 Not a well thought out design at allSep 23, 2008
By S. Powell
"alfredenewman"
I was hopeful for a non-chemical mosquito trap. And, with the success of this companies other products, I thought they might be onto something. Nope. Mosquitoes still completely control my back yard. All his thing seems to catch is a few moths and other random bugs. Ok.. there were some mosquitoes in there, but not many at all. But, the worst thing about this trap, is not it's lack of bug killing.. it's the lack of foresight by the designers. At some point, a large moth got caught in the fan blades and stalled it out. Who knows just how long the fan was stuck, but it burned out. After I cleaned out the moth and other bits, the fan refused to go. Ok.. no problem I though. I'm pretty handy with fixing things, and replacing a simple 80mm fan should be a snap right? WRONG!! There is NO way to remove the fan without destroying the whole unit. The bolts that hold the fan in place are run from the top down and then covered with non-removable electronic parts. Are you kidding me!! How could you not expect the fan to one day need replacing, and design it so it CAN be easily replaced!!!! Even if this thing managed to catch 2/3s of the mosquitoes in my yard, this fan fiasco is a show stopper.

 A good little mosquito trapFeb 09, 2009
By Jan Dunlop
This little trap worked wonders for me as a secondary trap to an Ultra. The Utra is used out in the garden and does most of the work while the alpha I use around the house closer to our decks as a secondary defence. Catching mosquitoes is a little bit like fishing, it sometimes takes a bit of time experimenting with locations and settings which is why I think some people get frustrated. If you think you can just plug these things in and have all your mosquitoes magically disappear in a week, you will be disappointed. A little bit of trial and error and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Mega-Catch Works For Us!Aug 04, 2008
By Karen Tucker
Living in a townhouse community in Florida, 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!

Doesn't work for Asian tiger mosquitoesSep 06, 2008
By Scincus
I live in a suburban area plagued by Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus). I bought a Mega-Catch Alpha trap at the end of summer 2006 and tried it for a few days. Upon examining the catch bag, I found that the trap had caught dozens of small moths and other non-biting insects, but only one or two mosquitoes.
I tried the trap again in the summer of 2007. I moved it to different locations, and used octenol and lurex attractants in the trap as well. In all cases the results were the same--lots of moths, but essentially no mosquitoes.
It's possible that this trap may work for some other mosquito species, but if your problem is the Asian tiger mosquito, the Mega-Catch Alpha doesn't do any good.

Catches everything but...Jul 10, 2008
By gbsales
I had high hopes for the Mega Catch Alpha. We have a bad mosquito problem. We continue to try every product we can get our hands on. I received the Alpha late last year. We run in continuously in the back yard. The results were questionable. Running it again this summer has convinced me it's not making a dent in our mosquito population. Looking in the catch bag reveals a small amount of other flying insects but few if any mosquitoes. It's back to the drawing board for us.
