Dynatrap® Mosquito Trap Review

Dynatrap® by DynaSeal, Inc. - www.dynasealinc.com

Dynatrap®DynaSeal, Inc. introduced the Dynatrap® in May 2006.  The Dynatrap® uses two UV fluorescent bulbs to attract insects where a fan then sucks them into a retaining cage.  Dynatrap® also claim a titanium dioxide coated funnel produces CO2.  However the manufacturer gives no supporting material on how this works or of the quantities of CO2 produced. One professional commentator we saw said that this was a marketing gimmick. Source.

The Dynatrap® is marketed as being safe for indoor and outdoor use and uses no pesticides.  However we question whether its 110 volt power system is safe for outdoors use.   One reviewer comments “the only slightly misleading comment in the description of this item is that it can be used indoors and outside.  If used outdoors it MUST be in a covered area, such as a porch, under house eaves, etc. to keep out rain” Source.  This would indicate to us that the 110 volt power system is known by the manufacturer to be unsafe.  We believe the manufacturer should be making it clear in their advertising that the Dynatrap® must not be used in outdoors where it could get wet.  For our star ratings, Dynatrap® have only managed to earn a one star rating for the safety category due to this safety concern.

Reviewers of the Dynatrap® have mixed opinions with the latest reviews on amazon.com being  more negative than positive.  With the latest reviews being posted in September 2009 and two reviewers making similar comments in relation to the traps catching a lot of moths and not many mosquitoes. Source. On the positive side,  one reviewer titled their review "Mosquito Control at It's best " and goes on to give a positive review "...It keeps my garage and immediate area outside the garage 98% mosquito free" Source.
