What Customers Are Saying About Mosquito TNT 2.0
It Actually Works
Customers consistently tell us that Mosquito TNT 2.0 delivers results they haven't seen from other methods — candles, zappers, or sprays used alone. The most common theme across reviews: noticeable reduction in mosquito presence within the first few days of use.
Safe for the Whole Family
Parents and pet owners make up a large portion of our customer base — and the ingredient list is a major reason they choose Mosquito TNT 2.0. Yeast, sugar, baking soda, citric acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate. That's it.
Simple to Set Up and Maintain
No cords, no complicated assembly. Customers appreciate that setup takes minutes, and one refill lasts up to 30 days. Many customers say they simply set it and forget it — and come back to find it doing its job.

Not only seeing less mosquitoes but also less flies.
I live next to a creek in NC and for the past 8 years have not been able to enjoy the outside at any point during spring to fall. Getting covered in bug spray was the only option. We've tried something different every year and never any success. I forget where these popped up online but gave them a shot a few months ago and I'm not sure why they are not everywhere. Every trap has been filled and haven't gotten bit once this year.
This is my second year using these mosquito traps and they are amazing! This year I got them out in early spring when we felt the first few mosquitoes coming out and we haven't felt any sense. The cups are full already and they have only been out for a couple weeks! They dried up fast with the sunny days but since they were not very long I added some water and they are still working great! I highly recommend these they work really, really well! Seriously I live out in the woods and there are no mosquitoes around the house or the work garage. Last year was the first year I used them. One week my son said he couldn't work out by the garage cuz he was getting chewed alive. I put the cups out in a week later he told me the cups worked amazing and there were no mosquitoes at all out there. So much more enjoyable to be out in the yard since we found tougher than Tom's mosquito cups.
Less than a week up, in less than optimal mosquito weather, the few that are out have found the bait. Of the three I see up, only one caught mosquitos, the one nearest the trees. The two out in the open were empty, which have now been mover to areas of trees and bushes.
Seems to work really well for the little bugs in general. At least in my area got tons and tons of flies, also got some wasps, bees, and other flying insects.
Didnt really sift through the bugs to see if there were mosquitos. But gonna keep using them for this reason and hopefully mosquitoes are getting caught too.
I live in Ohio and right now It’s pretty humid here. I purchased the four pack and using two of them, one in a pine tree and one in a cherry tree close to my patio. I was skeptical, I’m glad I purchased it. I haven’t had any problems with mosquitoes. This product works very well. You won’t be disappointed in your purchase.
We live in a heavily wooded neighborhood in Alabama and are eaten alive by mosquitoes every summer. We hung up 4 canisters and here is what they have stopped in just two weeks.
We can enjoy our back porch and garden area with the kids without smelling like bug spray all the time. We’re looking forward to the summer now. Thank you from our whole family!
These are great! I’ve got the whole yard covered with the 4 jars and they blend in so well that you don’t even notice them. No smell, no flame, no stuff sprayed everywhere. It was simple to prep with just warm water and a spoon to stir the mixture. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and best of all, now we can hang out in the back yard in the evenings and not get eaten alive!
I have tried everything under the sun to stop mosquitoes from terrorizing me and my family. Since I have been using Mosquitoes TNT 2.0 we have been able to enjoy our patio with not a mosquitoes insight or bite. For this I am truly grateful.
I hung my tougher than Tom t. NT mosquito traps about a week ago I actually use 6 to cover a one acre area and every single 1 of them is catching the little black flies and mosquitoes we live in a marshy area, and I am extremely happy with the way that tougher than Tom's T. N. T. Works.. Although it is not complete mosquito season yet.Here , i'm confident that your product will do the job. I am so looking forward to being able to enjoy my yard.Thanks to you guys.
Just as I thought we were going to get into mosquito weather, we had a lot of rain so still waiting to see if it’s going to work here. Last year, my grandson in a period of a half an hour got like 50 bites on his leg so we’re hoping that when he comes to visit us again this summer we don’t have the same issue. Won’t know until we hit our hot Fresno weather.
With all of the diseases that mosquitoes 🦟 carry, I wanted to help make sure that my husband and I were safe from them. The set up was simple and I can’t wait to use the backyard and not worry about them!
These have not captured any mosquitoes and the fluid molded in less than a week. We set over 8 of them around our yard and they all have mold on the surface now.
As of August 2026, Tougher Than Tom started sending out an ineffective bait product that is clearly different than their previous bait products. I received my refill order and the ingredients were crystal clear (rather than than the murky yellow it usually is) and was clumpy rather than like sand. It also was sent without the original branding box and arrived in a mesh baggy. It was clearly a different product I was sent and has does not work at all for mosquitos.
After contacting support and describing the situation, they refunded a portion of my money and agreed the product was different. No timeline was given on the restock of the original product.
What is concerning is that they sent out a product that is clearly offer not correct and could not answer why they sent it anyway and then went out of stock nearly instantly after. In my opinion, they knowingly sent a fake product given they did not have any actual product available.
Beware of quality control and lack of transparency.
Entire top of liquid turned to mold and no mosquitoes in there. Still have mosquitoes. None of the traps have caught any. All starting to turn to mold. The $50 would be better spent on bug repellent to keep the mosquitoes away. Please honor your money back guarantee. Please let me know if you need additional information to process the refund.
