CEP 30 | Mosquito Midge Weatherproof UV Electric Fan Trap Catcher Killer | Black

Absolutely brilliant! Works a treat. You need to read the manual otherwise you end up like some of the negative comments here because it works by ATTRACTING midges and mosquitos to them trap them. So you position it AWAY from where you are. Also, note that it works by interrupting breeding cycles so it TAKES TIME. It's not something that immediately works. You're removing a population of midges and stopping the breeding cycle. Use it correctly and it's amazing.

The manual is very basic. However I followed the instructions but the fan does not work. I finally found an on button and it is now working

So I bought this product with my eyes fully open. I am aware that the method it uses takes some time to really take effect as it kills of the female critters and therefore disrupts the breeding cycle, however I have not yet seen any major impact after 4 weeks of use. I made a point of only switching the device off once a week to empty the catcher (running 24/7 rain or shine) and can't say that there was ever more than a tablespoons worth of creatures inside. As mentioned in other reviews, the majority of insects caught seem to be larger moths, etc... and not the horrible blooding sucking BBQ spoilers intended. I may be expecting too much from the device as I have a large garden with a lot of trees and hedges that make perfect breeding areas, but I would have expected at least a full catcher... On a plus side, the email support is top notch and I received a response very quickly. It's worth mentioning that my support query was about the bait as the manual has not been updated to reflect a new design change. There is no messing about with needles any more, just peel the foil off the bait and insert as normal.

I was very skeptical when ordering this..... but how wrong could I have been. The warm and wet weather caused a massive problem for us in our new home as we are surrounded by fields and we have huge swarms of mosquito's plaguing us. When I opened the door to let the dogs in we immediately had around 100 of them in the hallway. I bought this unit only a week ago and positioned it away from the house at the back of the garage (which is a damp and dark place) and set it up about 12 inches off the ground. Within 2 days the trap was full. I have never seen so many mosquitoes. Again 2 days later, it was full. I recently moved the trap to another position which also seemed to have a lot of mosquitoes in the area. It is like mosquito massacre. Overnight the trap was half full. Already we have noticed a huge reduction in the numbers getting in to the house and also clinging to the windows when the lights are on. This with the added measure of clearing away any breeding grounds (Pools of standing water e.g. water butts, blocked gutters etc.) is certainly making a big difference. Probably one of the best £55 I have spent.

This has been in the Garden for over a month and it has not caught a single mosquito... It is however an excellent moth killer. Follow the link on the packaging to get advice and more details and it seems connected essentials sells all sorts of stuff, but not a mention of the mossie trap anywhere on their site. I guess that says it all. Avoid, the mosses certainly do!

Used this successfully last year and the year before.Was impressed by the amount of midges it caught. We have a very large garden (1 acre), and I was so pleased I have just bought another one. It needs to be left to run continuously, and the ocetenol cartridges are a must. It will not eliminate the midge problem completely (they blow in from the surrounding fields), but it certainly reduces the population. Another method I use is a 400w security/work light left on all night for a week or two to cover a large area around our pond. The midges hit the hot glass and are "zapped". The best time of year to do this is just after the first hatch - where we are the first week in June sees the most killed. We can pick therm up in hand-fulls some mornings!

There is no doubt this attracts the mozzy's in Spain but the problem is they avoid the machine and still come for us. We have caught a few but are still getting bitten. I have tried the machine further away from us but still the same. It's as if the machine attracts them to the area then they home in on us.

was a bit sceptical about this actually working and keeping the midges at bay but I must admit it does although my garden is not nudge free i have been able to sit out till late at night without being bit only thing I would say is although it has a great long cord if it was battery operated i could leave it out longer to really deal with the midges

Je n'ai pas encore utilisé ce piège, il conforme à la description mais il y a deux points négatifs, le premier c'est que la notice est en anglais et le second c'est que la prise électrique n'est pas au normes et format de chez nous. J'ai été obligé d' acheter un adaptateur pour que cela fonctionne bien.
