How does the Mosquito Magnet work?

The Mosquito Magnet is designed to effectively control and eliminate mosquitoes by utilizing a combination of attractants and trapping mechanisms. It works by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide and other attractants that mimic human breath, which draws mosquitoes toward the device. As mosquitoes approach, they are drawn into the trap through a powerful fan, where they become entrained in a net or collection bag. The Mosquito Magnet operates continuously to maintain an effective mosquito elimination zone. The unit often uses propane as a fuel source to produce carbon dioxide, and it may include additional attractants, such as octenol or lactic acid, to enhance its effectiveness. Once in the trap, the mosquitoes are unable to escape and eventually die, thereby reducing the local population over time. For optimal results, it is recommended to position the Mosquito Magnet in a location that allows it to maximize its effectiveness, typically away from areas where people gather. It is essential to keep the unit clean and to replace the attractants as needed to maintain its efficiency.
