Lentek Mosquito Trap

An overview of the mosquito killer and other insect control products and systems.

The Lentek mosquito trap is a popular and effective means of deterring mosquitoes.  While the units are relatively expensive compared to cheaper models out there (like Mosquito Deleto), owners of these traps are particularly pleased with the heavy duty job that Lentek traps do when it comes to killing mosquitoes.

A beautiful yard or outdoor area can easily be ruined by the presence of mosquitoes.  Summers are a great time of year, but the majority of the country has to deal with an ever growing mosquito problem, as they seem to be everywhere.  Preying on human blood (this happens to be a mosquito’s favorite food), the thousands of mosquitoes that can live within the confines of your home can easily chew your body up to the point of discomfort.  A Lentek mosquito trap can definitely help to fight the battle against these pesky, extremely annoying insects.

Bug sprays can be equally annoying.  Not only do they smell, but they can feel greasy or sticky, not to mention the fact that some people simply prefer not to have to put chemicals onto their skin simply for the benefit of avoiding mosquitoes.  None of this is necessary should you be fortunate enough to have a Lentek mosquito trap.

The most popular model is probably the Lentek MK11G mosquito trap, though there are several others in the line.  This is a heavy duty machine that usually retails in the $300 to $400 range, and you may have even seen a TV commercial advertising this product.  Here’s how it works in a nutshell.

First of all, you should know that the Lentek mosquito trap is powered by propane, as well as some electricity.  By placing it into your yard and giving it a single tank of propane, up to 3/4 of an acre can be entirely covered for up to a month per propane tank. The MK11G Lentek mosquito traps have a smart system in place that basically duplicates all of the things that mosquitoes typically look for in humans.

Emitting carbon dioxide, body heat, moisture, and even some color and airflow, any mosquito in the area will be naturally drawn to this since this is what typically attracts them to people.  They’ll literally think that they’re approaching human blood, and the Lentek mosquito trap will lure them in with a trap.

Since you’ll have plenty of dead mosquitoes (and other insects) trapped inside the machine, you’ll want to make sure that it’s easy to clean – and it is.  People seem to have no problems cleaning out the filter.  You’ll also be happy to know that the Lentek mosquito trap is effective in all forms of weather.

Other models include the Lentek Guardian mosquito trap and the Lentek 1/2 acre mosquito trap, which naturally covers a smaller area.  This may be a more cost effective option for you if you have a smaller outdoor area that doesn’t need the coverage that the Lentek MK11G gives.

With many great models available online, your next steps should be to continue researching your options to determine who is selling this for the best price and which size may be best suited for your home.
