Well, since I left Chili's I joined Marshall Associates, which is a vendor rep. company that takes care of 50 product lines at Home Depot in the Seasonal / Garden department. One of the lines that we rep. is the Mosquito Magnet, which performs about 10 times better (really!) than the deleto item.

Its made by American Biophysics, and they invented the technology. The smallest unit, the Defender, will drastically reduce the number of blood sucking insects from 1/2 an acre (that's 22,200 sq. ft) for +/- $295 plus about $20.00 per month in propane, electricity, CO2 cartridges and replacement nets. The $375 Liberty unit covers a full acre with the same operating costs. Generally, the MM will reduce the number of mosquitos in the coverage area such that the biting rate will go down to between 1/10th to 1/100th of what it was. Correct placement of the unit in your yard and correctly following the maintenence schedule will greatly increase the catch rate. For those in the southeast, read up on the Asian Tiger Mosquito

and use the Lurex added attractant instead of the included Octenol.
Of course my company also takes care of Raid, Off and Tiki Torches and those are decent repellants, but won't kill the little bloodsuckers....
End of shameless plug....
