Many people believe that they are immune to diseases caused by Mosquitoes, but do you know that mosquito-related diseases cause thousands of illnesses and deaths each year?
You should always control mosquitoes by clearing breeding grounds such as your home’s surrounding bush, and taking care of the lawn by keeping your grass short, and draining stagnant water.
All the methods mentioned above are short-term, but if you want a long-term, effective, and safe method, the mosquito magnet trap is the best option.

How Does the Mosquito Magnet Trap Work?
Perhaps you’ve tried utilizing mosquito candles or spray repellent to get rid of the problem. While these treatments may temporarily help you get rid of mosquitoes, they are usually ineffective and only work temporarily.
By catching and killing these dangerous bugs, the Mosquito Magnet functions as a mosquito power trap.
- In your yard, set the trap: it should be in the shade and 30 to 40 feet away from humans.
- Traps are converted to CO2 through Trap’s patented process. Mosquitoes are drawn to the trap by CO2 emission.
- Mosquitoes are attracted by secondary attractants combined with CO2: It can be up to 10 times more effective at catching mosquitoes.
- Technology with a patent: Mosquitoes are drawn into the plume and then to the net.
- In the net, mosquitoes dry out and perish: The mosquitoes will dehydrate and die 24 hours after being caught in the net.
- Enjoy a backyard free of mosquitoes: Enjoy the outdoors in new ways.
Process for Killing Mosquitoes using Mosquito Magnet
- Lures
In order to attract mosquitoes to the trap, the Mosquito Magnet continuously releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and an attractant that has been scientifically demonstrated to work.
- Capture
Mosquitoes are pulled into the net using the patented Counter Flow TM Technology, where they perish from dehydration.
- Controls
Scientific research has shown that the Mosquito Magnet can stop mosquito breeding cycles, essentially eradicating the annoyance and risk of mosquitoes in your yard all season.
A System for Capturing Mosquitoes Using Attraction Power
Mosquito Magnet traps operate by luring and catching biting insects that are breeding in your yard, including mosquitoes.
Mosquito Magnet attracts mosquitoes by emitting a constant, odorless stream of carbon dioxide, warmth, and wetness into the air, which mimics the warmth of human breath and the carbon dioxide that humans produce.
The innovative Counter Flow TM mechanism vacuums the mosquitoes into a net after acting as a highly effective and potent mosquito trap. Within 24 hours of being caught, the mosquitoes get stuck and pass away from dehydration.

Will the mosquito magnet trap attract beneficial insects?
The mosquito magnet trap does not attract beneficial insects such as bees, moths, butterflies, and ladybugs.
Blood-sucking insects have receptors in their mouths that sense carbon dioxide. That's why they are attracted to the device.
Non-blood-sucking insects, which are beneficial insects, do not have the receptors to sense carbon dioxide, so they are not attracted to the device.
Where do you place the trap?
Trap placement is critical to your device's performance.
First, determine the direction of the wind and place the trap upwind. The breeze helps distribute CO2 and attractants to the breeding ground.
It should be placed in a shaded area, 30 to 40 feet (10 m) away from people, and in an open space.
The trap runs all weather, but the trap should be kept away from water sources like horses and sprinklers.
Trap placement, assembly, accessories, customer support, and more.
Conclusion:
In contrast to many other kinds of insect repellents, Mosquito Magnet not only draws in and kills mosquitoes but also works to reduce their number after they die.
It has been scientifically demonstrated that Mosquito Magnet prevents mosquitoes from reproducing, which over time reduces the mosquito population.
Choose Mosquito Magnet for your home or property if you want to increase the pleasure of outdoor activities while shielding your family and pets from a mosquito infestation.
