Dynatrap DT-2000- XL Review
We review products independently, but when you purchase through links on this page we may receive a small commission.
As you might guess from the "XL", this model is the high-capacity, wide-range model of the popular Dynatrap line of mosquito traps.
The 2000 XL is twice the size of the popular DT 1000 series. With brighter bulbs, a larger catch container and a more powerful fan, the Dynatrap DT-2000-XL provides heavy-duty insect control for areas up to a full acre in size.
The 2000 uses the same technology as the popular Dynatrap 1000 series. It also features several minor design improvements, including one we particularly like: a damper which closes when the unit is turned off to prevent recently-captured insects from escaping (an annoying problem with dry-capture mosquito traps.)
Details:
| Attractant(s) Used: | Light, heat, and a patented titanium dioxide coating which generates CO2 (Carbon dioxide) without the need for propane or CO2 gas cylinders. |
|---|---|
| Capture method(s): | A quiet but powerful fan sucks insects into the trap's dry-catch container. |
| Additional features: | Damper closes when machine is powered off to prevent "escapees." As long as you wait a while after you turn off the fan, this won't be a problem. Protective screen between the bulbs and the fan. Comes with 2 UV bulbs (approx. 4000 hours) and a cleaning brush. Available in basic black or hunter green. One year warranty. |
| Price range: | $165-$199 |
| Supplies needed: | Light bulbs. |
| Cost of supplies: | Replacement bulbs are around $13 for a package of two. |
| User feedback: | Very good - this is a bestselling item. |
| Comments: | Powerful trap, several improvements over the original DT1000. Bulbs should last a couple of months, but you might want to keep a couple extra on hand just in case. The DynaTrap is one of our top mosquito control picks! |
