Intermatic MZ501 Malibu Sentinel 360 Mosquito Defense System

March 15, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 




The Malibu outdoor solar-powered mosquito inhibitor is designed, engineered and field-proven to catch mosquitoes and other biting insects. With a patented combination of six proven technologies, it establishes a 360-degree mosquito capture zone in your yard. An alternative to lotions, sprays and matches, this mosquito inhibitor is easy to uses. Operating on low-voltage power with no zapping, the trap silently attracts mosquitoes to infrared targets, various lights and contrasting color patterns. The mosquitoes are lured close to the trap, where they are quietly vacuumed into a capture net and exterminated. Built using a high-performance plastic and a sturdy base to provide strength and durability, the trap is suitable for all outdoor conditions, including harsh weather elements.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Still hoping it works…
I really want this to work because I want an alternative to the propane-driven units tyhat seem to fail shortly after the warranty runs out. (Our experience with 3 of them so far.)

But I have also seen more moths, june bugs, etc. than mosquitos being captured by mine. After three weeks I noticed the fan stopped qorking and I found a june bug jamming it. I had to take it apart to clean it out.

Since I was swarmed by mosquitos wile fixing it I’m hopeful that they are now being sucked in! I’ll try it for a few more weeks before giving up.

We bought it somewhere with a no questions 1-year return policy and we’re glad for that. Interesting that that place has now stopped selling it…

1 Star Don’t waste your money
Fortunately for me this was a gift…as it does nothing to get rid of mosquitos, especially not an 80% reduction as claimed. Makes a great moth catcher however.

4 Stars A miracle machine for us in Florida
I work in my garage a lot and the mosquitos this year have been driving me absolutely crazy. I got sick of covering myself in deet, burning mosquito coils and citronella. So I thought I would give the Malibu low voltage mosquito sentinel 360 a try.

Well, it has made a world of difference for us. I haven’t used any deet and the garage only sees mosquitos just occasionally. I check the bag in the machine often and always see mosquitos in the bag. It’s nice to work in the garage again without being swarmed by mosquitos.

3 Stars It does make an impact
My wife is a mosquito magnet. My daughter loves the outdoors. The intersection of those two points brought me to the Sentinel 360. I installed one of these in our backyard, and it definitely sucks up the bugs. The majority of the bugs that I regularly emptied from its sack were moths. There were definitely mosquitos in with them, but I didn’t really stop to compare quantities caught. The instructions recommend installing the unit 50′-70′ away from where people will be. This is presumably to draw the bugs to the unit and away from the populated area. This wasn’t too practical in my yard, so it’s about 10′ away from our deck. It seems to work OK, but I’m not sure I’d buy it again, unless the price was right.

1 Star Mosquito Sentinel bombs out
I live in the foothills of Central California. I’ve had this product for almost a month now, and so far it mostly catches moths. In fact, I can be in my garden in the early evening and the mosquitos are having a feast…on me! I still have to wear repellent to work outside. What is the point of spending so much money on a product that doesn’t work. Wish I could get my money back.
