 20,000
no-see-ums, (2) small spiders, (3) moths, and 4 or 5 different
bugs that got caught up in the frenzy.
I have told everyone I know about my Liberty trap. I first
purchased a Coleman Mosquito Deleto. In one week I caught some
no-see-ums, a grass hopper a few other strange bugs and (2) mosquitoes. I returned the deleto and bought the liberty the same
day.
Keep up the great work."

"Although our yard is a haven of beauty with 200 rose
bushes, an herb garden, magnolia tree, pecan tree, black walnut
trees, many crepe myrtle trees, butterfly bushes, palms, ferns,
many container plants and a swimming pool, I have never been
able to enjoy it thoroughly because of the mosquitos in the
summer. I could not even float in the pool without spraying
every inch of my body. The past three weeks have been a delight
not having to spray myself or fear the inevitable multiple bites
to which I am highly sensitive.
I have recommended it to all my friends and co-workers. Thank
you for giving me back the joy of summertime - my favorite time
of the year."

"I am in a heavily wooded area with an irrigated lawn
and
a creek in hot and humid Brookfield, Wisconsin. It seems like a
scenario in which I would never be able to use my yard. The
Mosquito Magnet operates quietly, effectively, and efficiently…what
more could we desire? I am considering a second unit to place
elsewhere in the wooded area of the yard. Again, thanks for a
great product."
John Aghbasian

"In a year of record high mosquito numbers, the mosquito
magnet has allowed us to enjoy our yard with fewer mosquitoes
than ever. The butterflies and bumble bees continue to visit our
garden because we no longer have to use hazardous and
indiscriminate chemicals to eliminate the mosquitoes. It is a
great invention."

"I live adjacent to a salt water marsh in Barrington, RI.
Before buying our first Mosquito Magnet our kids were unable to
play in our yard. After a week of operation the bag was
completely full. I now have two units--one for the front yard
and one for the back and we have claimed our yard back from the
biting insects!"

" Thank you for making it possible to reclaim my yard from
blood-sucking pests.
I bought your smaller machine in early June, after an evening
when nearly 100 mosquitoes got into my family room. For years, my
yard has been infested with these pests, so that my wife and I
have stayed inside during the summer months. When I saw your ad
on TV, I decided to take action.
During the first 3 weeks of operation, the magnet trapped an
entire bag of mosquitoes. Bugs were literally accumulating at
the rate of hundreds per day. The second bag filled more and
more slowly, until, during the 6th week of constant operation,
the nightly haul was down to fewer than ten mosquitoes.
The end result is that the mosquito population in my
yard has been effectively decimated, thanks to this remarkable
machine."
Congratulations!
Sincerely yours,

"We put 4 Mosquito Magnet Pro units out in May and got 5 or
6 inches of mosquitoes in each net in a single night. With the 4
Pro's, we'd fill up 2 of the one-gallon zip lock bags every
night. The bite count is way, way down. They're still around but
not nearly as severe. Our season starts around the second week
of April and the mosquitoes are huge. Some are almost a 1/2 inch
long. I grew up in Minnesota and these are bigger. We placed the
units around the barracks, outdoor activity area, and at the
entrance to the main gate. They sure do take care of the
mosquitoes."

"Returned my "Mosquito Deleto" yesterday and
bought your Liberty model. In only 12 hours of operation, your
Mosquito Magnet had trapped more mosquitoes than the Deleto did
in 15 days!"

"The Mosquito Magnets work as claimed. Two weeks after
purchasing a Freedom model, I ordered a Pro model. In addition
to catching lots of mosquitoes, our primary pest, the machines
are also loading up on no-see-ums and white sox. I only wish
that I had gotten them in May instead of June." Common

