Summary: Save your money buy a fly swat, it'll work better
Comment: I had this thing (the skeeter vac model CPSV3100 for 1 acre), $315.00 I plunked down for it and the tac-traps(which by the way caught a lot a bugs, just none of them were mosquitos). I put it in a spot in my back yard where I got bit the most often and sat right beside it with mosquitos eating me alive. I left the piece of junk in that very spot for a week and it caught 3 mosquitos, hardly worth the effort. Just while I was dismantling it alone I got bit more times than I can count, so believe me mosquitos were there in abundance. My advice is to buy some more citronela candles, they work better. I don't know how they get good reviews for this, they must be hiring them, if it don't catch mosquitos by accident in my back yard it is a peice of junk in my opinion. I sent it back to Amazon the next day.

Summary: Have been through two systems in 3 years - don't recommend
Comment: I live in Atlanta and had very high hopes in these units. First, for the price and features it's a much better deal vs. Mosquito Magnet. I couldn't imagine having to run a cord through the yard, having to mow around it with the mosquito magnet.
Thus, I tried the Skeetervac. Long story short, I received a replacement unit after first time of use two summers ago. They never told me what they thought was wrong with it, and after 2-3 times back/forth with customer care, they shipped me a replacement unit (no questions asked).
Last summer, I didn't use it - didn't need it as mosquitos were low. I kept the unit in storage room in our basement.
Now, I'm into this summer and need to run the new unit they shipped me. It won't start just like the older unit they replaced. The battery has been replaced, and it's clicking creating an ignition, but no "pop" to light the propane that is flowing into it.
There's a fundamental design flaw/issue in these units, and I'm waiting for SkeeterVac to acknowledge this. It's either that or a major liability waiting to happen when the unit explodes after someone holds down the ignition for 20 minutes (instead of 20 sec like they tell you).
I'm an honest user trying to get what I hoped would be a good product - unfortunately, I'm now going to try to get my second replacement from Skeetervac.
I do not recommend, and am sorry to write this review. My intent is to try pesticides/spray to control until I'm successful in a replacement unit.
P.S. The unit I had was a 2704.

Summary: pretty good
Comment: I was a little worried from the reviews listed, however I must say, so far, sooo goood. It is attracting I am assuming adult female mosquitos. The light is still working. All is good! I would buy from this seller again.

Summary: Died after one year
Comment: I bought this model last year and it worked great. This year it would not start. The good thing is Blue Rhino honored the warrantee even though it expired a couple of weeks before that. They said that this model SV-27 had a flaw in the design of the combustion chamber which made it more likely to fail. They said the newer models (like SV3000 and SV5000) have a better design. They did send me a replacement engine (basically the entire top) which is one of the newer models. I am pleased with the support I got from them but if I was buying a new one I would not get a SV27. I would look for one of the new models.

Summary: Do the research, then buy this one
Comment: In my old age, I feel the cynacism creeping in, so I find it necessary these days to do extensive research on items like this. After a lot of looking and reading, I decided on the SkeeterVac 1 acre. Living in Albany Ga, we had to go with the LUREX attractant instead of the Octanol. My only caution when doing this (in my five months experience of ownership), is to be prepared to empty the trap alot. I had the unit close to the house, and caught about 25 the first 24 hours period, the catch then thinned out to about 10 in the same period. I moved the unit down to the bottom of the yard near the fence, and the unit really proved it's usefullness. I just walked in the house this morning to write this review after my fourth day in a row of 100 plus mosquitos in a 24 hour period. Tac Trap sleeve that goes around the top is also a very effective tool as well. Came out one day, and there was around 200 flies stuck to the thing, better that than inside my house I figure.
Sit down with a calculator and your last Orkin bill, and see if this unit won't pay for itself within a few seasons use.
Propane will last around two months set at a conservative but effective setting, clean up is easy, haven't had trouble with the unit at all.
