From mosquito devices that run on propane all the way to those that operate with surges of electricity, the development of devices for mosquito control remains a competitive industry. The most popular mosquito killing machines are mosquito vacs, mosquito zappers, and mosquito magnets. Based on the need and the severity of of the mosquito problem some mosquito killing devices are preferred over others.
Most customers find satisfaction from using mosquito vacs. Mosquito vacs (vacuums) are more expensive than other methods of insect control, but they get the job done. Many customers enjoy the fact that mosquito vacs catch a considerable amount of insects and last year-round; unlike their counterpart the mosquito magnet. On the bright side mosquito magnets have been praised for their ability to catch a boat load of insects. On the unfortunately dark and gloomy side they have been given low marks due to their short life expectancy. Not in all cases, but in many, people say that mosquito magnets work amazingly well for about a year then they abruptly shutdown. In terms of high ratings bug zappers fall smack dab in the middle. Based on customer satisfaction the bug zapper comes in second.
The safest and most effective method is the mosquito vac. A recent uproar about bug zappers claims that zapping a disease carrying mosquito could worsen the problem, by dispersing thousands of disease causing microbes into the ecosystem. Mosquito vacs on the other hand avoid the potential for this problem by catching the little critters in a concealed location and dehydrating them. The hottest mosquito vac on the market is the skeeter vac, which has been given 5 stars by its customers. The Flowtron company trying to stay on top of everything, has developed a propane free mosquito vac. While the mosquito magnet itself may be safer than the bug zapper, its capabilities do not stick around long enough to put the bug zapper out of business. Bug zappers are continuously being redesigned in terms of safety. The best one in this regard is the Flowtron Bug Zapper for outdoors. Customers have found favor with the Stinger Insect Trap for indoors.
So there you have it. First to cross the finish line is the mosquito vac. Bug zappers take the silver. And bronze goes to the mosquito magnet.