"I just had to add my testimonial to the huge list of happy
Mosquito Magnet owners. We live on a very rural 5-acre lot on a
lake in the outskirts of Orlando, Florida. For the first two
years we lived there, we were inundated with mosquitoes and
no-see-um's in the morning and the evening during the summer
making going outside was miserable.
Last year we decided to purchase a Mosquito Magnet. Our
Mosqito Magnet exceeded all expectations we had!! We had to
keep emptying the bag every week or so and noticed an
appreciable drop in mosquito incursions in the area covered by
the Mosquito Magnet.
Two weeks ago, we purchased 2 more Mosquito Magnet Liberty's
to provide additional coverage around our house and the results
are almost beyond belief. For the last two years, Florida has
been in a drought. However, this year is very different. Here in
the Central Florida area, we have had rain every day for the
last month and the mosquitoes are going crazy. I placed my three
machines at the perimeter of the yard to give us overlapping
coverage around the house.
I have had to empty the bags twice already, but I am not
complaining! We have an almost absolute absence of mosquitoes
around the house and the yard where the kids play on the
swingset and swim in the pool. And the kennel for the dogs which
used to be swarming with mosquitoes is almost devoid of the
flying syringes. As soon as you get to the back of our property
outside the coverage area, unless you have some heavy repellent
on, you can feel the mosquitoes hitting you.
Last year, we could not use our front door because the
mosquitoes loved the covered entryway. We would be assaulted on
the doorstep and they would fly into the house by the dozens if
we opened the door. Well, NO MORE!! They are all caught at the
woodline before they can get to the house!!!
YOU MAKE AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT!! If everyone in America
purchased just one, we could probably wipe out the mosquito
population in one year. I am considering purchasing one or two
more to provide even more coverage down by the horse paddocks
and am trying to convince my neighbors to purchase Mosquito
Magnets of their own. "

"I am writing to thank you for inventing the Mosquito
Magnet. My husband and I recently purchased a home in South
Florida, which has a pool, hot tub, outside laundry room and is
surrounded by tropical foliage. The mosquito population was
unbelievable. The minute you stepped out side you were bitten.
Imagine having to share the pool and hot tub with these pesky
little things. The only way to entertain was to do so inside and
what's the point of all these amenities if you can't share them
with your friends. I also purchased this product for my dogs as
well. There have been a few cases of the West Nile virus in
domestic animals and I wasn t taking any chances. It has taken
only 3 weeks to almost eliminate the population on our property.
We found ourselves checking the net everyday for the first week,
not knowing we would find such a large amount of dehydrated
pests. I want to thank once again for creating possibly the best
lawn ornament ever."

"We purchased a Pro model on 7-8-02 and had a cookout for
40 friends on 7-14, hardly a mosquito to be found in just 6 days
of operation! We live in Boxford Massachusetts, where the 'town
bird' is joked to be the large mosquitoes that breed in the
swamps and vernal pools in the woods. Our property abuts 135
acres of town forrest so there is ample breeding grounds for
mosquitoes. Before we purchased the Mosquito Magnet our children
couldn't play in the yard with out being swarmed, now we can be
outside anytime and never need to be concerned with mosqutioes.
Thanks for your great invention."

I live next to a swamp in Alaska. When moose walk away from
where they were standing a cloud of swarming mosquitos makes it
look like they left a standing shadow. The Liberty model that we
bought is constantly filled up with mosquitoes and other viper
type bugs. In the past five days, the cloud of mosquitoes that
hang by the door to the house, has gone down to one or two now.
The unit was full and plugged with mosquitos and had to be
vacuumed out daily, tens of thousands of them! I will be buying
another unit come next spring to put on the other side of the
property. "

"After reading about the Mosquito Magnet Pro in multiple
issues of the Frontgate catalog, I was intrigued. I didnt feel
comfortable shelling out more than $1300 to try another catalog
product, however. Then I read an article about the MM products
in one of my financial magazines (Kiplingers, I believe) and
knew I just had to go for it!
We live in the mosquito-filled Midwest on a one-acre lot that
borders a forest preserve. We have an in-ground pool and a yard
that just begs for entertaining. In the 6 years that we have had
the pool, we have NEVER been able to use it much past 6:30 in
the evening because the mosquitoes eat us alive!
We started the Mosquito Magnet Pro a little before the
Memorial Day holidays. A week or so later, we nervously sat on
our pool deck (in swim suits, no less) and waited and waited and
waited. We were all instinctively swatting even though a single
mosquito never appeared. I was sure it was a fluke; this was
impossible! So, we kept at it; night after night waiting. It's
now passed mid July. I still think some massive mosquito swarm
MUST BE coming for us but, (unbelievably) we are swimming and
enjoying our yard late into the night bug free.
I still am amazed at how great this product works. It's one
of the best investments Ive ever made. Thank you all so
much!"

