Andrew, we have used both the "Mosquito Magnet" & "Mosquito Deleto" in our last house, on an acre, in one of the countries highest summer count areas (west suburbs of Chicago (counts routinely of over 100 a night in a light trap, and on spike nights 600+).
Both worked well at attracking the buggers, both ran just under a month on a propane tank, but the "Deleto" had sticky pads that would fill up with mosquitos in one or two high count nights, then you had to replace the sticky pads with the buggers buzzing around. The "Magnet" had a trap that you could empty when full, saving usage costs. Both worked best with a repelling device placed near where you spend time outdoors.
Have not needed it here, as there are not too many mosquitos by us (yet??).
Aloha, Carey
