I started spraying Bifen 7.9% and it’s been great. Had the sticks and won’t buy them again

I used them the previous two years and put out early in the season. They didn’t make any noticeable impact whatsoever. I’m not using again this year.

In my experience, pretty much worthless.

They didn’t work at all as far as I could tell.

My wife has been bugging me to put some spartans in the yard so I hung them about 2 weeks ago. I'm dubious about their efficacy but it made my wife happy.

Tried, yes. Success? No. I don't think any useful amount of CO2 is produced by the yeast/sugar.

I’ve tried them every other year for a few years. I can’t say they helped and I never found a ton of mosquitoes in the traps. Probably won’t use again.

Yep, it's just Bifen. After spraying your perimeter spray it in the social areas outside of your house, such as back patios, front porch, etc.. up the walls and under the soffits. I spray the concrete under our carport and back patio also. we can lounge around outside in the evenings for about two months after doing this.

Screw the mosquitos. If these things stop nagging, I’m hanging them everywhere!

The mosquitoes are supposed to feed/poison and leave, it's not a trap per se.

That said, I don't think they work worth a flip. I tried them for 2 years with zero success.

After reading the ingredients, I think it produces CO2 and attracts the mosquitoes. The idea may be to place them away from where you hang out so the little vampires end up elsewhere in your yard.
If my wife doesn't get bitten, they are worth every penny and I'll pay it!

Delete. Just realized I already answered this when it was originally posted.