"This is the best piece of equipment anybody’s ever come
out with in the history of Mosquitoes that’s effective. We
tried everything and this is the best. To me the cost of the
propane is minor. I live along the reservoir and we get plenty
of no-see-ums. I haven't been bitten once since I installed my
Liberty on June 16th 2002. We stay out in the yard until 10 or
11 at night. I brag about it to everyone. "

"I was just given the Mosquito Magnet Liberty as a gift. It
was very easy to set up. I checked it the first night and was
amazed to find the large amount of mosquitos which were already
in the bag. After a week the bag was almost full. I have emptied
it into a food storage bag to show all my friends. Your product
works great, and I will always speak very highly of it. "

"In San Antonio the month of July has brought us approx. 25

"The Mosquito Magnet Liberty really works! I have tired
many things to kill mosquitoes, but they still infested out
yard. We did not want to cut down our trees, but we did need to
do something because life outside was painful. My children would
have bites everywhere, I would get bit several times per minute.
I decided to try the Sonic Web because it was 3/5 the price of
the Liberty, and I was hoping it would work. Within two days (48
hours) it had caught 18 mosquitoes, I could kill that many by
hand in 1/2. I opted to return it and get the Liberty. I was
really hoping it was not another gimmick that I would have to
return. I set it up and waited a 1/2 hour. I looked in the net I
could see a few mosquitoes, and I was pleased. The next day I
saw approximately the same number moving around in the net,
thinking I had been ripped off, I lifted up the net to see about
2 inches of nothing but dead mosquitoes laying at the bottom. It
was glorious!!! Two days later there was a noticable decrease in
the number of mosquitoes biting. We do not live in a
high-density mosquito area, but they do make life outside very
unpleasant."
Thanks!

"Hi folks!! Thank-you for one of the best summer's that we
had at our cottage. We are the proud owners of 5 magnets which
we used all summer. One we have at our residence in the city and
the other 4 are at our cottage. We enjoyed many more family time
hours outside in the evening and we firmly believe that it was
due to the mosquito magnets that we placed. We even had a
thank-you from some workers that were doing some landscaping for
us out there and how it was so much more bearable."

"I have three children whose ages are 3, 5, and 7. I
purchased a swing set to keep them occupied in my back yard.
However, after it was set up I found that I was unable to allow
my children to play there due to the excessive amounts of
mosquitoes (we abutt a wooded area). My oldest daughter has a
severe reaction to bites, where it swells considerably. To
salvage my investment, and protect my children, I purchased a
mosquito magnet that I had seen on an in-flight publication.
The unit works great and we couldn't be more satisfied. We
are now in the process of putting on a deck, so we can enjoy the
outdoors. My wife was skeptical, but recently confessed that the
unit is working and she is now a believer. My neighbors also
have commented on the effectiveness.
My other neighbor bought a competitors unit, but after my
conversation with him he is going to bring it back and purchase
your unit.
I thank you and wish you continued success."

"We purchased our Mosquito Magnet on the 4th of July and
emptied a full bag of dead mosquitos on the 7th of July. I knew
we had a bad mosquito infestation but didn't know to what
extent. Already we can tell the difference in our back yard. In
only three days we have gone from swarms of mosquitoes to just a
few here and there."

"After seeing the Mosquito Magnet at work in several of the
Coast Guard Stations, I decided to purchase this machine to help
with the problems I was having at home. I thought 'if it can
work this good in a coastal, low, marshy environment, it will do
wonders at the house'. I am happy to report that it has done
better than I thought possible. We can now sit on the deck
without being attacked and driven back inside. My hats off to
the Mosquito Magnet."

"My wife and I live in South Florida and with the heavy
rains we have been experiencing this year, the mosquito problem
had just gotten totally out of hand. Our back yard is is within
50 yards of two canals and at night the swarms of mosquitos
would just take over our property. Even our poor dog was being
tormented as soon as he went outside. Nothing we tried was
working. We purchased your Liberty model and within a week the
results were just unbelievable. Your product has given us back
our backyard. We will finally be able to enjoy our summer
barbecues without having to run inside to eat.

