"I have had two mosquito magnets in the past 5 years. They have a pretty high monthly operating rate and they are a pain to keep in service. For the past 2 years I've been looking for something that was cheaper to run per month and something that I could fix myself if there was a problem. Based on the reviews and research I found I decided to TRY the Ultra. I was just hoping this thing was half as good as advertised. The mosquito magnet left me with seriously low expectations.
I put the Ultra within about 20 yards of the mosquito magnet. I was going to have them duel it out. When I checked the Ultra after the first night I was simply shocked. It caught more mosquitoes, midges, and bugs than my magnet has caught all month. It has an insanely HIGH catch rate. I'm absolutely shocked because the Ultra is just simply destroying the magnet.
Anyway, the magnet is out of propane now and it's headed for eBay. The Ultra is officially the King-of-the-Hill in my yard. :)
Thanks for making such a wonderful product."

"I live in Ontario in the country and have two Mega Catch Premier Systems. I have had a variety of mosquito traps etc and find your product yields the best catch by far, with little or no maintenance.. Thank you ...

"I just wanted to say how impressed I am with my Mega Catch Premier. I have had it for just two days and already it has caught more squiters than the Lentek unit I have used for the past month. I needed a new unit as the Lentek quit working after just one season, (so much for quality), I'm thus far sold on Mega Catch units and will be promoting them for you. I am looking forward to a much less "itchy" summer now. Thanks for such an awesome product!"

"I want to take a moment to say thanks for the Premier Mega-Catch. This area of Massachusetts has an abundance of wetlands and mosquitos. When we moved here about 15 years ago I had to wear a head net to protect myself when mowing the lawns. I had a neighbor with a net body suit. It was terrible. I tried spraying the area with a garlic spray - which was not very effective but sure made the area smell good. I guess I was too lazy to get a mosquito magnet because I did not want to refill the propane tank every three weeks. We could not go out to our bird feeders without applying Deep Woods Off. It is all different now. About four year ago I bought the Premier after reading the testimonials and reviewing your test results. I also purchased one for my son who live a short distance from here. We are very pleased with the units.
My property is a little over an acre in size with a large part of it being wetlands. When I set up the Premier in my back yard, my next door neighbor said that if it worked he would buy one. Well after about three weeks of using the Premier I asked him if he was ready to buy one and his response was "I don't have to now". My first two days of operation I had captured over 3000 mosquitos.

"I bought the megacatch premier about three weeks ago and had it out in my yard for about two weeks. I checked the water trap for the first time last weekend. There were over a hundred in my estimation. There were so many dead mosquitos in there they were rotting in a thick soup that stunk to high haven. Gross! I gave them an uncerimonous burial on top of the compost heap. I'm not sorry to see them go either. The product worked well for me so far and I haven't even used the octenol lure. Thanks a bunch."

"I cannot emphasize how well the Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap works. My town (although Urban in its location) is surrounded buy active brooks and streams with heavy foliage. There is a significant Mosquito problem especially in the early evenings to the point where some people (including myself) could not stay in their backyards after dusk. After I purchased the Mega-Catch the mosquito problem in my backyard vanished. I am now able to enjoy evening barbeques with friends. The Mega-Catch worked so well that I approached my neighbor who had complained about a similar mosquito problem to encourage him to also purchase your product. He thanked me and explained that his mosquito problem “magically vanished” and he wondered how this had happened. It appears that my Mega-Catch had solved both our mosquito problems at the same time. Thank you again for this outstanding product and your excellent customer support."

"WOW! We ordered and received our Premier about one month ago. Here in Semmes, Alabama the mosquitos get big and vicious. We were excited to try your trap. We noticed immediate results after the first few days. Emptying hundreds of the nasty biters every 3-4 days! Three weeks later we were eating grilled burgers by the pool in our 1 acre back yard. The yard is surrounded by thick woods. The mosquitos are rare and the gnats and horseflies are nowhere to be found. Thanks for giving us our yard back!"

"Living in South Florida, in a rather lush townhouse community, mosquitoes had been an issue seemingly every day, all year long! Having done our research, we decided to give the Mega-Catch™ Alpha Mosquito Trap (MCA-600) a shot, as we only had to worry about 600 sq. feet of fenced in patio. This unit worked like a champ, 24/ 7, and essentially kept our immediate area mosquito free. We used the Octenol strips during the absolute worst of the season, but realized that the device would work just as well without the lure. We are now considering a Mega-Catch™ Premier Mosquito Trap (MCP-800) to replace our current trap, based entirely on its performance for the past two years. The fact that it (Premier) can be programmed for specific on/ off times, and offers more coverage in addition to all of the accessories offered, its definitely worth a look as well! It can’t hurt to have more than one… MegaCatch works for us!"
William and Lisa Lopez
South Florida, USA
"We purchased the Premier model last year, about mid-season. While we did see some improvement, we still had a problem. This year, I started the trap up early, using the water catch and Octenol and it has been wonderful! Starting early and using the wet catch is key for our area. We have virtually eliminated all mosquitos in our back yard and we can swim in the pool without having to duck daredevil mosquitos. People aren’t attacked by a swarm of them when they come to our front door either. THANK YOU!"
James Covey

"I Have had 3 of the Mega-Catch Ultra bug catchers for about 4 years now. Other people I know with expensive brands of mosquito traps tell me that most are much too expensive to maintain. Most people do not keep their own devices very clean and of course that adds to their problems. Besides mosquitoes, large enough to dress for luch, we have 2 flies that bite like crazy. One called a deer fly and a black fly that looks like a common house fly until it bites you. Using the pan [catch container] with a mixture of water, Coke Cola, dish soap and a touch of cane sugar, attracts all of these annoying insects quite well. Adding the lure bait [Octenol Fragrance Strip] and CO2 makes it one of the best I have ever seen."