It has not worked at all, it’s been in for 11 days I have given it plenty of time to work as the instruction state…the ones that don’t even come with the product you have to look them up, I’m sitting here now still swarmed in mosquitos, the traps have not caught a single one of them….i could not be any more unhappy with this product.
I'm not sure you can help us get rid of the mosquitos. They love my husband's O positive blood and go after him the minute he steps out of the door.
We did everything according to directions. The containers were full of all kinds of little flying bugs but not necessarily mosquitos. We still had them coming after us.
The 2nd batch was mixed and hung only 2 weeks later.
This seemed to be going better. It was in triple digits and the water quickly evaporated. More water was added. We didn't get many bugs. It's monsoon season and we had a good storm. Not many bugs out.
However, after the rain they seemed to be after us again this morning. It's only been a week since we hung the jars with liquid in them. I don't think we can afford to be replacing the mixture every couple of weeks. I'm also not certain that we will be purchasing anymore.
Thank you for the hope that we could overcome the nasty little blood suckers! If you do have a suggestion we will follow-through to see if it helps. Ron & Cathy
The traps have been in use for two weeks. I understand it may take a little bit longer to address the mosquito problem. So at this time, I don’t have a definitive answer with regard to my level of satisfaction. I’ll continue to replace each month in hopes of addressing the problem.
We have set two out. One has a wasp in it and the other if completely full of mold. Not one mosquito has been caught and we have a lot right now with recent rain.
I followed the instructions. The only thing I got was mold growing in them. Maybe caught a few mosquitoes but mostly just smelled yeasty and molded. I had them about 6’ off the ground in the shade.
Terrible product, haven't caught one mosquito,You're advertisement seemed really great. I was very excited thinking this was going to solve my problem. You can imagine how upset it made me when it caught not one mosquito so far. The first night I got these I put one trap out, the one hanging above the flowers, after 2 days and it had not caught any mosquitoes, I put out the other three thinking maybe I did something wrong when mixing them up. they were all mixed by the directions and they have all been put in places where they're not in direct sunlight and where mosquitoes are active.
I was really skeptical about this product as so many others don’t work. I have 1/2 acre of land and lots of water features including a pond. I also have neighbors who have tall weeds in their back yards and we also have lots of woods around us. So you can imagine the mosquitoes we have.
Well this stuff works. Now it took about a week to really start working but it does work. I can now enjoy sitting out at night and early in the mornings for my coffee! I will be purchasing refills!
I put seven traps as instructed around my yard…in the shade. Within a thick layer of mold formed & no mosquitoes caught. Sorry to say this was a big waste of money.
Unfortunately, your product did not prove to be effective and just turned into a moldy substance which drained to eles than half of the original amount of water poured in.
We put these up about an hour ago and normally at this time of night at 8:20 PM, it is impossible to sit out back due to the mosquitoes. I was just getting eaten alive last night. I can’t believe these could have possibly worked this fast so maybe it’s just a weird coincidence but I honestly feel like we’re noticing a difference an hour into the evening. If this is like this for 30 days, I will sign up for a continuous shipment month after month.
Update: 9:35pm the mosquitos have rolled in. We’ll see what 24 hours does. Stay tuned…
I originally messaged because I did not receive any funnel ears with my order. When I reached out to customer service they only sent 1. I reached out again and never heard another word. Crickets.
My understanding is I need at least 4. I ordered the three month supply and if my calculations are correct I should have received at least 12 funnel ears.
I really wanted it to work because i can’t enjoy my yard in summer times. But it obviously doesn’t work for me. I stayed only 10minutes outside. And i have almost 10 bites on my arm and 2 on the other one.
I’m really disappointed.
This product does NOT work as promised. I have had this placed in a very active mosquito area for almost 2 weeks and as you can tell, there is hardly any insects in it. I will be requesting a refund as I feel it is not performing as sold and advertised.
Is Mosquito TNT 2.0 safe around children and pets?
Yes — Mosquito TNT 2.0 is safe around kids and pets when used as directed. The formula uses five ingredients: yeast, D-glucose (sugar), sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), citric acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Follow label instructions and keep the trap positioned out of reach of very young children.
How long does Mosquito TNT 2.0 last?
One refill cycle lasts up to 30 days. Refill packs are available separately, keeping the ongoing monthly cost low. For best results, hang the trap in a shaded spot — direct sunlight reduces the effectiveness of the CO2 reaction.
Where does Mosquito TNT 2.0 work best?
Customers use it successfully on patios, decks, in backyards, and in garden areas. Placement matters more than location: position the trap between the direction mosquitoes are coming from and where you sit. For yards near wooded areas or water, units distributed at different entry points along the perimeter work better than a single central placement. For more details on getting the most out of your trap, see our guide onhow to keep mosquitoes away from your patio or our fullbackyard mosquito control guide.
What's the difference between Mosquito TNT 2.0 and other mosquito products?
Mosquito TNT 2.0 is a passive CO2 trap — it works continuously without requiring you to be present or to apply anything to your skin. It complements rather than replaces personal repellent spray or UV lamps. TheTougher Than Tom Mosquito Eliminator Spray protects your skin directly, and theMosquito Eliminator Lamp adds a layer for evening and nighttime use. Many customers use all three as part of a layered system.