"In 1998 my wife and I decided to sell our Condominium in
Toronto and move to the country. My wife owns two horses and we
needed a place with lots of room. We found the perfect house
with nine acres of property. Surrounding the house was five
acres of cedar trees. We were very happy in our new home, until
the mosquitoes started to hatch.
We had been living in our new home for almost four years and
every year it was the same thing, mosquitoes by the thousands.
Every year we continued to use the same old methods to fight the
mosquitoes but they just kept coming. I've spent a small fortune
over the years on mosquito coils, bug sprays and even a propane
fogger.
Not only are the sprays and pesticides we where using harmful
to the environment, they were harmful to ourselves and our pets.
The other problem is they stop working after a short period of
time. We needed something more than that for our situation.
The truth of the matter was we couldn't even sit out in our
own backyard. The view of the backyard was from the inside
looking out. The dog, cat and horses didn't even go outside for
long. The mosquitos were literally that bad.
In the spring of 2001 I told my wife, I'm going to find a way
to reclaim our property. This was war, and I was tired of always
being a prisoner in my own house. I started by searching the
internet for some help and found mosquitomagnet.com; on the web
site was a picture of this machine called a Mosquito Magnet. I
started reading all the information on this product and the way
it would attract the female mosquitoes. It sounded great, no
sprays, no chemicals, just propane, and it would work 24 hours a
day seven days a week.
The concept sounded logical, I had made up my mind to
purchase the Mosquito Magnet for myself. When we got it home and
set it up, we didn't know what to expect. I said to my wife
cross your fingers and let's hope this works. After the first 24
hours we went over to check and see what was happening. Looking
through the window we saw a huge mass of mosquitoes, this was
fantastic. We both thought the same thing; it was too good to be
true.
Over the next few weeks I was rotating the nets every 48
hours, the Mosquito Magnet was catching thousands every day. By
mid summer the rotation became less frequent and we could see a
significant drop in the mosquito population, the Mosquito Magnet
was doing its job. The results are fantastic, we spend more time
outside now and we love it, and so do our pets.
Around here happiness is the Mosquito Magnet; to us it was
well worth the investment. It really has worked for our
situation. If you knew what it was like around here, you would
be amazed at the difference.
My wife, all our pets and I say thank you, it's a wonderful
product."

"Last year my wife and I purchased a home in a heavily
wooded area with a great backyard for the kids. Once spring
arrived we quickly began to realize what a terrible mosquito
problem we had. We could not play or barbeque in our backyard
after 6:00 at night because the mosquitoes would become
unbearable. In search of a solution, by chance I happened upon a
page one article in the Boston Globe business section discussing
your company and its products. I could not believe what I was
reading, a product that actually worked in reducing the mosquito
population. Sounding too good to be true I did my research. I
contacted retailers who sold your products and customers who
used your product. They all said it was true. I decided to take
the plunge and purchased your $800 dollar Mosquito Magnet
machine. I am very happy to report that it works better than I
could have imagined. We have reclaimed our backyard and can
enjoy it any time of the day. I know it might sound silly but I
love to go out at night with a flashlight and look at the net
filling up with thousands of mosquitoes. It brings a smile to my
face every time. Well done...thank you for a terrific
product!!"

on by the Asian Tiger mosquito. Now, I sit out in my chair and

"I rarely write to tell a company that their product works
as well as they say it does (imagine the concept!), but I am
totally amazed at the definitive results I've gotten using the
Mosquito Magnet! I was originally somewhat skeptical that you
claimed it would eliminate ALL mosquitoes - I imagined that it
would (hopefully) cut back MOST of the mosquitoes... but your
product works almost 100 percent! Since I've had the magnet I
have only been bitten once and that was just because the propane
tank ran out of fuel that day.
My wife used to tease me that she could sit outside with me
anytime and not worry about being eaten by blood thirsty
mosquitoes because they always seemed to find me and leave her
alone. I told her it was because I was sweeter than her, but I
really hated having to lather up in repellent if I just wanted
to sit on the patio.
Since I have the Mosquito Magnet I can now sit outside
anytime and not worry about being bitten by buzzing, biting
insects or have smelly pesticides coating my body - what
freedom! It's especially nice that it works at a distance, even
when I'm 30 yards away in the gazebo. The concept is so simple
yet so effective that I wanted to tell you how impressed I am.
This is the only product that has worked - everything else is
just smoke and electronic hooey! I don't have to worry about
ever being bothered again. Congratulations on a tremendous break
through product! "
Thanks again.

"I just wanted to communicate my satisfaction with the
Mosquito Magnet. I purchased a Pro unit and set the product up
in my yard back in April of this year. I have to admit I was a
bit skeptical of the effectiveness of the product. Within 2
weeks my skepticism turned to amazement. When I went out to
check the unit in the woods of my back yard, I cound not believe
how may black flies were in the net. We spent the whole month of
May in our back yard without having the aggrevation of all the
bugs. As a matter of fact, the flies in our neighbor's yard
directly adjacent to our yard were pretty bad.
It is now July and the unit is working just as well. I change
the net every three weeks when I change the propane tank and
there are literally thousands of mosquitoes in the net every
time. Thanks for designing such a good product."

