Patented Counterflow Technology

How the Mosquito Magnet

®

 Works

Mosquitoes and other biting insects use the long-range
attractant carbon dioxide (CO

2

) to locate people. Once in

close proximity, mosquitoes use short-range attractants
such as scents emitted from the skin, to determine which
person they are going to bite. The Mosquito Magnet

®

mimics a human by converting propane to CO

2

, with its

patented catalytic conversion technology, in combination
with a short-range attractant.

Attracted by the CO

2

 and short-range attractant,

mosquitoes and other biting insects are drawn to
the Mosquito Magnet

®

. When they reach the trap,

the insects are vacuumed into a bug bag by our
patented Counterflow Technology™, where they
dehydrate and die within 24 hours.

The Mosquito Magnet

®

 is silent, odorless and runs 24/7.

When properly placed in your yard, the 

trap begins

working immediately. Noticeable results can be
achieved in 7 to 10 days.

 To greatly reduce your biting

insect population, allow 4 weeks. Leave the Mosquito
Magnet

®

 out all summer long, to control the mosquito

population in your yard.

Only biting insects are targeted including mosquitoes,
no-see-ums, black flies and midges. Beneficial insects
such as butterflies, bees or moths are not targeted.
