| How the SkeeterVac Works 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), chemicals, moisture and heat from mammalian 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. Creating Attractants Propane gas is burned in a sealed combustion chamber where it is catalyzed into warm carbon dioxide and water. This precision mixture is exhausted out into the air stream. A unique time-release FineTune® lure at the top of the unit emits a scent that when combined with CO2 increases the attraction power for many species. Different species like different levels of the scent. Only SkeeterVac® mosquito exterminators allow you to vary the amount of attractant to match the species in your backyard. Adjustment is made by simply turning a dial. The SkeeterVac is the result of years of research and development to improve outdoor living, by reducing the amount of biting mosquitoes, midges, and flies. This sophisticated product blends superior mechanical performance with proven scientific evidence in order to effectively attract and kill these blood sucking pests. The SkeeterVac is a commercial grade product targeting the consumer market. Combustion of propane is used to supply energy to a hi-tech, scientifically advanced thermal electric module which provides electricity to the engine fans and attractant lighting system as well as heat to disperse the Octenol biting insect lure . CO2 is a known attractant to mosquitoes, and is naturally created when propane is processed, along with heat and moisture. These are all irresistible cues for biting insects. What makes SkeeterVac different from other systems is the ability to adjust the rate of release of the Octenol biting insect attractant, its use of a UV motion lighting system, and in particular the Flight Guide Tac Trap. The SkeeterVac has been developed with the proven scientific insight of knowing different mosquitoes require different formulations of attractants. By being able to vary the level of octenol dispersed by SkeeterVac, the consumer is able to have a more effective means of reducing the area mosquito population. And after attracting these pests, the scientifically designed and proven Tac Trap will catch up to 100% more biting insects than any competitor's product that uses only vacuum and a catch-net. The SkeeterVac does not need an extension cord or other source of electric power. A 50 liter propane cylinder will last about 40 days. The engine gauge provides an instant visual indication that the unit is operating and assures all components are functioning properly. The FineTune Bait Block is designed to provide up to 60 days of attractant.

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, midges, and biting flies to repopulate. results may also suffer if used only during certain hours, as different species of blood sucking insects feed throughout the day and night |