"Our neighbor came by the other day and asked,'What are you
doing about the mosquito situation?' I said, "We don't have
a mosquito situation here. We have the Mosquito Magnet."
I'm sold on this product. It really works and that's all anyone
wants. There is a huge market for the Mosquito Magnet in

I'm going to try to get all my neighbors to buy one."

"My boss's friends have two Mosquito Magnets and swear by
them. So we bought one and then another. When we first turned
the Mosquito Magnet on, we weren't sure it would work. They work
fantastic, better than any bug light we ever tried before. We
want one more for us and 4 for other family members.
We are on 4 acres on an island in Lake Muskoka, a popular
tourist area. During season the population grows from 14,000 to
200,000. The mosquito situation is terrible from the middle of
May through September. We wear mesh bug jackets in the spring
with hood, gloves and pants. Now, there's hardly a mosquito
around me. I can walk around in the morning and water my
flowers. I'm only bothered when I go over by the machine to
check on them. We have to empty the bags every 5 or 6 days
because they're so full. I'm interested in becoming a
dealer."

"We purchased a Mosquito Magnet Pro, and we wanted to tell
you how pleased we are with it. Our backyard was uninhabitable,
until now. We live in Northeastern Oregon on 160 acres. Everyone
in this area flood irrigates their pastures. Water comes down a
main canal and then into earthen ditches onto the property.
Needless to say, there is a lot of standing water and tall
grasses - perfect for mosquitos. Vector Control can't even put a
dent in the mosquito population. Everyone complains every year
about the millions of mosquitos. I have since become allegic to
mosquito bites just from being bit so many times. I swell up
something terrible. We put the Mosquito Magnet Pro in our
backyard and have caught thousands. We are bagging them in
ZipLock baggies and marking the dates on the bag to turn over to
Vector Control. They are interested in the types of mosquitos
and will also test for diseases. We are trying to talk Vector
Control into purchasing a lot of the Mosquito Magnet Pro's for
the Hermiston, Oregon area.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful machine.
We can now enjoy our hot tub, patio and barbeque!! We just love
it!!"

"This is the second season with 2 Mosquito Magnet PRO's on
my two-acre lot. I have had people come around here and say,
"it's unbelievable!" At first, I'd have half a bag
full of mosquitoes within a week. Now I'm not even getting 50 a
night. That means I'm getting rid of them! "

"We bought our Mosquito Magnet at the beginning of last
season and tried it out in Amesbury, MA in the world of
mosquitoes right along the Merrimack River. Previously, when it
was hot and humid the mosquitoes could carry you away. Now you
can go out at any time during the day. The only time you ever
see a mosquito is at dusk. My neighbors must love me because
they don't have any mosquitoes either.
Over the winter we brought our Mosquito Magnet to Beaufort,
SC and set it up at a friend's house. The machine wiped the
midges out of his yard. Usually, the midges in Beaufort control
the human population to the point that you can't go outside.

"Hi! I am writing you because we currently own a Mosquito
Magnet Pro, unit and it is catching between 60,000 and 70,000
mosquitoes per night. We have the unit in Pecan Island, LA and
we just can't keep up with the bag filling up. Pecan Island is
about 6 to 7 miles off the Gulf of Mexico and it is made up of a
brakish water marsh. This marsh is the supreme breeding ground
for mosquitoes. We were hoping that your company would be
developing a new unit that has a larger capacity holding bag.
This product is tops in our book, but we just wish that it would
hold more mosquitoes. "
Sincerely Yours,

" I just want you to know what an excellent product you
have. I purchased two Mosquito Magnets last year for my home and
acreage on the Texas Gulf Coast. They are worth every penny and
more. My wife and I have hosted two large outdoor weddings and
several outdoor parties after the purchases of these units. The
mosquitos were well managed.
I was prompted to write this today after checking on both
units (that I run continuously) just a minute ago. The mosquito
bags were filling up, and when the bags fill up, I get a smile
on my face."

"I have four Mosquito Magnet Pro's on my Mustique Island
property in the Northern Grenadines. The machines are working
great. They're catching a lot of mosquitoes. There is so much of
a reduction I was thinking something environmental was going on.
But, other people without Mosquito Magnets are getting bitten. I
can say that I have less mosquitoes and sand flies than ever.
The machines between the house and swamp have the highest catch.
In two weeks the nets on the swamp side of the house are 1/3
full."

