Tear open one pouch and place it inside the Mosquito TNT trap jar.
Pour in 8oz of warm water (between 105°F and 110°F) to activate the formula.
Mix until fully dissolved, then hang it anywhere mosquitoes lurk—porches, patios, trees, fences, or posts.
It doesn't repel mosquitoes. It outsmarts them.
Mosquitoes hunt by smelling the CO2 you exhale. The bait creates the same scent, but overpowered. They fly to the trap instead of you.
A surfactant breaks the liquid surface tension. When mosquitoes touch it, they sink like quicksand. They can not get out.
One setup runs around the clock for up to 30 days. No batteries. No electricity. No reapplying. Set it and forget it.
Every mosquito trapped is one that can not bite you or lay 500 more eggs. Over time, the population around your yard actually shrinks.
Mosquito TNT is a total game-changer! I can finally enjoy being outside without being swarmed by mosquitoes. These four containers really do the trick at keeping them away.
Evenings used to be a battle. I’d pour a drink, sit on the patio—and five minutes later, I was back inside...

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.
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.
The only thing this has caught so far is a few spiders and MOLD. It’s been in the backyard for 2 weeks now and not a single mosquito has been caught.
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.
After more than a week nothing. They are in my garden which has alot of mosquitoes. I put my Dynatrap beside it and it catches tons.
I ordered (1) unit with (3) refills. I got (4) units and no refills!!!
I haven’t seen mosquitos in the trap but notice a lot of hornets. We’ll see what happens in the fall months.
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 still get attacked by a lot of mosquitos despite sitting between 3 of these which are about 8 feet away.
It caught so many bugs that I am both disgusted and amazed! I will be buying more after enjoying this bug-free backyard cookout!
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.
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 have 4 distributed for 10 days. Not a single bug but mosquitos still flying everywhere. All that happened is this black blob of mold.
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.
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…
Didn't work. Flies? Yes. Ants? Yes. Mosquitoes? NONE. And in live in the country, there's mosquitoes everywhere.
After almost a month and between all three that I put out I maybe caught 5 mosquitoes
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.
The only thing all 4 of my traps are catching is flies and bees. I really had hoped my grandchildren could come and play outside but I still have an infestation. Yes I checked the entire property for standing water. The traps just don't seem to attract an single mosquito.
Maybe it’s because I live in California, where we have a very dry climate. I mixed it well using the amount of water suggested…I bake bread, so I deal with using yeast frequently. Neither units hung in direct sunlight, but the liquid dried very quickly. It did capture some mosquitoes, as well as a few other species, but not enough to make a difference. I have one more packet, which I will try, but I’m not expecting a very different outcome. Best regards, Ron S
2 weeks & all we get is mold
Did not catch a single mosquito, used all 4 and followed directions perfectly and all of them ended up with different color molds. Put in different locations and never did anything. Thought they would work but everyone is still getting eaten up.
My container caught flies and ants, but the mosquitoes remain here biting me. I have my small porch surrounded with these. Apparently I’m more delicious.
We’re greatly impressed with this product. I’ve hung 4 around our 1 acre property and have had virtually zero bugs. It seems to really wreak havoc on black flies, deer and horse flies, and even hornets. The attached picture is after just 3 days. This is in northern Minnesota for reference. We always have mosquitoes and flies. Not anymore!
It definitely works!
No mosquitoes-where did they go? Should I be worried? Nah, not at all. Thanks Tougher Than Tom!
This is my trap one week later. We have a one acre yard in NC foothills. This trap is disgusting and stinks to high heaven. This is the reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I bought refills, but though this thing was supposed to last a month. Should I dump these and rebait? Also, easiest ways to dispose of this ball of bugs (mostly flys, yellow jackets, and mosquitos). So I would say this thing really works, but appears it might work too good and might not last as long as advertised. I really would like to know proven easiest way to dispose of the mess though.
6-26-25. I very rarely leave a review unless it works better than I expect it to. I live next to a swamp and could not go outside as the sun was going down because I would get eaten alive by mosquitoes. I bought these and set 4 of them up around my house and it is insane how well these work. My wife and kids even told me, you actually found something that works. My family was outside until after dark, swimming sitting listening to music and didn’t get bitten at all. It did take a couple weeks after putting them up to really notice so I recommend getting them and setting them up before the mosquitoes really get bad. I will be purchasing these every year now.
After 2 months, I now have my neighbors asking about these little wonders! Very impressed with how well they worked and how long the bait lasts!
Not sure they are working to the full potential. I've only had 3 of them hanging for 5 days. I still have mosquitoes but they are HORRIBLE in Corpus Christi, TX so I'm not sure anything will work. I live in a subdivision on less than .25 acres so I'm hopeful.
Put in my order on Saturday, July 15, 2023, for Mosquito TNT and 3 refills. and received them on Tuesday, July 25. Installed all four buckets on Wednesday, July 26. I am excited to see how they work at killing mosquitos in the yard. I put one on each corner of my yard which covers about .7 acre. I also installed little buckets with water and Mosquito Dunks to kill any larvae. Between the two products, I'm hoping for a mosquito free backyard soon. It has only been a week so I can't really tell if there is a reduction in mosquitos yet. We have had an unusually wet summer so far here in central Maine so lack of a lot of mosquitos may be an indication it is starting to work. Will know more in a few weeks.
