Defender specifications

The Mosquito Magnet Defender is a leading solution in pest control, specifically designed to combat the perennial problem of mosquitoes. This innovative device employs advanced technologies to attract, trap, and eliminate these annoying insects, providing a comfortable outdoor environment for families and pets.

One of the primary features of the Mosquito Magnet Defender is its effective CO2 emission system. This technology mimics human breath by emitting carbon dioxide, which lures mosquitoes into the trap. This mimicking of natural attractants is crucial, as it significantly increases the device's ability to draw mosquitoes from surrounding areas.

The Defender utilizes a patented Octenol attractant, further enhancing its effectiveness. Octenol is a compound found in nature, specifically in plants and fungi, that appeals to various types of biting insects. When combined with CO2, it creates a compelling lure for mosquitoes, ensuring the trap captures a higher number of pests.

Another standout characteristic of the Mosquito Magnet Defender is its powerful vacuum system. Once attracted, mosquitoes are sucked into the device and can no longer escape. This mechanism is efficient and sustainable, allowing homeowners to significantly reduce the mosquito population without resorting to harmful chemicals.

The device boasts a large capacity for trapping and can effectively cover an area of up to one acre, making it suitable for yard use in both residential and commercial settings. The easy-to-empty collection bag ensures that users can maintain the device with minimal effort, allowing for a hassle-free experience.

Additionally, the Mosquito Magnet Defender is built for durability and weather resistance. Constructed with high-quality materials, it withstands various outdoor conditions, ensuring its longevity throughout the seasons.

Powering the Defender is a combination of a rechargeable battery and an AC power option, providing flexibility in placement and operation. Users can choose to place the device in remote areas of their yard or near patios and decks without being tethered to a power outlet.

Overall, the Mosquito Magnet Defender stands out in pest control solutions, with its combination of advanced technologies and user-friendly features. By employing CO2 emission, Octenol attraction, and a robust vacuum trapping system, it offers an effective approach to mosquito management, making outdoor spaces more enjoyable and free from pesky insects.
