Not sure how long it will last
Fan seems a bit clunky and the unit is plastic, will have to see how it lasts. Hasn't been run through a summer yet so hard to comment on effectiveness. Hopefully will work well as it has a large catcher for insects

Not Suitable for our needs
We returned the product because it attracted enormous amount of flying insects and trapped not a single one.

At a glance
The Skeeter Hawk Area Mosquito Trap is a mid-range outdoor bug zapper for households wanting fewer mosquitoes around patios, pool areas and larger backyards. Its dual-band LED UV light, 360-degree grid and quiet fan make it suited to entertaining spaces. The lightweight design is easy to place away from seating. A limitation is that it needs regular weekly emptying in peak insect seasons.
What it’s great for
- Outdoor entertaining
- Mosquito control around seating areas
- Patio use
- Poolside use
- Backyard pest reduction
Where it works best
- Patios
- Pool areas
- Large backyards
- Outdoor dining spaces
- Garden entertaining zones
Who it’s for
- Households
- Outdoor entertainers
- Families with backyards
- Homeowners wanting fewer flying pests
- People hosting gatherings outdoors
Things to consider
It is designed for general outdoor insect reduction rather than premium, specialist mosquito control systems, and the removable trap bin should be emptied weekly during spring and summer.
Outdoor area suitability
Best for patios, pool areas and large backyards
Pet & kid safety score
5/10 - Better placed away from play and seating areas because it uses an electrical grid to zap insects.
Energy efficiency
6/10 - LED UV lighting supports lower-energy attraction, but no quantified power-use figure is provided.
Ease of maintenance
7/10 - The removable trap bin is easy to empty, but weekly cleaning is recommended during spring and summer.
Key benefits
- Dual-band LED UV light: Helps attract mosquitoes, moths, gnats and similar flying insects into the trap.
- 360-degree electrical grid: Delivers all-over zapping coverage so insects can be caught from multiple approach angles.
- Quiet fan system: Supports lower-noise operation that is better suited to outdoor entertaining areas.
- Lightweight build: Easier to move into position around patios, pools and backyard zones.
- Foldaway handle and hook: Makes it simpler to carry, hang or place the unit away from seating and entry points.
- Removable trap bin: Allows straightforward weekly emptying to maintain catch space and airflow.
- Outdoor area focus: Designed to help draw insects away from where people relax during gatherings.
Q: Does this mosquito trap need sprays, gas bottles or refill cartridges?
A: No. It uses dual-band LED UV light and a 360-degree electrical grid, so there are no sprays, gas bottles or cartridges to replace. It does need mains power, and it works by attracting flying insects into the trap.
Q: Where should I place it for the best mosquito catch outdoors?
A: Place it away from seating and entry points so it draws insects away from where people gather. The lightweight body and foldaway handle or hook make it easier to move or hang around a patio, pool area or backyard as needed.
Q: Will it catch moths and gnats as well as mosquitoes?
A: Yes. The dual-band LED UV light is designed to lure mosquitoes, moths, gnats and similar flying insects into the trap. It is intended for airborne pests in outdoor areas, not crawling insects on surfaces or pests hidden in soil.
Q: Is the Skeeter Hawk trap noisy during outdoor entertaining?
A: Skeeter Hawk 42101 uses a quiet fan system, so it suits patios and outdoor meals where constant fan noise would be distracting. Some operating sound is still normal at close range because it is an electric insect trap, not a passive lantern.
Q: Can I hang this trap instead of sitting it down?
A: Yes. A foldaway handle and hook are included, so it can be hung or repositioned to suit the space. It still needs a mains-powered spot, and hanging it away from the main seating area is the more practical setup for outdoor use.
