Co2 Mosquito Traps - Mosquito
Killing System
Our mosquito trap,
the Mosquito Killing System (MKS) uses
Co2 and
electricity
to provide a heat source that attracts mosquitoes like a
magnet and
kills them. Our Mosquito Killing System is more
effective
than other mosquito traps, because it uses CO2 AND
a vacuum to
pull the mosquitoes into the unit.
Here is a
comparison chart of various co2 mosquito traps,
propane traps, electric mosquito traps, and the
industrial bug zapper.

How
our mosquito trap works:
New
and improved, the Mosquito Killing System (MKS)
uses the mosquito’s natural hunting techniques of
heat sensing and carbon
dioxide detection.
The unit mimics the body temperatures and breathing
patterns of humans, livestock, poultry, and
domesticated pets. The photocell
powers up the MKS, beginning the cycle of mimicking
body heat and respiration. The MKS simulates
the breathing of warm-blooded mammals by the
release of carbon dioxide in 5 hour
intervals.
Every 6 to 9 minutes the MKS cycles through various
temperatures to attract the mosquito.
Through
thermal
imagery,
and the release
of CO2
the mosquito is attracted to the unit. Once inside
the unit, the fan/vacuum
forces the mosquito through the
machine.
Mosquitoes are killed
when they pass through the electrocution
grid.
The remains are then expelled through the bottom of
the unit and returned to the environment.
Why is the use
of electricity, heat and Co2 so effective?
Our
mosquito trap uses heat and carbon dioxide (Co2) to
mimic the breathing patterns and body temperatures
of humans, livestock, poultry, and domesticated
pets every 6 to 9 minutes. Electricity is used to
power the unit to avoid the odor associated with
propane.
Will the
mosquito trap kill any other insects?
Yes, the
traps are also effective for other insects that are
attracted to heat and Co2, including
No-See-Ums, gnats and biting flies.
How is the
vacuum/fan used?
The
mosquito trap attracts the mosquitoes with the CO2
and infrared light, then vacuums them into the unit
where they are quickly and quietly
eliminated.
Does the
mosquito trap run all the time?
The
Mosquito Killing System is equipped with a
photocell that turns the unit on at dusk thru dawn,
making it energy efficient.
Are chemicals
used?
Self-cleaning,
safe and quiet, the Mosquito Killing System is the
most effective way to combat your existing mosquito
problem without the need for potentially harmful
pesticides or chemicals. In addition, the MKS does
not attract beneficial insects, which are good for
the environment.
Is the Mosquito
Killing System expensive to use?
No, CO2 and
electricity are the only expenses to run the unit.
Costs for each of these vary by market and are
similar to most household appliances.
Does the
placement of the MKS affect the results?
Yes,
mosquitoes look for the easiest source of heat and
Co2, so the closer to the source of the mosquitoes,
the better it works.
Is it possible
to control mosquitoes in an area?
Yes,
studies have shown that 90% of the biting
mosquitoes live within 100 yards of where they
hatch. The MKS is effective up to one acre
coverage.
Where can I fill
up the carbon dioxide (co2) tank?
The MKS
uses a standard 20 lb. Co2 tank. The tank used by
the MKS is the same tank used extensively in the
beverage industry. Because Co2 is non-flammable,
non-explosive, and non-toxic it is easy to store
and transport. To find a Co2 refill source near
you, try looking in the Yellow pages under "Medical
& Industrial Gases."
Is there a
warranty?
Our
mosquito trap comes with a one year manufacturers
warranty.
