Mosquito Magnet Liberty by American Biophysics

Pros: mosquito killing. They are going to be endangered.
Cons: I didnt get one till now.

Ok I'm the biggest pessimist in the world. I bought this knowing it wouldn't work. I started it up the day I got it in mid-NOVEMBER and ran it for nearly 45 minutes. NOT ONE BUG! I was sure it wouldn't work. Last night I thought I'd give it one more ...

Pros: Works as described. Reliable. Longish power cord makes positioning easy.
Cons: Manual says remove propane tank before rolling unit (dumb!) Emits a slight odor. Pricey.

I researched this item here on Epinions.com and through many other forums before making my decision. My 1 acre property backs up to DEC controlled wetlands, and my mosquito problem was truly Biblical. I decided to take advantage of Home Depot's liberal ...

Pros: Greatly reduces biting pests.
Cons: A little pricey to buy and maintain...but worth it.

My experience thus far has been great. The company has been responsive to my needs and even sent me a free part...I lost the attractant carrier during winter storage and they sent a replacement at no cost! I have the Liberty model and have tried the ...

Pros: Cordless Freedom and Range of the Liberty model, Works well if used correctly
Cons: Expensive to maintain, but we already knew that didn't we

I hate to hear that there are so many people on this site that have had negative experiences with their mosquito magnets. This is partially why I waited over a year and a half to write this. I kept waiting for something bad to happen. However, I'm mid ...

Pros: Effective at catching mosquitos and no-see-ems.
Cons: High monthly operating cost: Octanol($7), propane($9), quick-clear cartridges($3). Reliability due to complex design.

This is my second season using the Mosquito Magnet Liberty here on the marshes of the North Florida Gulf coast where mosquitoes and no-see-ems will eat you alive, especially in the mornings and evenings, but the Liberty eats them up by the thousands. ...

Pros: Attracting and trapping capabilities
Cons: Power cord, cost to run, effective range

I've been happy with the Liberty model I bought in April 2004, but waited until the second year of use before writing a review. I saw that many people had problems starting theirs after being in off season storage, but mine started right up without a ...

Pros: Catches mosquitoes like crazy! Doesn't use pesticides/chemicals. I would recommend it.
Cons: Requires maintenance every few years. Take care of it if you want it to last.

My wife and I bought our Mosquito Magnet in August of 2007. Since having kids we have really tried to stay away from the chemical and pesticide approaches to pest control. This unit worked amazing for us up until this season. Called the manufacturer (who ...

Pros: Catches lots of mosquitos, black flies and no-see-ums.
Reclaims your yard in 1-2 seasons.
Cons: $500 to buy + $60-$100 per year to operate / maintain.
Reliability can be variable.

We bought one of the original Mosquito Magnet Liberty models for $500 in May of 2002 after hearing rave reviews from co-workers who were pulling "bricks" of mosquitos out of the net bags in their MMs.  We had a wetland behind our house, and we ...

Pros: Works great in catching mosquitoes
Cons: Quirky from season to season, replacements often necessary

How to fix your Mosquito Magnet, the last instructions you may ever need. Personally I think this unit really works well on catching mosquitoes, that is when it does work. The problem is that it is not that reliable from season to season and from what ...

Pros: Not as much as a waste of money compared to other models.
Cons: Be prepared to spend a lot on accessories.

I have had almost every model of Mosquito Magnet. The first one I bought was the Freedom Model and I returned it because it caught almost nothing- although it attracted the mosquitoes, it did not have enough vacuum power to catch them. Then I bought ...

Pros: The people at UPS are very nice
Cons: Two non-working units, useless tech support, dishonest, lying supervisors/managers.

We purchased a Mosquito Magnet Liberty Plus from Front Gate on May 16, 2005. (This is actually our second MM. After promises of improved technology we bought this to replace the old one that worked pretty good the first year, so-so the second year and ...

Pros: Despite my complaints, I hate being without the thing. It works.
Cons: Costly to run, needs almost annual repair at a certified repair shop.

Several years ago, we bought our Liberty Mosquito Magnet. We live in the New Hampshire woods and there is always standing water somewhere. The black fly and mosquito population are so bad that you have to keep your mouth closed or you breathe them ...

Pros: Great when they work.
Cons: Unreliable, expensive to maintain, nonexistent customer service

Like so many of the reviewers, our experience with the MM's has gone from great to good to fair to poor to horrible! We bought one of the original models years ago, with the ignition button and the flow valve you have to push and hold down for 2-3 ...

Pros: Did significantly reduce the amount of mosquitoes when it was working
Cons: Only worked for 6 months.

This product worked flawlessly the first season. I had it set up in the wilderness of Alaska where the mosquitoes are unbelievably thick. Didn't completely eliminate them, but made a significant difference in the amount we had. The purchase price was ...

Pros: Catches mosquitos if placed in an optimal, shaded, low wind area.
Cons: Start-up, maintenance, many "flame-outs," and expensive.

My wife bought one of the first units when they were sold by FrontGate.   It must have been in 2000 or 2001.  I went through the exact experience as samasalabamas did in his review.  Same ...
