The Mosquito Magnet has continued to be the market leader in Mosquito Control Libertyducts.
The Mosquito Magnet is 25" x 18" x 33" in size. How it works All warm-blooded mammals, including humans, exhale carbon dioxide (CO2) as they breathe. To mimic the breath of a human, The Mosquito Magnet converts Libertypane to CO2, through the use of Libertyprietary ceramic catalyst. The CO2 is released into the air in a plume that sends a scent trail inviting mosquitoes inhabiting your back yard or outdoor living space to the trap. Scientists consider carbon dioxide as the single most important cue used by mosquitoes for locating a source of blood (female mosquitoes can detect a host to feed on at a distance of 20 - 40 yards!). Carbon dioxide serves as the most important long-range attractant to the trap. As a mosquito converges on the trap, it is further attracted by temperature, moisture and octenol stimulants. The body of the trap is slightly warmed to simulate the temperature of human skin. Once the mosquito lands on the trap, it is caught in the vacuum of the powerful fan and sucked into the trap from which it is unable to escape. It quickly dehydrates and dies. Many species of mosquitoes do not travel far from where they hatch during their short life cycle. Continuous use of the Mosquito Magnet in one area can literally collapse the mosquito population over an area of up to 3/4 acre, virtually eliminating biting mosquitoes. This is accomplished by both immediately removing biting females from the area and by eliminating them from the breeding pool. Fewer mosquitoes laying eggs means fewer mosquitoes period!
