Flowtron® Mosquito Trap Review
Flowtron® by Armatron International, Inc. - www.Flowtron.com
MT-350 Flowtron®
Armatron International, Inc. market the following traps:
- MT-350 Flowtron® Plus PowerTrap Mosquito Trap which was apparently extensively redesigned in 2007.
- MT-275 Mosquito PowerTrap
- MT-125 Mosquito PowerTrap
- PV-440 Flowtron® Galaxie PowerVac
Both the MT-350 and MT-275 can be operated either continuously (24/7) or on one of three pre-set operating modes and use CO2, heat and moisture (generated by propane combustion) and LED lights. The MT-350 is only Flowtron® trap that has LED motion lighting to create movement. The MT-125 doesn't have the same timed on/off settings as the MT-350 and MT-275. Flowtron® claim a new ignition system in the MT-350 and MT-275 which eliminates the clogging problems encountered by other propane traps.
The PV-440 Flowtron® Galaxie PowerVac uses an Ultraviolet Blacklight-Blue Bulb along with LED lights and Octenol lures to create the sensory signals of heat, light, scent, color, shape and motion to attract mosquitoes.
All Flowtron® traps include one Octenol cartridge which the manufacturer suggests should be replaced after approximately three weeks.
Flowtron® traps incorporate a fan that sucks the insects into a removable catch tray where they dehydrate and die.
When reading reviews for Flowtron® traps, a common theme again develops with problems over traps failing to work after one season, propane clogging issues, bad design and even poor customer service. It is important to note that many reviews are for the older models but it also appears that owners of the current MT-275 and MT-350 are still experiencing similar problems to the owners of the older models. However, the PV-440 Flowtron® Galaxie PowerVac does have three five star reviews on amazon.com with one reviewer saying that he had a Mosquito Magnet® and then purchased the Galaxie and comments "I took a chance on this Galaxie product and I am glad I did its capturing everything in the year." Another reviewer says "Works so far". Source.