"Living where we are, it has been terrible with the
mosquitoes and no-see-ums. We live on a peninsula, and the house
divides the lot. We put one Mosquito Magnet Pro in the front and
one in the back. It works! Even the people who work on our yard
have commented on how unusual it is to get bitten now."

"I read about Mosquito Magnets in Popular Science and got
all excited about it. I ordered two for my home in Florida and
one for my home in Ohio. I set up my two Pro's yesterday and was
thinking, 'why did I order these things? it's probably a rip
-off'! I put them out and didn't expect anything.
I ran out there the next morning thinking I was stupid to put
the Mosquito Magnet boxes out for rubbish since the truck had
already picked-up. I was not expecting to see anything in one
day. But when I looked inside and saw all the mosquitoes, I
couldn't believe it. There were at least 1,000 mosquitoes in the
nets between the two units. Seven days later, the mosquitoes are
up to four inches solid from the bottom of the net, plus the
ones flying and crawling around inside.
A recent hurricane dumped a lot of water here and the
headlines read, 'Mosquitoes Unleashed, Hurricane Gordon Spawning
Worst Outbreak This Year'.
You can use my name as a reference and post my comments on
your web site. I'm happy to tell people how well they
work."

"Your product is absolutely stunning! This is our second
season with the Mosquito Magnet. The whole family fights for a
flashlight at night to go out and check the net. Everyone loves
to see the bugs in prison."
I recall a small event from last year. Dad was allergic to
the bites and ended up first with a dermatologist, and after few
days we went to emergency room. They still couldn't help and dad
had to go back to native Germany where he ended up in a
specialized clinic. It took two weeks for everything to clear
up. Well, this year, same land, same dad, not a single bite.
Now we can use the hammock. Before you couldn't be there for
five minutes. This summer, nobody had a single bite. Our land
was for sale for a low price before the Mosquito Magnet. Now we
can get big bucks! WITHOUT THIS MACHINE, LIFE WOULD NOT BE
POSSIBLE.""

"On Long Island Sound in South Norwalk,Connecticut, nine
Mosquito Magnets installed along the shores of our
"island" community have given us back our evenings to
enjoy outside. We are a small private community of 103 homes and
have marsh on two sides and the Sound on the other two. Tidal
mud flats abound, the breeding grounds for no-see-ums (midges).
You add in both marsh and fresh-water mosquitoes, and you have
major bug biting problems.
"I first became aware of the Magnets through my job with
Golf Digest magazine, and I realized that here was a way to
regain our evenings. I divided the community into acre groupings
because each Mosquito Magnet clears about an acre area. Nine
groups of home-owners shared the expense, and we purchased nine
machines that were activated the third week in June. The bags
began to fill up almost immediately and after over six weeks
of operations, have trapped millions, according to American
Biophysics quantity measurements. We can now eat outside on our
deck and not be driven in. Most of us spend our summers outside,
and since the midge population began to crash, we can now
adventure out without our bodies slathered in bug repellent..
There is no adverse effect on the environment, and it requires
only a small amount of time to change the tank and insert a new
octenol cartridge about every three weeks, no sacrifice at all
to pay for bite-free evenings."

"It's unbelievable we have almost a full net in less
than a week. We have three Mosquito Magnets in place and
they are full of no-see-ums and mosquitoes. I didn't even know
we had a mosquito problem. We live on 5 acres and about 4 of
them are mangroves. Before our Mosquito Magnets you couldn't go
outside between dusk and dawn without being bitten all over by
no-see-ums, or as we referred to them as "flying
teeth". At first we considered putting out all 6 of the
machines we purchased but 3 seem to be working so well,we
decided to share them with our neighbors on our Island. We're so
excited about the immediate results we're having, and are firm
believers that it's just going to keep getting better!"

The following testimonial
is from a mother whose son has been diagnosed as severely
allergic to mosquito bites.
"We have already received our mosquito magnet. And after
using it for 3 weeks, I have to say it is the most wonderful
product created. We saved the first batch of mosquitoes for
Ethan to see. He now can go out and play in our yard without
fear of having hundreds of mosquitoes after him. In just one
week, that entire bag was packed full of mosquitoes . . .
and I mean REALLY full. We've only had one emergency visit for
Ethan since we first hooked up the Mosquito Magnet and that was
when he went to his grandparents home and got one bite. We've
had a lot of members in our Church ask how the Magnet is working
out and have placed a Praise in the church bulletin about the
Mosquito Magnet.
Thank you from the depths of our heart for sending us the
machine so very quickly. Most especially, Ethan thanks you. For
his second birthday he was actually allowed to play outside with
his friends. You can't imagine how much this means to us. With
all sincerity . . . Thank you. And may God bless the lives of
the people who created this wonderful machine and for people
like you who made it possible for us to own one. It is wonderful
taking my son outside to play with his friends instead of having
him watch them play and have fun from his window."
Sincerely,
Ben, Cathy and Ethan Sherwood

