Technical Specs

The Mosquito Magnet® Defender is designed for the homeowner with a smaller yard at a more affordable price.

Here's why Mosquito Magnets work: They act just like you!

Mimicking human breath, our patented, scientifically-proven Counterflow Technologyª, emits a warm, moist carbon dioxide plume combined with environmentally safe Octenol bait - tested by the USDA and Center for disease control.

Blood seeking insects from over an acre away - depending on the model chosen - are attracted and follow the plume. As the biting insects approach the Mosquito Magnet (instead of your family), they are vacuumed into a net where they dehydrate and die. Operating day and night, your resident biting bug population is controlled as egg-laying females are destroyed interrupting the blood sucking pests life cycle.

Mosquito Magnets also effectively control the carriers of West Nile Virus and other diseases, along with salt marsh mosquitoes, no-see-ums and all active biters during daylight hours as well as those that take over your yard at dawn dusk and the evening - always effectively working without using any harmful poisonous sprays.

Mosquito Magnet Trap Placement

Note: The Mosquito Magnet® begins catching immediately; allow 4-6 weeks to greatly reduce biting insect population.

Proper placement of your Mosquito Magnet® is crucial to its success. If placed correctly the mosquitoes will be drawn to the Mosquito Magnet® instead of you.

You should begin noticing results in 7-10 days. After 4-6 weeks of continuous use, the female mosquitoes that live in and around your yard will be captured, thereby reducing the mosquito population. After this happens you will begin to see a reduction in your mosquito catch.

For best results, use the following guidelines for proper placement:

Determine where the mosquitoes are breeding. - The Mosquito Magnet must be located between the breeding areas (standing water, bushes) and the 'people areas' (patio, deck) in order to capture the mosquitoes at their source, BEFORE they get to you. Place the trap 30-40 feet away from people areas. - Place the trap as close to the breeding area and as far away from the activity as possible. 30-40 feet is enough distance from the activity so the biting insects will be attracted to the trap and not to you. Place the trap upwind from the mosquito breeding area. - Mosquitoes fly upwind looking for a blood meal (you). After a female mosquito bites a human, its weight is doubled; the mosquito will float back downwind to the resting area. Place trap in an open area, not in high grass or plants. - CO2 is heavier than air, therefore it stays close to the ground. The mosquitoes will follow the CO2 plume to the trap. If its placed in high grass the flow of the plume will be impeded and the mosquitoes won't find it...they'll find you! Place the trap in the shade. - Mosquitoes don't like the heat of the direct sun. As the sun sets, mosquitoes come out of their resting places.
