As you might remember, we have been looking to move for quite a while now, and have recently found what, I think, is the perfect home for us. We left the condo life to start a new life in a new single-family home. We love the location, love the neighborhood and even the house distribution, but (there is always a but).
There are things that come along with a ground floor and backyard and if you are thinking bugs, you are absolutely correct.
Mosquitoes are my main concern
Pesky mosquitoes are one if not my main concern, not just because they can transmit a long list of diseases , but also because my son is allergic to their bites. Ever since he was a baby, he has a big allergic reaction to all mosquito bites, something I learned about during his first trip to the Dominican Republic.
I can’t lock him up inside the house forever, can I?
Because I can not keep him from playing in the backyard and enjoying his new open spaces, getting rid of mosquitoes is one of my main concerns and certainly not an easy task…Did I mention we are right next to a pond?
Yes, water bodies are great, but usually means that there are also mosquitoes and other bugs, walking behind him with a bug zapper is not very practical or realistic. I looked for more effective ways to keep him bite-free while he is outside.
No pesticides
I guess a simple solution would be to bombard my yard with pesticides every so often but do I really want my kids playing on something that has poison? I’ll go with no!
This
Mosquito traps?
While doing some research I came across a mosquito trap that seems promising with a nice design, so it would not be an eyesore in my backyard and, more importantly, helps keep the mosquito population at a safe distance from you and your family.
Dynatrap specializes in mosquito and bug traps and offers a great selection to fit your needs. One of the latest additions to the Dynatrap family is the ¼ Acre DT600 LED ATRAKTA Series Insect Trap which comes in three different finishes and features a sleek designed metal insect trap.
The DT600
This cool looking insect trap would make a nice addition to the backyard décor, but better yet, the insect trap utilizes an eco-friendly LED bulb which, by the way, never needs to be replaced, and does not contain mercury.
The bulb should last up to 40,000 hours and attracts traps and kills flying insects like mosquitoes, biting flies, Asian beetles, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, moths, stink bugs, and other pesky insects.
I Love it
I really like the fact that thanks to these mosquito traps, I do not need to add any chemicals to my backyard to get rid of insects and that I have an element that can pass as part of the décor while eliminating the flying bugs!
Win it

Flylight Insect Trap – DT3009 White is something that interests me for inside the house.
The FULL Acre – DT2000XLP Sonata Series Insect Trap. We have a large yard next to the woods and get a lot of insects near us.
I would also love the 1/4 Acre – DT600 LED ATRAKTA™ Series Insect Trap Tungsten
1/2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap – I would prefer to rid a larger area of bugs….keep them away so we can be outside and play. I hate getting bit by no-see-ums and other bugs.
Any of the 1/4 acre traps would be good for us, as that is just the right size for our yard. It’s nice there are different sizes and the plugins too.
I like the /2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap it is awesome to have in the back porch on one of the planters when I go outside so the bugs won’t bother me.
I love their 1/2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap. That unit would sure take care of the bugs! Nope no plans, maybe a day trip or two to break the monotony one car went down so we are running short this year.
I would love to try the Flylight Insect Trap w/ AC & USB Outlets. Every year it seems we end up with fruit flies and those huge nasty house flies. These units look nice and discreet leaving the sticky side against the wall, the yuck factor is hidden. We live in the woods and are outside a lot, so avoiding bugs is a challenge.
I’ll admit I’m pretty interested, but skeptical. We have quite a bit of water and a tad over an acre, but really we’d just need to cover the back patio and the girls’ play house. If it really works, I’d buy that big one in a heartbeat.
I would like to try their Flylight Insect Trap – DT3009 in each room. I live on a horse farm and this would be so helpful. I spend a lot of time outside in the summer so the large yard one would also be a great help to make it more pleasant.
I love the 1/2 ACRE W/POLE DT1260 SONATA SERIES INSECT TRAP, it’s very decorative and it’s large enough to keep my backyard bug free.

