Product Reviews

Worked less than a year
Although I didn't buy this unit from Amazon, I thought I should let folks know about the troubles I have had with the MT-350.

It worked for a couple months during the summer and seemed to catch mosquitoes, however it quit just before the end of the season. Since then I haven't been able to get past the 3 blinking lights (no propane). Tried everything to fix the problem. Called Flowtron customer support several times with little satisfaction...they kept saying try something else to troubleshoot the problem.

The latest call resulted in them telling me the unit is now beyond warranty even though the unit failed before the warranty period expired. And they had the gall to tell me I could send them $175 for an "upgraded" head unit. It appears they have fixed some old problems. This is not what I call customer service especially after spending $400 to purchase the unit in the first place.

Bottom line...unit doesn't work and customer service doesn't either! I would say avoid the Flowtron PowerTrap MT-350!

Worked only one season!
This unit worked for one summer, I stored it indoors and set it up the next spring. It refused to work so I cleaned the lines with a CO2 cartridge. That didn't work so I sent it to the manufacturer. They sent back a rebuilt unit that worked for one day. It seems the lines get clogged and the unit must be dissassembled and cleaned. This appears to be a design flaw with all of these types of mosquito catchers.

Worked for 1 season
Worked for 1 season, then just stopped catching mosquitoes.
Not sure why, was cleaned and stored indoors over the winter, added a brand new propane tank, new attractant, and recleaned in spring.
