Kill thousands of mosquitoes with the Blue Rhino SkeeterVac. I've been using the SkeeterVac for a few years now and it works great! Kill mosquitoes effortlessly and enjoy your yard again.

Anything that goes Starship Troopers on mosquitos is A-okay in my book.

Nicely done! I was looking at this or the Mosquito Magnet. The mosquito magnet is much more expensive and does have features of auto magically starting and stopping according to the ambient temperature to save on propane. They are also run by rechargeable battery and can also be set to run continuously as well.

I had one of these "early" versions with the catch drawer on the bottom. It caught a massive amount of mosquitos. However, with the drawer on the bottom, the fan would suck the mosquitos through the blades and blow them down into the catch drawer. This would require me to take the whole machine apart and brush the dead bugs off the fan blade with a toothbrush. Still, it was all worth the effort.
Fast forward to now, my old machine finally died and I purchased the new style (3100), this one has the drawer on the top of the machine, "in front of the fan". Clogging up the fan and filling the heating fins with cooked mosquitos must have been a common problem so they resigned the trap?
I find the screen mesh in the catch drawer is so small it lugs down the fan. I can see the mosquitos going into the drawer but I am thinking there is not enough airflow to hold the majority of them in.
Today, after two failed seasons, I made one change. I cut out the old screen in the drawer and replaced it with a regular window screen, I used a hot glue gun to keep it in place. I am hoping this will increase the catch rate. I have the location in a sweet spot and the machine is surrounded by hovering mosquitos, before, after three weeks, it hardly filled up the bottom of the drawer.
I am hoping my drawer mod will make the difference. I will post an update in a few weeks...
