Comparison of Commercially Available Mosquito Traps versus Average Number of Total Mosquitoes Collected, Raw Data.

* Mosquito Magnet® Line of mosquito traps.
+ Blue Rhino Line of mosquito traps.
† Coleman Line of mosquito traps.

Extensive evidence from independent research studies as well as data testimonials from the USDA, U.S. Army, Navy and Coast Guard, the Centers for Disease Control, numerous universities and state mosquito control agencies, health departments, and independent nationally-renowned entomologists around the world have verified the efficacy of the Mosquito Magnet® product.

• Among the efficacy results published in over 36 scientific journals, the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association stated the Mosquito Magnet® captured "significantly greater numbers of mosquitoes" than other commercially available traps tested.
• The Mosquito Magnet® was rated "top choice" for efficacy and ease-of-use by America's leading consumer testing magazine
• In a mosquito infested mangrove swamp in the Cayman Islands, the Mosquito Magnet® captured 7,161 mosquitoes-nearly 200 times more mosquitoes than Coleman's Mosquito Deleto, which caught 37.
• At the USDA's Wildlife refuge on Atsena Otie Key, Fla., Mosquito Magnet®s were placed along a walking trail, creating an effective "barrier" over more than 20 acres.

Independent research results:

• Comparison of CO2 and Octenol Baited Mosquito Traps at the Shoal water bay training area, Queensland, Australia.
• Cayman Island Report 
• Florida Field Tests
• In August of 2004 eight commercially available mosquito traps were compared using a Latin square test design. The Mosquito Magnet® Liberty and Mosquito Magnet® Liberty Plus, both utilising Octenol as the additional attractant, performed significantly better than all other traps tested. Read the Ft.
