Spartan Mosquito Eradicator

While the Spartan Eradicators are relatively easy to use, you must follow all instructions carefully. The manufacturer lists precise ways to hang the eradicators so that they are most effective in attracting mosquitoes. To get started, all you will need to do is add water to the tubes to activate the mixture. After hanging, you will only need to check the tubes every few days to maintain the appropriate water level.

The Spartan Mosquito Eradicator is a uniquely safe option when compared to other systems. Spartan does not use any harsh chemicals to kill mosquitoes. Instead, the bait mixture is composed of salt, sugar, and yeast. The mixture releases the same attractants that lure mosquitoes to people. No poisons or chemicals release into the air, unlike several other mosquito control options.

Due to the absence of insecticides and pesticides, Spartan Eradicators are quite safe. Not only do they not emit chemicals, they only contain a mixture of salt, sugar, yeast, and water. So, you will not have to worry about polluting the air or exposing family and pets to unnecessary poisons.

Some insect repellent methods require extra preparation or the installation of devices. Spartan Mosquito Eradicators only need to be filled with water and hung from a tree to start working. When the tubes arrive, fill them with water and shake well so that the sugar, salt, and yeast mixture is activated. You will need to locate an appropriate spot to hang the tubes per the manufacturer’s instructions. Ideal locations are in the shade, under a tree, and approximately six feet above the ground. Be sure to read the instructions thoroughly, as the Eradicator’s effectiveness is heavily reliant on proper hanging and location.

A lot of insect control methods require daily spraying, charging, or battery changes. Candles would need to be lit and may only last a few hours. The Eradicators last up to ninety days before needing to be replaced and work continuously up until that point. Nothing would need to plug in or be changed out every day. Once filled with water, the manufacturer recommends checking the water levels every few days to make sure the tubes are not empty or overflowing. When a set of tubes reaches ninety days of use, throw them away and replace them with a refresh pack which includes two new tubes.

Bug zappers and poisons often kill harmless insects that benefit the ecosystem. Moths and fireflies are essential sources of food for many animals that help to keep our ecosystems in balance. Spartan Mosquito Eradicators specifically target mosquitos, which helps to reduce the unnecessary killing of beneficial insects. Some reviewers did report that the holes in the tubes were large enough that other insects were getting inside and dying, but this was minimal. Tubes could be inspected every few days when checked for water level maintenance.

The Spartan Mosquito Eradicators are a safe, great alternative to many other types of mosquito repellent. By only targeting mosquitoes, they will allow the ecosystem to continue to benefit from harmless insects. The mosquitoes feed on the water solution inside the Eradicator tubes and then fly away to perish before they can breed any more.

Numerous reviewers saw vast improvements within a few days with many reporting that they did not see any bites or mosquitoes after hanging the tubes. Be sure to note that the tubes are not traps, and you will probably see very few dead mosquitoes inside.

Spartan Mosquito Eradicator tubes should be placed in the far corners of your yard away from your home and family activity areas. While there are no harsh chemicals to worry about, the tubes do attract mosquitoes to their location. Take care to hang the tubes a distance from popular areas of your yard to prevent mosquitoes from being lured directly to you. After receiving the tubes, fill them with water up to the fill line and shake vigorously to mix in the sugar, salt, and yeast mixture. Be sure to hang the tubes, preferably in a tree, about six feet above the ground. Spartan suggests hanging the Eradicator close to the trunk of a tree so that it is protected from the sun and heavy rains. When hung under a tree, the tubes will collect rainwater and replace any that had previously evaporated. Hanging them under a tree also prevents the water in the tubes from evaporating too quickly. This will lessen the maintenance that you will need to provide. A few reviewers did mention that squirrels are prone to chew holes in the tubes. Be aware that if you live in an area with numerous squirrels, this could be an issue you face with this product. Be sure to read all instructions that are provided by the manufacturer to ensure the best possible efficiency.

We highly recommend deploying Spartan Mosquito Repellent before mosquito season begins, so you can catch hunting mosquitoes before they have a chance to breed near your property. If used annually around the same time, it can become a continuous mosquito control system to create a barrier of protection for your home.

Spartan Mosquito Eradicator Vs. Summit 110-12 Mosquito Dunks

Both of these products work to control the mosquito population around your home. While the Spartan Eradicators lure adult mosquitoes to consume a mixture that eventually kills them, Summit Mosquito Dunks kill mosquito larvae in standing water. The mosquito dunks go in any standing water near the home that might have mosquito larva. The dunks contain bacteria that are toxic only to mosquitoes. While the Eradicators last for about ninety days, the Summit Dunks last for at least thirty days.

Spartan Mosquito Eradicator Vs. Summit Responsible Solutions Mosquito Bits

The Eradicator and Summit Mosquito Bits both kill and specifically target mosquitoes. However, the Summit Mosquito Bits are intended to be sprinkled in standing water to eliminate mosquito larvae. The bits are made up of BTI, a bacteria known to be toxic only to mosquitoes. The Eradicators kill adult mosquitoes, but they also last up to ninety days. The Summit Mosquito Bits are only active for about two weeks but are highly effective during this time. The Summit Bits can also be used to control fungus gnat larvae as well.

Spartan Mosquito Eradicator Vs. Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller

The Eradicator and Thermacell Patio Shield will both work to reduce mosquito bites. While the Eradicators kill mosquitoes after they ingest the liquid, the Thermacell repels mosquitoes from a designated area. The Thermacell uses repellent cartridges to eliminate mosquitoes from a fifteen-foot radius. Eradicators are effective for larger areas and more extended periods. The Thermacell Patio Shield might be active faster and better used for smaller spaces where you plan to be like patios and decks.