Norm Langer

"We know the trap was working well,when we first got it..earlier this summer we had the hottest days on record..the bugs were horrible you couldn't even got out side after 4pm or you'd get eaten alive. In alberta this year has been the worst for west nile also. After we put up the trap.we were able to enjoy the outdoors,&invite the neighbours over to sit outside in the evening.All the kids got to play in the kiddy pool and sand box till all hours. We live in the country,on a small farm.Bugs are a bigger issue for us,as we also have our animals to be concerned for ..west nile can make horses very ill, some even die. our neighbours all thought the trap was AWSOME! a few neighbours told me they went looking for one but the store was sold out."

"I am pleased to report that the unit is still catching a large number of mosquitos and it is a good thing because we are getting damp weather now and it seems like there is a fresh hatch every week now. Thanks again and all the best from Canada."

"Prior to purchasing Mega Catch, most of the summer was spent indoors do to an allergy to mosquito bites (the bites would cause a Huge welt on my skin) . It was awful to go outdoors and endure the mosquito bites, or spray on quantities of bug repellent. A friend suggested Mega Catch. Since owning Mega Catch, we are able to spend all summer on the patio, enjoying the beautiful weather bug free. The mega catch has no odor, no noise and is so convenient to use. Most of all it catches loads of mosquitoes!"
Betsy Conway
Omaha, NE, USA
"Since I started using the Mega Catch Ultra several years ago, the mosquito population in my yard is significantly reduced. In addition to being more effective than propane, the CO2 is much safer, convenient and cost-effective. I only need to change the CO2 tank once per season, as opposed to changing a propane tank every 3 or 4 weeks. The programmable timer allows me to have the Mega Catch Ultra come on automatically when it is most effective - in the early morning and evening hours, resulting in much more efficient use of electricity and CO2. Then there is their world-class customer support. Bottom line - the Mega Catch Ultra is, quite simply, the best mosquito trap on the market today."
Jim Brammer

"I just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the quality of service you have given us with setting us up with replacement parts for our Megacatch Premier. We have never had such help with any kind of follow-up in our many years of buying appliances, etc. I assure you that this type of service does not go unnoticed, and we will be letting people know that your company really does care about the best interests of the customer."
Brian Warren

"I live on 2 acres of heavily wooded land and during the mosquito season it is normally extremely unpleasant to try and work outside due to the abundance of mosquitos. I visited a friend who lived in similar surroundings and saw that he had the MegaCatch Ultra set up along a creek that ran through his property. He showed me the unit and explained how it worked and upon removing the wet container I was amazed at the number of dead mosquitos inside. I was there in the late afternoon and found there to be few mosquitos in the yard.
I was impressed and after visiting the MegaCatch website, set about locating a MegaCatch trap[purchased a PREMIER trap]. I set the Premier up the next day in very short order as I had read the manual when I got home. Initially, I set the unit up near the vegetable garden and let it run for 2 consecutive days. I then programmed the unit to run for 4 hours in the morning and 5 hours in the evening. Within a couple of days I could work in the garden without being bothered by mosquitos. After 5 days I decided to change the water in the container and see just how many bugs I had trapped. I was surprised to see that there was almost 1/2 inch of dead mosquitos suspended in the fluid near the bottom and only a few moths on top.
I next decided to move the MegaCatch to the front yard near the drainage ditch. It has been there for 2 days now and I took a quick peak at the catch so far and it looks like it will exceed the catch in the back yard.
It seems that the MegaCatch Premier performs as advertised and if it continues to operate this well, I anticipate purchasing a second unit in order to trap mosquitos in both the front and back yards. I am a satisfied customer who has taken back his property from the invading of mosquitos."

"This will be our third full season using the "Ultra" and I can not begin to tell you what a difference it makes. My wife and I own a historical home in Brooksville, Florida, surrounded by 100 year old oak and camphor trees, in other words, a mosquito haven. Our house has wrap around porches that beg you to come and enjoy beautiful spring and summer evenings and without our "Ultra", we would be fooling around all summer long with those silly products that don't work on a Florida Mosquito. A neighbor has a Mosquito Magnet and is usually curious to see what I have in the basket of the "Ultra" when he is down for a visit. He always seems astonished at the collection of dead mosquitos I have compared to what his Magnet produces. I had to get a new bottle of CO2 this year (first refill), a supply of Octenol and, of course, the control box.I pretty much neglect the "Ultra" except to empty the basket and refresh the Octenol.(No doubt this is why I had to get a new control box!) Otherwise, it stays on all the time, rain or shine, from Spring to the end of Summer. I have attached a picture of our home that you have helped us enjoy.Thanks again for the quality product and your outstanding service."
Jim Martin

"I wanted to let you know I got the parts (timer & seal) for my megacatch & was able to replace them & restart the trap easily. Your service coupled with the ease of getting the unit working again has me very impressed and I will certainly recommend the megacatch over the mosquito magnet which is a difficult fix when it malfunctions let alone the monthly maintenance on it."

