Mosquitoes and other biting insects use the long-range attractant carbon dioxide(CO2)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 CO2, with its patented catalytic conversion technology, in combination with a short-range scent.
Attracted by the CO2 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 TechnologyTM, 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 months are not targeted.
