Astricade™ Solar Mosquito Trap

It works over weeks, not overnight. You'll see mosquitoes collecting in the trap within the first week, and it settles into full output over the following few weeks.

A trap is one steady layer of a yard, not an instant fix. It works best hung in the right spot and paired with dumping any standing water nearby — that combination is what makes a yard pleasant to be in again.

If you've given it a fair few weeks and aren't happy, just reach out. We'd rather make it right than have you stuck with something you're not glad you bought.

Yes. No pesticides. No DEET. No fogging. The bait is food-grade — the same sugar and yeast you'd use to bake bread.

Bees and butterflies are drawn to flowers, not CO₂, so they mostly ignore the trap. There's no chemical residue on your grass, no waiting period before kids or pets can be in the yard, and no spray drifting across your garden.

One honest caveat: any passive trap will catch some non-target insects. We can't promise zero, and no one in this category honestly can. But it doesn't broadcast a kill zone the way zappers or sprays do.

About two minutes. One cup of warm water, a quarter cup of sugar, a teaspoon of yeast. Stir until dissolved, pour it into the reservoir, screw the cap back on.

Refresh it when the bubbling stops — that's the trap's own signal that it's ready for a fresh batch. The ingredients are simple pantry staples, so there's nothing special to order and nothing only we can sell you.

So you never have to think about power. No batteries, no plug, no cords, nothing to charge or replace — the panel runs the whole thing on its own, all season.

It also runs a small light at night, which helps catch some of the other flying bugs that drift through the yard after dark. The mosquitoes are drawn by the CO₂, not the light — the light's just a bonus for everything else.

A rough guide based on how customers set them up:

One trap covers a porch, balcony, or small patio. Two cover a deck and one seating area. Four cover a typical suburban backyard — the most common setup. Six suit larger lots, multi-zone properties, or yards backing onto water or woods.

One trap can't cover an acre, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than have you under-deploy. If your property is bigger, the 4-pack or 6-pack is the right starting point.

Astricade is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work out in your yard, email hello@astricade.com within 60 days of delivery and we'll take care of your refund.

We'd rather you give it a fair try, hung in the right spot, before deciding — but if it isn't right for you, reaching out is all it takes.

Almost nothing. The bait is a few pantry ingredients, so after the one-time purchase there's no subscription, no proprietary refill, and no service contract — nothing only we can sell you, month after month.

That's the whole reason it costs so little to own over time: the trap is yours, the recipe is yours, and you're never locked into buying anything again.