"Congratulations on your success. We have a Mosquito Magnet
at our summer home on Nantucket Island and It works wonders.We
tried everything to fight the mosquitos-citronella,
candles,electronic zappers, tiki torches and chemical sprays.
Since we got the Mosquito Magnet we haven't had to use any of
that stuff. My family has been extremely impressed with the
results and the lack of mosquitoes in the area and have
therefore decided to purchase another unit for our home in
Connecticut."

"We are very pleased and are now able to fully use our
backyard. It's been really great. For the first time we can sit
out on the patio and have dinner, something we were not able to
do before. There were mostly gnats in the net. Then the catch
suddenly dropped off. That's when we noticed we did not get
bitten anymore."
Anne Linneman
East Rockaway, NY
"I have an orchard and a 12-acre pond with big gold coast
mosquitoes. They just about kill me. I've had my Mosquito Magnet
in operation for 10 days. I have a good inch in the net. I'm
already sitting on my deck without getting bitten. I walk out on
my lawn without the mosquitoes swarming up in front of me.
Before the Mosquito Magnet they were so thick you would actually
breathe them in. I'm an engineer and the quality and workmanship
of my Mosquito Magnet Pro is very good. It's a beautiful idea
and design. I just love it."
Robert Thackston
Fort Gaines, GA
"I couldn't believe it. We received our Mosquito Magnet
about a month ago (October '99) and caught an estimated 40,000
no-see-ums and mosquitoes during the first 10-15 days of
use (1" deep). As a retired airline pilot and engineer, I
was very impressed with the unit's engineering. The no-see-ums
had previously prevented us from using our screened-in pool, as
my wife has very severe reactions to no-see-um bites. We can now
use the pool, and our neighbors are considering buying the
machines. I jump on certain products, and I believe that
Mosquito Magnets will eventually be in every home that has
biting insect problems. The unit even survived 60 mph winds from
Hurricane Irene."
Bob Kison
Titusville, FL
Update 2002: "Even with all the rain, running two MMs in
my large yard for the past 3 - 4 yrs has reduced the biting
insect problem so much that we have barely collected an inch of
insects between the two units. Talk about reducing the
population... "
"Given the effectiveness of my Mosquito Magnet here in
Massachusetts, I drove home to Florida during the Thanksgiving
Holiday with my new bug trap in tow. During my 16-day stay in
Florida, my little bug eating friend gobbled up thousands of
no-see-ums and hundreds of mosquitoes proving to all my family
and friends that this is not gimic - but the REAL THING.
Thanks again for making my home (and yard) a place to live
and love - bug free."

"After sunset, we'd never dare go out into our
yard or garden, or sit on our deck without spraying
ourselves, friends, pets and the kids with bug
repellent, which I was uncomfortable with. I used to
spray the yard with harmful pesticides, then I tried a
bug zapper, but it didn't catch them and it spread
bacteria all over the place. We never won the battle
until now. The Mosquito Magnet took only six weeks to
wipe out my biting insect problem. We've gotten our yard
back."

"I have to say I'm really impressed with the way your
product works. Last night was the first night we ran it. Even
with the wind and rain it managed to catch approximately 250
mosquitoes, 500 no-see-ums (which I didn't even know we had). I
set the bag up like a bird cage in my office so that everyone
who was skeptical could see what I call the 'New Hampshire State
Bird'."
Gary Ciccone

| "My husband, Gregory, and I love coming up to
Bear Camp Pond to do some fishing on the weekends, but
we always feel like prisoners to our screened-in porch
because the mosquitoes and black flies are so bad. We
hate putting on those repellents knowing that they can't
be good for us. And we love being in the great outdoors.
Now we're spending more time outdoors on the pond
fishing than we ever have. These days when I go fishing
on our dock, the only thing biting is the fish, not the
mosquitoes and black flies. We're back on the pond again
and pretty soon we'll be telling you about the big ones
that didn't get away."

