General Information
Mosquitoes and biting flies use a combination of sensory signals to locate a warm blooded host including
heat, light, scent, color, shape, motion and other
Your unit duplicates these sensory signals through the use of solid state electronic technology and through esoteric product design.
Mosquitoes and other flying insect pests attracted to the device are drawn into the unit by a special airflow where they dehydrate and die.
A removable “see through” collection tray provides for fast, clean and easy disposal of dead insects.

For best results locate your unit 20 to 40 feet away from areas of human activity in a location near (but not in) bush- es, wooded areas, or adjacent to standing water (other than swimming pools). Select a location which will result in the scented plume blowing toward the area where mosquitoes are likely to hide and emerge. A proper location will ensure that mosquitoes encounter the plume and follow it
