Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech – Supplemental Box (1 of 2 Required Boxes)

We hung 4 of the Spartan mosquito tubes exactly one month ago after following the directions exactly as described. I had read a lot of rather mixed reviews prior to trying these. From what I gathered, the 5 star reviewers seemed to follow the directions for the time of placement along with number of tubes and the areas on the property they placed them. We hung 4 tubes on a .80 acre property to keep mosquitos at bay on our large back deck area and off of the garage and driveway area, where kids tend to hang out with friends and work on cars, boat, and prepare fishing equipment etc.- areas where in the evening we have always had problems with mosquitos biting like crazy as soon as the sun starts to go down. We hung all 4 tubes within trees: one in each corner of the backyard, one in a tree that runs parallel to the garage and driveway, and one in a tree in the front yard on the last front corner of the property. I have been sitting outside several nights a week, most recently 2 nights ago, sitting out on the deck from dusk until total darkness with extreme humidity after a 93 degree day. We have not sprayed, used any citronella, or skin repellents. I can confidently say that since we hung the tubes, I have only seen one mosquito in my backyard in one entire month. We live within walking distance to a large pond. I am truly amazed that we have been able to gather in our yard in the evenings and are not experiencing getting bitten by mosquitoes. I ordered 4 more tubes so that I can maintain the same result for July. The Spartan product comes with extensive instructions on how to use the mosquito tubes so that you obtain excellent results. They even provide a link to a video on instructions. I believe if you follow their directions, they work. If you already have a huge mosquito problem on your property, I’m not sure how effective they will be. I think placing these tubes early before the mosquitos are out in full swing is a priority, as well as maintaining the tubes. Due to evaporation of the water in extreme heat and the potential of hard rains diluting the tubes in the summer months, you need to follow instructions for replacing tubes on your property every 30 days or sooner as needed. I am looking forward to seeing how July and August go. I think for the cost of 4 tubes a month through the summer months and maybe early fall, this is a cost effective solution for us. I am not a fan of spraying the property at all, so this product has been a game-changer! Also, want to mention that we have thriving purple Martin birds and several other birds on our property, several squirrel families, rabbits, and a lot of dragonflies & butterflies. I feel confident that using the Spartan mosquito tubes on our property will not have a negative impact on the wildlife. The tubes are hung at least 6 feet high on branches within trees.

We buy these every year for our yard, and the yard around our kennels. We have noticed a significant reduction in the amount of mosquitos, making it safer for the dogs, and more pleasant for us.

I really wanted this to work. I watched online videos and researched these things but I can not say that these honestly work AT ALL. According to the instructions, the mosquitos are attracted to the liquid inside these tubes. They climb inside and drink the liquid and then fly away and die.. What? So I have to just take your word for it? I checked these things daily and never saw so much as one mosquito come near these things. You would think that you would find a least one mosquito inside the containers but nada! Full transparency, I did find a few ants and a spider, in the tubes but I have a real pest control company for those! I saw no difference in the mosquito population in my yard. These things are pretty pricey. I need something more than, "They drink and die some place else, trust us". In the end, I tried it, and I was not convinced in the least. Unfortunately once you use them, you can't send them back. Kinda feel like this is a scam in every single way. Thumbs down. ~Cheers!

We live next to a creek, and no matter where I am, mosquitoes love to bite me. The first year we moved to this house, I could not enjoy our beautiful mountain yard because I would get eaten alive by mosquitoes. The following year I tried these and it has worked amazingly well since. Now, I can enjoy being outside and rarely get bitten. It's important to use it as directed with spacing and placement.

Woks good, but expensive and had to wait to get it. was out of stock for a time

I know people who swear by these. I was dissapointed. We still were eaten alive despite putting these out. After the fact, going back and reading about the product, my issue may have been user error. It says you need four of these per acre, and I just ordered the one set of two--which it had been more evident I was only ordering two when I need 4. The packaging was crap, pieces all over in a larger box with my order. Just pay attention to how many you need and how many you are getting. There is another listing for 4 somewhere out there
