These versatile units are perfect for patios, decks, and gardens, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience without the annoyance of pesky insects.

Like the MT-300, the MT-200 also includes a non-clogging grid, ensuring reliable insect control.

Both series feature built-in safety features, including an outer protective mesh, preventing accidental contact with the electric grid. This makes them safe for homes with children and pets. Additionally, these units are environmentally friendly, using no harmful chemicals or sprays, making them suitable for organic gardening and eco-conscious consumers.
