Mega-Catch Alpha Mosquito Trap MCA-600 Review
Mega-Catch Alpha Mosquito Trap MCA-600

Users posting Mega-Catch (starting at $69, Amazon) reviews on Amazon have mixed opinions when it comes to this trap's effectiveness. Satisfied users contend it works great when left on 24/7. They say it's convenient to use indoors and out and optional cartridges make it even more effective during prime bug season. Users who don't like it say in Mega-Catch reviews that the trap attracts mosquitoes but doesn't capture them. A Mega-Catch review at Picaridin.info reports that the trap seems durable and well-made.

The Mega-Catch Alpha Mosquito Trap MCA-600 uses a pulsating LED light and heat to attract mosquitoes and a fan to trap them. Additionally, the trap offers the option of a chemical cartridge, so it can be used indoors or out -- just make sure not to use a chemical lure in the house. The trap is weatherproof and has a coverage area of half an acre.

The option of using a chemical lure makes this trap appealingly versatile; it's capable of dispatching mosquitoes inside or out. The mixed user reviews kept us from including it among our picks.
