We purchased the Mosquito Magnet Patriot model by Woodstream Company for use on our Maryland property. After two weeks less than a dozen mosquitoes were trapped. Customer service went over a number of checks to insure the unit was operating properly and discussed best placement practices. Nothing helped! There were still enough mosquitoes left to eat you alive. It was decided to return the product.
Return was made to directly to the manufacturer since that is where it was purchased. I was surprised to learn that a 15% restocking fee was to be charged. A review of the return policy only said, "in some cases, a small restocking fee may be charged." This point should have been made more clear on their web site. Purchasing from a local retailer would have avoided this charge and shipping fees.
In summary, I find the product ineffective and the charging of a restocking fee improper.