Wow, these are pretty and decorative, and take care of the bugs?! We spend a lot of time at our land in NE Iowa, along the Mississippi River, this would be perfect.

The 1/2 Acre w/ Pole – DT1260-DEC Insect Trap Tungsten would be perfect and look so nice! Thanks for the chance!

I like the DT1050-DECCA Mosquito Trap. We are planning on a lot of BBQ’s and pool parties at our house!
lol oooo yes i want to see the day i can take over everything. lol
The Flylight Insect Trap would be great because it seems like every time I open a door a fly comes in. I’m outdoors a lot in the summer, relaxing on the patio or working in my yard.
Oh my goodness, the Flylight Insect trap (for outlets) sounds like an Awesome product. Here in Florida it’s impossible to keep masquitos, flys and other insects out of the house. Have these would be perfect and safe for kids and pets.
This summer while sitting around the bonfire. The Dyntrap DT600 would be perfect for keeping the mosquitoes off us.
The flying insect trap would be awesome. We spend alot of time outdoors with family and friends cooking out and swimming.

I like the 1/2 Acre – DT1050-DEC Insect Trap. I have a pretty big yard but we really can’t enjoy it with all the mosquitoes that come out.
DT3012 Indoor Insect Trap would be great to try indoors also!
My son and his wife have an in ground swimming pool,which would be protected from airborn pests by the UVLED Light Tech.It covers 1/4 acre,so it would cover the whole pool!, This would be a sensible and great gift to them!
DT1050-DEC Insect Trap would fit our family yard size and we went on vacation to texas this year dowtown to see the alamo which was an amazing visit lots of neat things to do. One day hopefully ill go to disney world one day. but summer plans build a deck for our pool and just really relax this summer its way to hot to do anything but swim
I would like to try the Sonata series. Even though I don’t have a 1/2 acre, the mosquitoes love me that much. I think they come from miles just to bite me! I have wanted to try this type of technology for a long time but always thought they would be cost prohibitive. These models are affordable compared to others i have looked at. I need something to combat the FL bugs!
2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap this would be perfect for my garden so no bugs get out there and I can garden outside without problems. I am going camping and to the beach this summer.
any indoor traps. And I like the outdoor trap for full acre. Would need 5..great for down by the lake. Mosquitoes.
I would love to try the Flylight insect traps. We are very rural so I fight the flies and mosquitoes every summer. I love that you still have use of your outlet with these traps.
Oh my goodness We so need one of these for right now we use the little portable types but thats just not good enough! This looks like it would be so very helpful in ridding or at least cutting down on our pest issues!!!
My family spends a lot of time indoors when the weather is just too hot outside. The flies like to come in side too unfortunately. I think the Flylight Insect Trap w/ AC & USB Outlets – DT3039 would be great for inside my home.
FULL Acre – DT2000XLP Sonata Series Insect Trap . We live right next to the woods and the mosquitos are horrible. We barely spend any time outdoors because of it. We also get a ton of wasps by our house which I hate. I need something to kill all these flying menances

I would like to try the FLYLIGHT INSECT TRAP . The flies are driving me crazy.
I also like the Sonata DT150 Indoor Insect Trap. My summer has pretty much consisted of staying indoors as much as possible because of the heat wave and of course the mosqitos as we live in a wooded area. This would be perfect for my back porch.
I could use one of the DynaZap The Amazing, Extendable Racket Zapper. We try to hang out outdoors a lot during the Summer but can’t because of insects.
I would love to try the FULL Acre – DT2000XLP Insect Trap. I am so tired of being attacked just walking out the door by mosquitoes. I need something large like this insect trap to help with the land surrounding my home. Please help!
I was wondering how good the DynaTrap was a catching/killing flies. While checking it out, I see that the DynaTrap doesn’t trap honeybees or dragonflies. That’s great. Bees are important for pollination.
I have not seen one single bee inside my trap:)
I really like the FULL Acre – DT2000XLP Insect Trap especially if it works well for an entire acre. My family does quite a bit outdoors, we are kind of an outside family in the summer. From splitting wood to going to the mountains. I wonder if any of these could work in a portable manner? That would be a huge hit I think.
Most of the family is outdoors a goodly part of the summer, camping, working, etc. I also like the Flylight Inset Trap w/AC outlets for indoor use. With kids going in and out and animals doing the same, there is always the possibility of bugs coming in.
I need the Indoor Insect Trap, because my battle against mosquitoes doesn’t end ever. Actually I would love the outdoor one more. I know people who have tested positive for West Nile Virus, and I would really love to protect my kids!

