SPARTAN MOSQUITO ERADICATOR - Whole Yard Outdoor Mosquito Protection Solution - Mosquito Free Backyard Garden Patio (Starter KIT - 4 Tubes)

I bought 4 packs, total of eight for two acres. Analyzing the contents, it is yeast, sugar and probably borate. The concept is you pour warm water into the yeast to activate it. The yeast feed off the sugar and emit C02. Mosquito's fly in and drink the water/borate and die. This concept has been around quite a while using a pepsi bottle, google it. The thing is, the pepsi trap, like this, under real tests do not work.The container is a long skinny smooth tube. It has six tiny holes up on top. Supposedly, the mosquito will, somehow, detect the C02, fly up to the tip of the smooth plastic tube and squeeze itself in this 4mm hole, tucking its legs and body in as it slides itself in this pin hole. Then once inside, fly down the narrow shaft take a drink of water, fly up the thin shaft, and once again tuck its legs in and squeeze itself through to fly away. This concept is so far fetched. I would like to see real proof than unproven customer reviews. It would be great that the manufacture would show real data and show mosquito accessing these tubes as they say.I opened one up and poured the contents out. Only bugs I see are fruit flies and a few house flies, but not mosquito's. I will take pictures next time. I find it interesting that the manufacturer mentions that the mosquitoes fly out, thus you will not see any mosquitoes trapped in the tube. Yet, fruit flies, and house flies, which are notoriously way better flyers and can crawl, can not find their wait out of the trap.

This product is a scam.The “active” ingredients are salt and sugar.You know, Malaria is a global problem. Don’t you think that if salt (aka sodium chloride) and sugar (aka sucrose) could actually reduce or eradicate mosquitoes, this product would win the inventor the Nobel Prize?The trap will collect some flies and bugs attracted to the sugar, but no mosquitoes.Also, if you write a “bad” review, the sellers contact you and tell you that you aren’t “installing” it correctly. You see, you have to put just the right number of traps in just the right locations in your yard. Yeah, right.

We have a terrible problem with both the Egyptian and Asian Tiger mosquitoes in our neighborhood. If I spend five minutes outdoors without repellent I'll collect at least another two bites. We've tried just about everything, and based on some glowing reviews we thought we'd try this too. At the mfr recommendation we put out four traps because it was late in the season. Did they help??HA! I checked the traps several times over the course of the following months. Not only were the mosquitoes as bad as ever, the traps seemed EXCELLENT at trapping ants and gnats, but not a single mosquito that I could tell. I'd say don't waste your money.

Update: My first review I gave one star because they did not work for me. I am now giving 5 stars for customer service. Originally I purchased 2 sets (4 tubes total) installed exactly as instructed...right distance apart, away from where we sit, and in the shade... Added 2 more 2 weeks after. Mosquitos were still insane and i felt like it did not help at all. I have been sent another set to cover my acreage with instructions to use bottled water and a map of my property with ultra-specific instructions on where to place. Never seen customer service this great before. I am going to hang as instructed and really hope they work. If they do I'm going to always have working sets hanging and encourage all my neighbors to do the same. I will update in a month with results. Very hopeful. Worth every penny if it will work.

These are useless. As another reviewer wrote, just look at the ingredients. I've noticed no change at all over the last few weeks these have been out. There are very few products that fit into the category of feeling like I was suckered for buying them and this is definitely one of those purchases.

We live in Texas a block from a creek in a neighborhood w/lots of trees. We typically have mosquitos swarming around our doors and find them in the house on a daily basis. We put a Spartan container at each of the front corners of our house and each of the back corners of our yard. Are they gone? No. However, it is a HUGE improvement!! Very satisfied customer.

I loved this concept, I really wanted it to work! I bought the 2 box bundle (4 tubes) here on Amazon and deployed all 4 of them according to the instruction on the box. Checked them today and all 4 had been chewed at the bottom by squirrels and were empty (picture attached). $50 down the drain or at least down the squirrel. Maybe the manufacturer will come up with a metal bottle or some other squirrel proof solution in the future, but as is, definitely didn't work for me.

With the amount of wooded area on our 3.5 acre property, plus all the Minnesota lakes surrounding us... our yard was practically a mosquito convention. Seriously, they were everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I could barely even walk out into our yard in the daytime let alone the evening without being covered in bites. But now... I can go out and enjoy it at any time of the day.. and even take a stroll in our woods which was IMPOSSIBLE before. Spartan mosquito eradicators WORK! Run, don’t walk to order yours today! Stop being breakfast, lunch and dinner for those devilish little vampires and go enjoy your yard!! You won’t be disappointed! 😊
