Q: How does it work?
A: Female biting insects require blood to nourish their eggs. They get that blood from you, your family, your pets and your friends. They track down hosts by sensing the carbon dioxide (the primary cue), moisture and heat from breath, body odors and color contrasts. SkeeterVac^® mosquito exterminators create a combination of those cues. This tricks the insects into thinking the trap is a host. Once the pests are attracted to the exterminator, they are captured on the sticky trap or sucked into an enclosure by a powerful vacuum fan. Once trapped, they quickly dehydrate and die.

Q: What are the results?
A: When used as directed, SkeeterVac^® mosquito exterminators attract, trap, and kill mosquitoes in the FIRST FEW DAYS OF USE. Quantities of catch vary depending on amount available and setup of the appliance.

• Within a several days, most people notice REDUCTION IN BITING.
• Within weeks the nuisance is normally greatly reduced.

NOTICE: Female mosquitoes usually live for about 4 weeks, laying up to 500 eggs during their lifetime. As a result, it normally takes UP TO 6 WEEKS TO INTERRUPT THE BREEDING CYCLE.

• Comparative - This is about half the typical price of high-speed Internet access.

Q: Why is the unit propane-powered, and why is that important?
A: When clean burning propane is processed through a catalytic combustion system you get warm CO₂ and moisture (mosquito attractants). SkeeterVac mosquito exterminators also use the heat from this process to create electricity so you don’t need batteries or power cords.

Q: Does the unit make a lot of noise or put out bad odors?
A: SkeeterVac^® mosquito exterminators function day-in and day-out without disturbing you. The fan system operates quietly and is difficult to hear from only a few feet away. The odor of the attractants is very difficult to detect.

Q: When do I turn my SkeeterVac^® on and off?
A: SkeeterVac^® mosquito exterminators are designed to operate 24/7 during the mosquito season. The unit should be set up, tested, and placed into continuous operation as soon as mosquitoes become a nuisance. The unit should be shut down only once temperatures are consistently below 50°F.

Results will suffer if the unit -

• Is used only part-time, as you will allow mosquitoes to repopulate

• Is used only during certain hours as different species of mosquito seek blood meals throughout the day and night