"I live in a wooded area and our outdoors become almost unusable from the mosquitoes. The megacatch has been a godsend."

"We are located in the Caribbean. Our business is internet marketing and video productions which is how I came across your product. We were filming a sunset at a high-end villa for one of our video/virtual tour productions and thanks to your trap, our crew was spared from mosquitos that attract in great numbers around dusk and dawn. It's the first time I've seen or heard about your product here in the Caribbean."

"I have had your Ultra unit for 3 years now. When I first purchased it there were some issues that were quickly resolved by a personal phone call to ME from your company. No company I've contacted EVER did that! I have not had ONE issue since. I applaud your customer service and reponse to issues when they arise...which are apparently extremely seldom. Great Job & Great Product!! I have a Great Dane Rescue (http://www.scgreatdanerescue.org) and am considering a purchase of your new alpha for the inside of the kennel area - the outdoor one still works fine...getting ready to place it in service today...figured it's time you heard from me about how great it is to enjoy the outdoors in SC, USA....we have hungry mosquitos here! Thanks, you guys do a wonderful job helping us enjoy outdoor life."
David Eade

"One reason I purchased the machines(Mega-Catch traps) was the favorable comments on the web from current users of the product. They went into detail of the great after purchase service they received. 'Tis true. thank you. This is not like the service I grew accustomed to with the mosquito magnet folks."
Douglas Twiddy

"Mega Catch is definitely the best mosquito control device I have ever had the pleasure of using! Malaria nearly destroyed my family several years ago, and I have spent hundreds of dollars searching by trial and error for an effective solution...thank goodness for you guys!"

"I live with a soft bottom flood channel behind me, which is a breeding ground for mosquitos. I was not able to enjoy the beautiful yard we had created because the mosquitos would take over our yard. I purchased the Ultra Mega Catch three years ago and have not been sorry. It has given our yard back to us. If you have problems with mosquitos, I HIGHLY recommend the Mega Catch."
Linda Riggs

"I purchased a Megacatch "Premier" about one year ago. I placed it in my outdoor courtyard that is approximately 25 ft. x 25 ft. and is surrounded by a brick wall. I received the Megacatch and found it very easy to assemble and had it placed strategically in the outer most corner of the courtyard.the Megacatch sits approx. 18 ft. from our patio table where six of us normally sit while entertaining. The Megacatch was remarkable in that none of us were bitten during the summer. It was set on auto and programmed to start at 7:00am in the morning and to shut off at 11:00pm most of the time. It definitely performed as advertised and my neighbors next door also noticed that there was few if any mosquitos to be seen that summer. Regarding no -see-ums, prior to my Premier model Megacatch, I used to be victim to many bites that were not from mosquitos.....and I no longer have to deal with "invisible insects, because Megacatch has ended their "reign"! Thanks so much to the very user-friendly Premier Megacatch! "
Vincent Carter
Illinois
" For maximum performance, I had to move the trap around to find that sweet spot. Initially I had the trap in the middle of the backyard, but that was too close to our table which made the mosquitoes attack us instead, as I moved the trap much further away (about 18 ft), underneath a tree and there you go, that was the "sweet spot" for my backyard, no more mosquito attacks again...I almost gave up thinking this trap does not work as advertised, but it does if you find the right combination of attractant and placement."
John Chien
Miami Beach, FL
" I am amazed at the effectivness of my three Alphas and one Premier in dealing with our neighborhood no-seeums. During the warmer period I was catching maybe 300 a night in the premier water catch outside, now maybe 30. We have taken back our screened in pool area using an Alpha and cleared out any biters in the house with another. These sand flies are brackish salt water marsh inhabitants and seem to be mostly active at dusk. The Megacatch traps have changed what looked like an extremely bad house purchase to something we can live well with on the edge of an attractive natural area."
Bob Swezey
Merritt Island, FL
" I consulted the owner's manual and found the helpful suggestion to check for debris in the fan. A few snails had come to live in the unit and a shell fell into the the fan and impeded it. So after two long seasons of heavy use, I took the unit apart and cleaned it.
We love our Mega Catch! It is so obvious that this product really works. It was immediately apparent when the unit stopped -- A return to the bad old days! "
Tracy Bernabo

" Excellent support! The technical representative I was dealing with went the extra mile to bring me complete satisfaction above and beyond the call of duty...super fast email response time, even on the weekend when I wasn't expecting to get a reply!"
Kenneth Lord

"I have never experienced such great customer service in years, it is so nice to talk to a person, have them understand their own product and send replacement parts fast. I'm very happy with the trap and outstanding support. THANKYOU. I have told my neighbours about the trap and the service. I have 1 acre and a half property, and my kids were able to play outside a little more this summer because of the fine work the trap did"
Stephen Pearson

"I am the Administrative Officer for the United States Agency International Development. We are part of the U.S. Embassy here in Port-au-Prince Haiti.

