Mosquito Magnet Offers a Long-Term Solution

LITITZ, Pa.  – Mosquito Magnet, a biting insect trap, offers a long-term solution to reduce mosquitoes and biting insects from yards.

Mosquitoes are attracted to exhaled carbon dioxide, the warmth of breath and the scent of skin. Mosquito Magnet’s Patriot Plus uses propane mixed with a second attractant, octenol, to mimic human scents and to draw the mosquitoes to the trap. Once they come close, Mosquito Magnet’s CounterFlow Technology draws the pests into a net where they will dehydrate and die. This process is intended to disrupt mosquito breeding cycles to eliminate the nuisance in the yard all season long.

“The Mosquito Magnet Patriot Plus is the mosquito trap of choice for homeowners and commercial businesses, said Rob Scott, category development manager for Woodstream Corp. “It’s easy to set up and maintain, while providing a safe way to keep these pests at bay so you can enjoy your summer.”

Mosquito Magnet not only attracts and kills mosquitoes - it also helps to limit their re-population, the company reports. Mosquito Magnet attempts to disrupt the breeding cycle of mosquitoes by specifically targeting females, causing their population to dwindle over time.