We live on two acres of marshfront near Savannah, Georgia. We
have been using the Mosquito Magnet for several months and are
very pleased with its performance. We are now able to sit
outside at dusk without being attacked by bugs.

According to your calculation of 37,000 mosquitoes per inch of
net, we captured more than 200,000 mosquitoes in the first
six weeks. We live on a very wooded lake ridge, and the
weather has been hot and wet (perfect for breeding). This is the
first summer that we have not been chased inside by the
Minnesota State Bird. After the initial six weeks the number of
mosquitoes captured has dropped off by about 75% telling me that
we have really cleaned out the area.

I have a lake property in Central Minnesota in the Brainerd
Lakes area. Mosquitoes are always a problem in Minnesota,
especially where there are heavy concentrations of water like
the Brainerd Lakes area. This year started out as an
exceptionally bad year for mosquitoes in Minnesota. We had heavy
spring rains that have lasted throughout the summer and the
temperatures have been significantly above average. The heavy
rains and warm temperatures during the spring created the
ultimate hatching environment for millions upon million of
hungry Minnesota mosquitoes!
I declared war on mosquitoes during early June when the
mosquitoes where so bad that my family, especially my 3 and 5
year olds, could not be outside without being literally attacked
back into the cabin. I am currently managing mosquitoes on my
property using two methods: First, I am having a professional
mosquito control company spray every two weeks, and second, I
have purchased a "Mosquito Magnet". I have to tell
you, my family is thrilled with both as the effectiveness has
been incredible.
Even with the bi-monthly spraying, my "Mosquito
Magnet" has collected an amazing volume of the blood
sucking beasts. In total, based on American Biophysics measures,
I estimate that I have collected approximately 100,000
mosquitoes in 4 weeks! This is an incredible collection of
mosquitoes that you have to see to believe. I have gone from
having mosquitoes chase my family back into the cabin to maybe
having one bite per weekend per person! Also, another great
benefit is that we no longer have to apply "bug spray"
to the kids or ourselves."
Steve Rozek
Golden Valley, MN
"The Mosquito Magnet has made a remarkable difference.
After the third weekend, we emptied the net and we had about 3
inches of mosquitoes in there. Now my husband and I are like
children, running out to the trap each morning to see what we
caught."
Kim Fleming
Cypermont Point, LA
"I recently purchased a residential machine through
Frontgate catalogue. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! I live on Avery Island
in coastal southwest Louisiana, and we are plagued with
mosquitoes. Since purchasing your product, I can leave my house
and get in my car without being attacked...thanks for such a
great product. I am recommending them to everybody. "
Nanine d'Aquin

"My wife and I retired to Hilton Head Island two years ago,
and we love having our five grandchildren visit to swim in the
pool and then barbeque on our deck. We were never comfortable
using insecticides and sprays around the grandchildren to
control the mosquitoes and the no-see-ums. Thanks to the
Mosquito Magnet, the kids are swimming in the pool and I'm
grilling all night long."
Don Bennett

"Living in Interlachen, Florida puts my wife, Diane, and I
pretty much at ground zero when it comes to biting insects and
their breeding grounds. We wanted to find a solution that was
environmentally friendly and economically sound. It's great to
work in our 2 acres of yard and gardens and not be eaten
alive."
Mike Wojcek
Interlachen, FL
"My wife and I are retired and live in the heart of the
Adironack mountains at Loon Lake, NY. This is our third year;
the first two years were unbearable in May and June with black
flies and mosquitoes the rest of the summer. Last spring after
purchasing one of your machines, my wife was able to garden with
comfort. We caught thousands of black flies. This has made a big
difference."
Owen Gilmore
Vermontville, NY
"We are very pleased with the unit. After a very anxious
two-week period when there was much activity but not any
detectable results, we were delighted when one day we went out
and they were GONE! They have stayed gone, and we are
delighted!"
Horst Tebbe
Old Greenwich, CT
"We purchased one of your mosquito magnets this spring
after locating it on the Internet. After ordering it, we
received it not a minute too soon. The magnet worked like a
jewel. Prior to using it, going outside, even to dump the trash
was like a nightmare. We have just moved to a new home in
Wyoming and thought we'd have more time to enjoy our favorite
areas but hadn't ever seen a mosquito year like this!
Already we are planning to order several more for the next
year. We need one for the shop, barn area, and the garage!
Thanks again, you saved our spring. The seasons are already too
short in Wyoming to miss out. "

Sondra Ellis
