Answer:
-We discussed this earlier and the general conclusions were that these
do not work effectively as they are subject to various issues of which
maintenance is a problem.
Buying any appliance from Harbor Freight is also risky in my opinion.
I did not see a brand name.
-The problem with these is that the mosquitos most commonly found in
Austin, the Asian Tiger, are not attracted to carbon dioxide. I have
several friends with these devices and they have told me that they get
about as many mosquitos in them that they'd expect from randomly
flying into the device. One even called the manufacturer and they
said they knew about the Asian Tiger problem and were working on
something they'd be attracted to, but haven't developed anything yet.