"I am blown away by Mega Catch's customer service. If only all companies were as attentive and speedy as this! After placing one call to a stateside ( U.S.) customer service number, I received a call from New Zealand (I'm assuming that must be headquarters for this company) by a technician within 15 minutes!!! The technician identified the problem and even though the trap was out of warranty, he insisted that it was a problem they wanted to fix and dispatched a replacement part AND some extra service parts for the inconvenience! All within 15 minutes of the initial call with no harassment or the usual run-around.
I'm still in a state of shock! I'll be happy to have the trap working at 100% because when it works, it does an amazing job! Thank you!!!"
Ben Kuykendall

"Thank you for the quick shipment of the replacement LCD unit for my Mega Catch Ultra. Your customer service is unbelievable as is your product; each time I've emailed you with a question or needed a replacement part the email was answered within a day and the part was in the mail.
In this day of internet sales that is just excellent service above and beyond what is required by your warranty. Since we live in the tropics (Maui, Hawaii) we use the Mega Catch almost year round to control the mosquitoes. As long as I do my part (keep the unit filled with water), it kills mosquitoes day in and day out.
Please enjoy the Hawaiian coffee that is enclosed as a token of our appreciation for your undying customer service and standing behind your products 110%."

'I received my Mega catch premier Last night and put it to use following the directions very closely (without the octenol). I installed it in my 3 1/2 car garage at 9 pm. The next day at 4pm, I had over 500 mosquitoes and a whole lot of other bugs in the water. Now I can use my work bench again without getting ate up. thank you very much. I cant wait to use it in our back yard. This Mega Catch is amazing. It overexceeded my expectations.'
Kevin Queen,

'We purchased several mega catch ultra machines prior to the Australian summer last year, one was for our property at Ingleside in Sydney.
We are on five acres and it had got to the stage where we could not go outside after the sun went down as we would be bitten by a combination of midges and mosquitoes, my wife is allergic to midge bites so we could never enjoy the summer evenings outside. A friend of mine suggested I buy a mega catch ultra machine which I did, one for home and one for our place on the Central Coast. On the Central Coast you would shoo away the mosquitoes (big brown ones) with one hand and they would land on the other, at all times of the day. One week after mega catch was installed with the co2, we see maybe one mozzie now and again, but we can now stop living behind the insect screens. At home within a week of setting it up at home with the co2 bottle we had hundreds of mosquitoes and midges in the catch water.
The very next weekend we sat outside after sunset for several hours, without a single mosquito or midgee to be seen or to bite us, we have since been able to enjoy our outside areas morning noon and night, without the threat of bites, this has given us our outside areas back.
Well done Mega Catch your machines work better than you could claim they are awesome and work wonders on all midges and mosquitoes , they have allowed us to regain the night!!! and the days outside'
Conn and Marilyn Saloumidis,

'Thank you for your recent phone call concerning a lack of performance from my Ultra trap. I took your advice and removed the Octenol strip. The difference in performance was immediate and astounding! Now instead of the mosquitoes swarming the outside of the trap but staying out, the reverse is happening. The most recent check had the bag full of mosquitoes (and moths, Junebugs, etc.) I guess the Canadian Mosquitoes just don't like the smell of the strip.
One question: When new varieties of mosquitoes start appearing (particularly those that switch from birds to humans in late July), should I put the strip back in? Those particular Mosquitoes are the nasty ones that carry the West Nile Virus.'
John Griffin
Canada
'John, we tell everyone to fine tune the set up of the trap to their particular mosquito species and as you say this can change over time. Most backyards will have up to a hundred mosquito species over the course of a year and they all respond slightly differently to the traps stimuli. The best analogy is fishing - you can't expect to catch all types of fish using the same bait - MegaCatch.'
"I did receive the lures in the mail just as you promised and I do very much appreciate it. The Mega Catch Premier model worked great. In just a couple of days, we had virtually eliminated the mosquito problem near our place in Texas. We use this as our get away place so we are not there but 4-5 times a year. Your product, I can assure you, has clearly exceeded all expectations and we thank you for making it available to consumers like ourselves. What is particularly noteworthy though is your obvious focus on providing only the best possible customer service. That is really what makes the difference anymore. You clearly went well beyond what most companies would do and for that I am deeply grateful. I am recommending your product to everyone I come in contact with that has a mosquito problem. Thank you for your outstanding product and customer service. It is fully recognized and most appreciated."
Tony Watts,
Big Sandy, TX
'The MegaCatch Alpha has been working great. There is no maintenance to keep in running outside of emptying the bag and switching out the Octenol every one in a while. This has been great at catching the no-see-ums in our yard as well as the mosquitos. It really allows us to enjoy our backyard.'
Jim Mahoney,
Wilmington, NC
"I just wanted to send a short message to let customer service know that my MegaCatch is finally working and what a great job Ken Child did. He went above and beyond to help me troubleshoot my unit and made sure that I had everything I needed to fix it. The customer support for this product was fantasic."
Carl Merritt
Arlington, TX
"Yes we love the machine, my backyard is about 1/3 acre with lots of tropical plants that like water. Before the ultra we could not sit outside most nights - when I don't forget to fill the trap with water we don't get any bites which is saying a lot as we have the tiger types here in Maui."
Jeff Brown
Maui, HI
"I must admit, your response was a pleasant surprise, and demonstrates that Megacatch is quite serious about customer service. The extras you included were completely above the pale. Thank you!
P.S. Megacatch is a great product. My next door neighbor has a Mosquito Magnet, but my Megacatch captures more mosquitos in a day than his device does in a week!"
David LeComte
Rehoboth, MA
"I have tried just about every mosquito catching/killing product that has been offered in the last 40 years with very little success and after this first summer of using the Ultra Mega Catch I can honestly say "wow what an awesome product". We had a swimming pool installed at the beginning of the season and we swam all summer at night and I think we saw 2 mosquitoes the entire summer. Before using your trap we couldn't even go out at night without being swarmed by them, the black fly "Big Problem" was also reduced "Big time"."
Thanks
Mike MontgomerySandown, N.H.
"I can recommend the Mega-Catch to my friends and neighbours. Last August hurricane Katrina ripped through my neighborhood. Many homes were destroyed and families uprooted. Many a backyard pool got contaminated and never cleaned. Cutting to the chase we had a dramatic increase in mosquito population. In just 1 - 3 weeks my Mega-Catch Ultra with octenol strip + 40 lb cylinder of carbon dioxide made it possible to re enter my backyard. It has cut way down the gnat population also."
Jeff Absher
Ocean Springs, MS
"Living on the gulf coast of Alabama mosquitoes have been a way of life – a constant annoyance that have appeared to be uncontrollable until I purchased a Mega-Catch. I have two and my neighbor has one, and together we seldom even see or hear a mosquito in the evening. We can enjoy our pool without the irritation of those little demons.
I tried professional spraying and other retail bug control items, but nothing gave us relief until I purchased the Mega-Catch. My friends complained about purchasing expensive propane for other mosquito devices which prompted me to do a little research. That is when I found the Mega-Catch and how simple it was to use. I just followed the instructions and in 2 weeks, mosquito freedom.
I cannot tell you how pleased I am with your product and your first class service. Please accept this note of thanks and feel free to share it with others that may have questions."
Bill Wynne
Gulf Coast, AL
Thank you very much for the assistance with My Mega Catch Ultra. It is just over a year old and let me tell you it is the best thing since sliced bread! We used it last summer and only noted 3 mosquito bites all summer. The summer before last we could not set foot outdoors without donating 3 pints of blood to the little buggers! I did some extensive research on mosquito control units and yours seemed to be the best choice. Now I can whole heartily confirm that. Thanks again for your assistance and commitment to customer satisfaction. It is very refreshing to see a company stand behind their product!
Joe Fantanarosa
Clarks Summit, PA
Just wanted to send a note to thank you guys for the superior service I received this month for my Mega Catch Premier. I emailed you with a problem with my unit. I was emailed back the next day with a note stating to give you my address and that you would send me a new
part and accessories- at NO CHARGE !!!!!!! I was amazed when I
received not only the new part, but also 2 bulbs, 2 octenol strips, a mesh catch container, and amazingly, no invoice or any charges due. I am sorry, but I did not save the person's name who contacted me and provided me with this amazing service. Again, I want to say a big THANK YOU to your company for the excellent service and also for this great product. I will recommend the Mega Catch to all of my neighbors, as I have in the past. It truly is a great machine, and this example of how your company treats it's customers goes a long way in my book.

