Blue Rhino Skeeter Vac Mosquito Eliminator - CPSV5100 Review
We review products independently, but when you purchase through links on this page we may receive a small commission.
The Skeeter Vac SV5100 offers a combination of proven attractant technologies, dual capture methods and wide area coverage at a great price. Like the other Skeetervac models, the 5100 uses a long-lasting Fine Tune bait which optimizes its output to best match the number and species of mosquitos in your yard. The 5100
runs on Propane alone and requires no electricity.
Supplies are relatively inexpensive, and we've heard great things about their customer service.
The combination of advanced features, moderate price and reputation for good service make the Skeeter vac one of our top picks for mosquito control.

| Comments: | For a smaller, less expensive unit that protects up to 1 acre, see the Skeeter Vac 3100 Important: The optional TacTrap feature can be hazardous to birds and wildlife. SkeeterVac is the only line of traps on the market which use this capture method, and from what we hear it's just as effective without it. We recommend you either don't use it, or that you take precautions to shield the trap from birds. Read more ... |
