Mosquitoe Deleto

BarnBum · 05-27-2008, 08:57 PM

"Tis summer here in Fla.........Anyone have a mosquitoe deleto (or equivalent ? ) Did you like it ? There are many brands out there and was wondering which one worked best for approx 1 acre area (barn). How long does the propane tank last ( I only plan on putting it on at night from dinner time to breakfast = 12 hrs approx).

Any info is nice. The only place I have found some (on line) is Home Dept. TSC and Bass Pro didn't have any (on line search).

The Coleman Mosquitto Deleto was found to be functionally unsafe - it's regulator and propane hose tended to develope leaks. Several units melted themselves or caught fire. 135,000 of them were recalled and they were discontinued. There are several traps that use similar technology to kill mosquittos still available.

Oh, yeah, they do work. Bats are more efficient, though.
