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 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 scent.
Attracted by the CO
2
and short-range scents,
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.