I purchased a mega catch for my backyard. The results are more than I could have imagined. We are catching 50 to 500 mosquitoes a day depending on weather conditions. Our backyard once was a mosquito haven, now has become my families haven. For the first time we do not have to apply any lotions or deet. Your product works so well, that, never in my life have I written a testimonial. This product performs exactly as they promote it... Maybe a bit better. My Family would like to say......... ..Thank you !

Wow! Who doesn't like great customer service (especially free stuff)! Thank you so much. Fox shipped so fast I thought they hand delivered my accessory package. You have been so kind to me.You know that expression "What goes round comes round. I always try to send kindness around hoping that's what will follow in return. And it did! Now to go mosquito catching. Darn critters.

"How do we get replacements for these strips? The Mega Catch Mosquito Trap worked very well for us last summer when we had dozens of people over for a multi-day wedding celebration! Even my sister did not get a mosquito bite which she almost always gets when she visits us! So we need more of those fragrance strips. Please let us know how to get them!!"
(Shirley, you can buy them online at our website and they will be sent to you from Ohio. they are US$21.95 for two.)

"Your Ultra Trap is the only one I've found that catches Asian Tiger Mosquitoes, which is the variety we have in great abundance in southeast Tennessee. Since getting the MegaCatch, this past summer is the first time my wife and I have been able to enjoy our deck for more than a few minutes at a stretch.
Compliments to you for designing a device that works, first of all, and for being so thorough with instructions in the manual. It was a pleasure to work on the trap and see the thought and craftsmanship that went into its manufacture."

"It's working fine. There has been a marked reduction in the mosquito population in our backyard. We can sit outside without constant attack. I believe the secret is to move it around on a regular basis to cater for shifting winds and populations that are protected by the buildings etc. The area we live in is some 300 to 400m from a tide effected salt marsh so there is a constant supply of reinforcements that populate all areas around the house, so if they are outside of the CO2 stream or the physical/visual attractants they are not lured to the trap. In our case two traps would be ideal one on either side of the house would provide a complete envelope of protection."

"Hello. I just wanted to let you know how much I love my mega-catch premiere. We live in Lafayette, La, which has lots of mosquitoes in normal conditions, but after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, there has been a CRAZY amount of mosquitoes. This is why I decided to purchase a "mosquito machine." It has greatly eliminated the population of mosquitoes in our backyard, and our children are able to play outside again!
I did lots of research before making my purchase. I chose your machine because there is no propane tank to fool with, the price is unbeatable, and tests show that it catches and kills a good amount of mosquitoes.
I was concerned that our 6ft fence around our backyard would inhibit the effectiveness of the mega-catch, but it has not. I am recommending the mega-catch to my parents, who live on the bayou. They paid around $1,000 for the Mosquito Magnet and were pleased with it until it broke after only 6 months---something about the propane coil not lighting?? Anyhow, I'm sure that that the Mega-catch will do the job for them as well!"

