    I do not really believe in the effectiveness of such devices.

    1. Tamara

      We have a Chinese trap that catches not only mosquitoes, but also night moths.

  2. Paul

    Bought mother-in-law sititek Sadovy-M. He says that he is satisfied.

  3. Novel

    I’m eyeing these traps. But I repent that fumigators are much more effective.

    1. Natalya

      Fumigators emit an odor of unknown composition, while traps work mainly on UV lamps, which is much safer.

  4. Andrew

    My grandmother from mosquitoes uses lavender essential oil. It will drip in several places and insects do not come nearer. I want to buy a trap only as an addition to this method.

  5. Catherine

    The neighbors got a trap (I don’t know the brand), but something was not thrilled.
