Monday, July 9, 2007 Dear Mark, We live on one of your typical 1/3rd acre home lots, albeit at the edge of the development next to the woods, where a river runs through it, as they say. Our Liberty Plus is actin’ up, not wanting to fire up after it’s monthly propane tank changeover. These machines are notoriously finicky, and from what I read don’t last much longer than a couple of years or so before the garbage man takes possession. I have been researching stuff all weekend about mosquito traps, and just came across your product. I can handle box fans and extension cords, so I’m all in! Just not sure how many bags to order.

Before finding your site, I was considering a mosquito net that covered the whole yard. I purchased three and will get back to you on my results. Robert Horn |

I gave the second Skeeterbag to our contractor, Joe Walsh, who has a bigger mosquito problem than we do. He says it's the simplest and best idea he's ever heard! He had a box fan lying around unused, of course (who doesn't?). I've lost count of the corpses. Cheers, E |

Title: Works like a champ Sunday, June 3, 2007 Hi Mark, You sent me a couple Skeeterbags for free last year out of the goodness of your heart -- I just hooked one up for the first time yesterday evening. I put it facing out by the sliding door on the deck so the "human smell" would get sucked out of the house and spewed around. The fan is about 10" from the screen. Holy crap!! This morning I counted at least 30 of the little buggers in the bag (plus a nice assortment of lacewings, mayflies, and moths), and we weren't even outside on the deck as bait. That's 29 more mosquitoes than we caught all last year with a $250 Lowe's propane trap, not to mention a tank of propane, three refills on the attractant, and two refills on the flypaper (why I bothered to change the flypaper I don't know, there wasn't much stuck to it anyway). You should've seen the grin on my face this morning. I have a few questions: 1) We need to pick up a couple box fans that don't rattle and groan like this one that I pulled out of the attic (it's 20 years old) -- any suggestions on a quiet model? Do you use an "outdoor" model for rain survivability? Or should we just cheap out and get whatever? 2) Do you run your fans on "high" or just on "low"? My old clunker seems to work OK on the "low" setting (which is tons quieter, it's unacceptably noisy on high), but I suppose common sense would suggest that it ought to work better on "high". 3) Should I have put the fan at right angles to the screen, rather than facing out? Any feeling as to which orientation works better? 4) On your new model of catcher (the old-lady-thigh-highs model), does the elastic really hold it on the fan body? How does it not slip off? Cheers, Eric |

The hubby and I want to start a natural feeding system for trout and will put the mosquitos to good use. I sincerely hope you are able to makes lots of $ or at least get a Noble Prize or something...

| Source: email. Title: Skeeterbags work! Sun, 5/24/09 I usually have incredible problems with mosquitoes and have always had to use repellent, citronella candles and mosquito coils to eat out on our deck here in a densely wooded lot in Atlanta. We still got bitten! This year, despite our monsoon season, I have used a "Skeeterbag" with a $14.95 fan and have yet to have a mosquito bite. I leave the fan on low on the deck all the time and it nabs the gnats and the mosquitoes. A quick hose-off cleans out the desiccated bugs and we're ready to go again. Thanks for a great product, David Baker |