"I purchased a Mega Catch Ultra in the spring of this year. I did extensive research over a six month period and chose your unit over the Mosquito Magnet. I had concerns because I live in a very wooded area, close to a small river and very near an area that is "swampy" when it rains. Over the years we had to limit our time outside due to the mosquitoes just overwhelming us. I have two young sons that love to play outside and it was a pain to have to put up with repellents and trying other things with little or no success. After using your product for the past six months, I can say without reservation, that this is one of the best products I have ever purchased! It has worked beyond my expectations. Our family goes outside from morning to night without even having to worry about mosquitoes.
Your product has changed our lifestyle! We forget about mosquitoes until we visit some of our friends homes and get bitten, then we are so thankful we chose your product to eliminate our problem. I am absolutely amazed at the results. I have not even seen a mosquito for over 3 months and for our area and history of dealing with these pests, that is beyond
belief. As a consumer not many times do I feel like I get my money's worth on products. Your product is more than advertised and I want to thank you for making our outdoor life better."

"I received the timer, strips, and light bulbs today and changed the timer out in about 20 minutes. I went ahead and changed out the bulb and saved the old one as a spare. The timer appears to be working properly. I am not sure what happened to old timer, the mega catch is pretty sheltered as it sits under the eve of the roof and away from direct rain. In any case we still seem to be pretty free of mosquitoes and other biting insects. We have about a 1/3 acre back yard and with lots of plants. For the first month or so, when I emptied the catch container and refilled, I would say each time, I had hundreds of dead mosquitoes. Slowly the number of mosquitoes caught decreased as we must have broken the breeding cycle and of course noticed no mosquitoes on our patio or around the pool. I think your product does a wonderful job.
Thanks again ever so much for the very fast response to fixing our problem."

"Thanks again for all your help and quick responses. I was convinced that the MegaCatch was the best unit when I bought it earlier this year. Little did I suspect that the service would be just as good as the product."

"I am writing this letter to complement you on your customer service on your product that can be described as nothing short of outstanding. Not only did you call me at my number in Wisconsin from New Zealand but also sent me the parts to correct the problem without a lot of unnecessary hassle. You are impressive and outstanding as is your product. It is the only mosquito device that we have tried that actually works. Thanks much for your assistance."

"I just want to let you know how amazed I am at the difference between the performance of your Mega-Catch and the American Biophysics Mosquito Magnet. The Mega-Catch is two to three times more efficient at catching mosquitoes than the Mosquito Magnet and cost only about a third as much.
However, the real difference is in the support I received. When I asked American Biophysics for replacement parts and technical help to repair my Mosquito magnets, I was told there was no help, or replacement parts available. My only option was to send the units back to the factory for repair, or to upgrade to the next better model. The costs to me were equal to the price of one to three brand new Mega Catch units for each of the Mosquito Magnets. I elected to scrap the Mosquito Magnets and buy two new Mega Catch units.
When my Mega Catch units needed service, not only was I able to download the complete service and parts manuals online, but Envirosafe sent me free of charge all the parts needed to upgrade my two units to the latest production configuration, and provided free advice on repairs.
Envirosafe and the Mega Catch are the only way to go if you want the best mosquito catcher available at the lowest price, and want the best factory help and support available."

"Two years ago we moved to Florida and bought a house on a “Preserve.” Although we love most of the animals that live there, it turns out to be a swamp all summer and breeds tons of mosquitoes. I am especially sensitive to insect bites, and felt trapped inside the screened pool enclosure. I understood why none of the neighbors had gardens out back. This year was by far the worst, and at times my legs were swollen for weeks from biting midges and others that left silver dollar sized red welts for 7 – 10 days. I was seriously thinking of moving.
Then I saw your website, and ordered a MegaCatch Premier. I ran with the bag for one night, and caught several hundred insects. Then I switched to the water trap, and cleaned out a thick soup every two to three days. After just two weeks, I had to travel for two weeks and left the unit on 8 hours a day at dusk and dawn. Upon returning, I find I can walk around the yard any time of day. I am starting a garden, and no longer even spray myself with DEET – even now in July! This has truly increased my Quality of Life here, and I can’t thank you enough."
Dan Stanhope, Florida
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. The control box and the timer worked great. My Mega-Catch is back in action. Thanks for the extra bulb and octenol card. You guys are too cool. If you want a kick-ass reference, please feel free to use me."

"Recently I purchased a MegaCatch Premier. I just wanted to pass along my thanks for making a functional product that does what it is supposed to, and isn't difficult to use. We'd tried the mosquito magnet prior to your product, and were disappointed quickly.
I'm attaching a link to my personal site where I post reviews of new gadgets that I've tried. I am the Mobile Technology columnist for AirstreamLife Magazine, and many of the magazine's readers visit my site as well to see what personal reviews I have up that don't hit our publication. I've included a very positive review of the MegaCatch on my site, and we may run a small side story in next year's Spring issue of the magazine for folks getting ready for the next season of travel and mosquitoes.
Thanks for a quality product."