I ant the Tungsten DT150 Indoor Insect Trap which has an LED light bulb that never needs replacing. My summer plans include visiting my grandkids in Boston again in August. This time to help get my 6 year old grandson to school when the newest baby comes on Labor Day in September.

I would love to try the Flylight Insect Trap w/ AC & USB Outlets – DT3039 White
I live close to the water, so I can’t be outside without sleeves. The mosquitoes seem to find biting me through repellent worth the effort.:/
I don’t know if these will work for me, but If they do, any of the 1 acre ones would be nice.
I would like to try the DynaZap racket zapper. My biggest annoyance during the summer months are wasps that somehow find their way into my apartment.

The 1/2 Acre w/ Pole – DT1260-DEC Insect Trap Tungsten would look great in our backyard. We spend a lot of time outside on our porch in the backyard and we also camp a lot.

Oh how much I can’t stand buzzing mosquitoes is an understatement. I have been told that the huge black ones that we started having after Katrina are the ones that carry west Nile. These traps would be wonderful to have. I would also like the 1/2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap.
I went to google + and there is between 30 – 40 post on the hand blown glass pitcher giveaway. Didn’t know if you wanted that many or not. Just letting you know.

I would like to try the Flylight Insect Trap w/ AC Outlets- DT3019 White. We are going away this summer for a vacation.
I’d love to have the Extendable Insect Zapper. I have a legitimate fear of bugs. Plus, I am one of those people that mosquitoes will bite repeatedly before biting anyone else around me. It is unbearable and it causes me to spend much of the summer in the house.
I would like the Indoor Flylight Insect Trap to put in my kitchen. We have had a problem with insects for a few years. I keep the kitchen and drains as clean as I can and they still persist.
I also like the FULL Acre – DT1775 Insect Trap..We have a big yard with woods behind us and the insects are fierce this looks really awesome! We like to sit outside in the evening near the firepit.

I like the Full Acre Dyna Trap DT2000XLP Sonata Series. My son lives on a farm and the insects are bad.
In the next couple years, I also intend to live there. What we especially need help with are the wasps, the mosquitoes and
the Japanese beetles. I love eating outdoors, but not with bugs present. These sound like wonderful products!
I like the DT3030 INDOOR INSECT TRAP. I am planning a few more barbecues.
I also love the 1/2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap. The look of it is appealing to me. We entertain a lot during the summer. I love having cookouts but sometimes it is miserable because of mosquitos and other biting bugs. I am especially prone to bites! This would be amazing to have.
I love their 1/2 Acre w/Pole – DT1260 Sonata Series Insect Trap
I like the 1/2 acre trap with the pole. I’ve been working with my new pellet grill to cook up some good eats. Last week was Poor Man’s Burnt Ends.
I would like to try the 1/2 Acre DT1100 Insect Trap. My plan for this summer is to replace the railroad tie fence around the front of my house with a brick one.
I like the DT250IN – Indoor Insect Trap. We just got back from a week in the mountains! We went to a state park in Tennessee and swam in a lake there. We had to come back because school starts back on Monday, so that wraps up most of our Summer outdoor plans.
I’d like to try the Flylight Insect Trap. We have a very old home, 100 years plus, and it seems to attract every insect and bug imaginable. I wonder if it works on spiders.
