The Best Mosquito Traps for a Bug-Free Summer
Sarah Connor · 2024-06-04 · via Latest Content - Popular Mechanics

On Sale

DT1130SR 1/2 Acre Mosquito & Flying Insect Outdoor Trap

Now 20% Off

Pros

  • Half-acre coverage area
  • Fan is whisper-quiet
  • Durable all-weather design

Cons

  • Requires an electrical connection

The DT1130SR covers up to half an acre using DynaTrap’s three-way lure system: a UV LED light attracts insects, a titanium dioxide-coated surface generates a CO₂ trail that mimics human breath, and a fan pulls them into a retaining basket. It catches mosquitoes, flies, wasps, gnats, and other flying insects without pesticides, propane, or a loud zapping grid.

The weather-resistant build handles full-season outdoor use, and maintenance is minimal—just press a button to empty the basket and swap the long-lasting LED bulb as needed. For best results, DynaTrap recommends placing it 3-6 feet off the ground and 20-40 feet from your seating area. However, it’s worth noting that the trap requires an electrical connection to operate, so placement will depend on where you have access to an outdoor outlet.

E55 E-Series Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller

Pros

  • Safe for pets and children
  • Rechargeable

Cons

  • Smaller coverage area compared to larger products

As a bug spray or bug zapper alternative, Thermacell's products repel bugs and mosquitos using an EPA-reviewed formula that doesn't include DEET. This small device creates a 20-foot repellant zone, and can last up to 5.5 hours on a single charge.

DT2030SR

Pros

  • One-acre coverage
  • Chemical-free bug attraction

Cons

  • Fan is a bit louder than other models from DynaTrap

This is an outdoor insect-control device with a wide reach—it covers up to 1 acre. It uses a UV LED light and a titanium dioxide-coated surface to produce CO₂, mimicking human breath to attract mosquitoes and other flying insects. A quiet, fan-powered vacuum system then draws pests into a retaining cage where they dehydrate and die.

This bug catcher can be cleaned easily with its touch-button basket. It catches more than just mosquitoes; moths are also very drawn to this model.

Oasis Ovi-Mini Mosquito Trap

Pros

  • Comes in 4-pack
  • Non-toxic, natural attractant

Cons

  • Requires some setup

For an affordable, all-natural option to capture mosquitoes, these traps may be your answer. They leverage a design that lures female mosquitoes inside to lay their eggs. Once the eggs are laid, they fall through the mesh trap, hatch in the water, and the emerging adult mosquitoes remain contained within the unit.

Upon setup, users add a combination of organic materials, such as clipped grass, dried leaves, and hay soaked in water, rather than insecticides, to attract female insects.

Indoor Insect Trap

Pros

  • Quiet internal fan
  • Fits comfortably in kitchens

Cons

  • Sticky pads can be messy

Sometimes, bugs are not limited to your patio or yard. If you experience an unfortunate mosquito or fruit fly infestation that can happen indoors in the summer, this trap uses a UV light source to attract insects, a built-in fan to create a low-pressure airflow that draws them in, and a replaceable adhesive glue board to securely trap them.

Operating without chemical attractants or electric grids, the model offers a very quiet fan, built for kitchens, garages, and attics where insects may frequent. The sticky pads are helpful for trapping, but can be messy to change.

On Sale

Ultrasonic Pest & Insect Repeller

Now 29% Off

Pros

  • Chemical-free
  • Very easy to use

Cons

  • Recommended for indoor use only

The Neatmaster Ultrasonic Repeller offers a low-maintenance, chemical-free approach to indoor pest control. This plug-in device uses ultrasonic and electromagnetic wave technology to help deter mosquitoes, mice, roaches, spiders, ants, and other common household pests without sprays or traps. Each unit covers up to 1,200 square feet, and the included four-pack makes it easy to protect multiple rooms at once.

We also like its compact, outlet-friendly design and simple setup—plug it in and let it run. Adjustable frequency modes allow users to tailor the intensity based on the severity of the infestation, while the quiet operation keeps it unobtrusive for everyday use.