"Please be advised that I received the timer that I requested. Due to Hurricane Season in Florida we have not had a chance to set up the new timer. I wanted to thank you for such a timely response and I am happy to see that your company stands behind its product.
Thank you"

"I was the first person in my neighborhood to get a Mosquito Magnet 4 years ago. Living in Miami, any improvement in the reduction of mosquitoes is welcomed. Soon I had many of my friends and neighbors buying them. However, after 4 years of erratic use and 3 failed power packs later I finally found out about your product. Within a few days the Ultra caught more mosquitoes than the Mosquito Magnet did in a whole month. In addition, the customer service I have experienced with Mosquito Central is leagues above Mosquito Magnet. So you have a new spokesperson here in Miami!
Thank you for your incredible
timely and professional attention."
Michael Schaelling
"Thanks for your phone call today and your prompt reply regarding the fan maintenance/cleaning. My Mega Catch is back in action after cleaning the fan per your instruction. You have a good product!"

"My wife and I live in Minnesota where mosquitoes are a constant problem. We love to spend our leisure time working in our large garden and picking raspberries from our large raspberry patch. We also have several dogs and enjoy being with them outside in the summer months. After a full day of this kind of activity, we enjoy using our hot tub that is also outside.
Unfortunately, our mosquitoes are so plentiful that one just can not be outside when there is a large population of biting insects to deal with. This is why we purchased our ultra unit two years ago. Now we are able to do the things we love to do without the constant discomfort of biting insects. I empty our trap every night and find a huge mass of dead mosquitoes that are trapped and gone forever from our yard and garden. (Our neighbors are happy we have the unit also.)
One more thing, I just received the parts I ordered for my unit. The service was superb and I really feel that the people from Mega catch really care because they offer such excellent service when parts become necessary.
We love this product and we appreciate the people who manufacture these units and offer customer support when that becomes necessary.
Thank you very much for your help. We are able to enjoy Minnesota summers thanks to the ultra mega catch that just keeps working for us."

"We are thrilled with the Mega Catch Premier. We have tried the top selling brand in the USA which uses Co2 but since these broke down we wanted to try another brand. Found the Mega Catch on a search engine. Ordered one and absolutely satisfied. We caught so many no-see-ums and mosquitos - we used the bag at first as it's easier to see how many you catch. We are going to order a few more machines so our neighbours and friends can benefit from this fabulous machine."
Bo and Mark, Hong Kong
"Satisfied is not the word, it's thrilled. My house is 50 feet from a cypress pond (swamp) and you could not go outside in the warm weather without being attacked by mosquitoes. I purchased the Ultra Mega-Catch and have no mosquitoes. I then bought the CO2 to boost the attraction but it would have continued to kill the mosquitoes without it. It is unbelievable that the mosquitoes in the area have been eradicated. The gate to my house is 900 feet away and there are no mosquitoes there either.
You have a very happy customer and of course I tell everyone. I'm not sure they believe me but that's fine, I'm happy. Thank you."
Lucille D. Verson
"Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we are with the Ultra. Catching hundreds of mosquitoes a night. We live here in New Hampshire and it not only catches mosquitoes and black flies, but also those biting deer flies. In fact, the Mega Catch left in the sun during a warm day catches lots of deer flies.
Many of our friends had bought the Mosquito Magnet and while it works, many are having problems getting the things to work after a single season.
The engineering in the Mega Catch while very advanced, is also simple so that you have confidence it is going to start each and everytime you turn it on.
Thanks for a great product."
Patrick Payette, South Alabama
"You were right and now I have a lot of mosquitoes in the pail. Thank you for putting up with my fears. Last night I was able to sit outside on my deck without the coils and all the awful smells and we only saw a few bugs, it was wonderful. Thank you again."
Gloria Williams, Massachusetts
"I want to tell you how pleased I am with the mega-catch unit. Being from South Alabama, only blocks from our salt marshes, we have put a dent in the local mosquito population. We can enjoy the outdoors without that persistent buzzing. I am amazed how quiet the unit functions. Two guys I work with were so impressed they have purchased units themselves. Thanks again for taking care of my problems."
Bill Wynne, South Alabama
"You were absolutely correct. The fan was unplugged. It's working just fine now. Thank you so much for the great service. It indicates your pride and confidence in your product. Happy days."
Morris Rasciner
"We just purchased a Mega-Catch Ultra and were so pleased that we ordered another after only two days of operation. We have had a Mosquito Magnet Defender for about a year, but it never seemed to do much, and we've continued to have a mosquito problem. As an experiment, we placed the Mega-Catch unit (without CO2) a few feet away from the Mosquito Magnet.
By the next morning, both units were covered with biting flies. And both had caught quite a few mosquitoes. The Mega-Catch caught more, but the Mosquito Magnet set a new record for that unit. It seems obvious that the Mega Catch was responsible for attracting the mosquitoes to the vicinity of both units. Getting the mosquitoes to the unit has always been the problem with the Mosquito Magnet, as we live near the shore where the wind direction tends to change from morning to evening."
John Donley
"I would like to thank you for your quick service response. I really can't do without your MegaCatch premier unit. Just last Sunday we were having a bar b que in our back yard and were getting literally swarmed by mosquitoes. I brought our unit from the front yard to the back, and within about 20 minutes, no more mosquito problems. I ordered a second unit today and anticipate never seeing a mosquito again. Your product is the best."
Pat Taylor, CA 95602
"I just received package contains new parts for Mega-Catch. And I successfully replaced all necessary parts. Then unit starts working as used to!!
We are so happy now. We just noticed that after we lost Mega-Catch working, we got mosquito bite every nights. So, it is very very efficient the Mega-catch works.
And your service is great. I am totally , completely
satisfied with your products and service. You are
the best.
Thank you so much."

"I have a Mega-Catch Premier Model MCP400 and have had this machine since May 2004. It has done an outstanding job and I am very happy with the performance."

"I am very happy with the performance of the Mega-Catch. To date it has enabled us to use our deck all summer while neighbors have been driven indoors by the mosquitoes (Asian variety). Thanks."
Paul - Virginia
"The Mega-Catch worked really well last year. We used it from March until November in coastal Alabama (on a creek) and never had a problem with mosquitoes. The water usually looked like soup every weekend when we'd refill it. I was especially glad to see that biting flies (yellow flies) were somewhat attracted."
Linde - Alabama
"With all the trouble a person has with companies honoring warranties it is a surprising pleasure to have a company who truly provides customer service. My two friends brought the Ultra Mega-Catch as well and I'll be sure to let them and others know about your product and more importantly your customer service. Thank you."
Marold - NY
"When I read your note to my wife, she said "That's Impressive". I agree. Thank you for the excellent customer support. I will swap out the timer and send the bad one back to you when the new one arrives."
Andy - GA
"I really do appreciate the fine customer service that you provide. Being in the service business, I know how important first impressions are and how such actions build a company's reputation. Your interest and extra effort to produce a truly satisfied customer worked. You will get all good advertisements from me.
Following your advice, I checked all the wires to ensure they were firmly seated. When that did not work I took the device inside and laid it down where I could get a good look. As you had predicted, the fan wire was completely loose and hanging in mid air. Outside it had looked like the colored wires were tied to the black wires and that only the black wires were attached. Took the device apart and seated the wire firmly. Screws back in, skirt back on and back in service it went. Great first night catch!
Thanks for the help."

"We have had 6 Mega-Catch Mosquito machines since 2002 and another 3 since 2003. We are quite pleased with there service of trapping and killing mosquito's. We have 15 acres in the middle of the woods in Napies, Florida. Before we got these machines, the mosquito population was very high. We wore spray most all spring and summer. Our property is home for a lot of children and we had to do something to keep our kids from being ate up. Especially with West Nile and other disease's carried by mosquito's. I wood definitely recommend the use of these machines. Our machines are the CO2 kind because the cost for CO2 is minimal and last longer than the gas at least for our use. We have 9 of the 2002 ultra on our property."

"How often should I need replacement strips? By the way - this thing works GREAT!"
Nick Decker
"My wife and I live on a lake and this year we could not go outside as the mosquito population was the worst I'd ever seen. I bought the mega catch and can't pretend to understand how it works with its blinking lights and UV light. All I know is that it does work. My wife is a mosquito magnet and she has not had one mosquito byte since we installed it."
Bill Hanson
"We were stunned by the performance of our new Mega-Catch premier trap. We have a river side property and in summer we are plagued by mosquitoes, sand flies and midges. On the first night we caught so many insects that they filled the catch container. There were too many to count but I would estimate the number at over 100,000."
Carol Hewett
“Received the Ultra trap in good order thanks. Works. I haven’t yet used CO2 but I am catching a great lot of mosquitoes – around 150 the first night.
However I am catching a lot of tiny little black insects like midges. I think they must be sand flies or similar.
My question is: does the trap gather up a lot of non biting insects?
I see about 4 or 5 moths but these little things are in the hundreds. Furthermore our garden has plenty of invisible little buggers that bite just around the ankles and sting like mad. I am hoping it is them I am catching."
James McCruddle
Response: “Yes you are catching biting midges (no-see-ums). These pests are best caught using the wet catch system”.
“Congratulations Mega-Catch. Yesterday evening was a balmy
summer night yet no mosquitoes. I checked our trap in the morning
and found why. There was easily 400 in the trap."
Craig Gordon Kavaka
“ We live in a two acre lifestyle block in a rural area which is mainly intensified dairy farming. The cows bring a plague of mosquitoes.
We bought two Mega-Catch (MCP-400) and you may be interested
to know (rather than 6-8 weeks claimed) we have found when the traps
are run for 4 days and then turned off it is two to three days before
mosquito activity is noticeable again."
Cathy & Rick Orini
“ You are right about Mega-Catch being a serious mosquito
trap. We started using the catch net on our new Premier trap so
that I can keep a track of what we are catching. After a week we
had caught around 5,000! Thankfully the numbers are falling off
so it is definitely working."
David Goldwater
The major benefits gained from the Mega-Catch were the savings in time and travel through the use of the programmable timer/clock. The use of gas rather than dry ice is more convenient and also a saving in cost and travel. The timer also performs as a conservation unit for battery power and gas. The unit performed well and to expectations over more than 3 months.
The robustness of the unit deserves comment. The sites selected for
trapping were mainly coastal with onshore winds and often wet conditions.
Sheep and cattle were usually in the same area and the unit showed no signs
of damage from them. There were no breakages or breakdowns during surveillance
– even in a flood situation that washed the battery connection away
the only adjustment was to reconnect the crocodile clip to the battery.
Another unit operated without fault after falling from a traveling vehicle.

"Mosquito control is further enhanced by the installation of the world's most proven mosquito, "Mega-catch", an ingenious device."
This devise has proven so successful in many field tests, especially in the USA (although the device comes from New Zealand). We "hide" this behind the middle villa and it effectively covers all three.
