HOW IT WORKS
Our Patented CounterflowTM Technology is based on the key finding that mosquitoes are
drawn to the CO2 that humans exhale, and to the subtle skin scents which help
mosquitoes locate their target at close range. 18 years of research and independent testing
has enabled us to create a trap that releases these compounds in the precise balance
attractive to mosquitoes. MOSQUITO MAGNET® Patriot begins catching immediately.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

• What Attracts Mosquitoes?
Only female mosquitoes bite, using the protein from the blood to reproduce. Mosquitoes
are attracted to the combination of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), moisture & heat (human
breath). An additional attractant for mosquitoes is the scent of human skin.
• How Does It Work?
− The Mosquito Magnet® Patriot trap mimics a human’s breath by converting
propane to carbon dioxide (CO2) which is mixed with heat & moisture through a
patented catalytic conversion process.
− The patented Counterflow™ Technology then expels a silent, odourless plume of
CO2which lures the mosquitoes to the trap.
− As mosquitoes approach in search of a human, they are caught in a vacuum which
draws them into the trap’s bug bag.
− Within 24 hours the mosquitoes dehydrate and die
− The self-contained bug bag eliminates the need to touch mosquitoes. Replace
your bug bag every 21 days or sooner to maximize air flow.
− Your propane tank will last 21 days.
− Use your Mosquito Magnet® Quick Clear Cartridge to clear the gas nozzle after
every tank change. Without this proprietary feature the nozzle might be prone to
clog due to contaminants in the propane.
Note: Through scientific testing Mosquito Magnet Patriot has discovered & patented
the precise formula of CO2, heat and moisture to attract mosquitoes.

Mosquito Magnet®Patriot
Page 7 of 23
• Where Should I Place My Trap?
Place your trap upwind 9-12 m (30-40 ft.), within 1.5-1.8 m (5-6 ft) of mosquito habitat
(standing water, bushes, flowerbeds, treeline, marshbed, etc.). It is recommended that
the trap be placed in the shade.

How the Mosquito Magnet® Patriot Works
Mosquitoes use the long-range attractant carbon dioxide (CO2) to locate people. Once in
close proximity, mosquitoes use short-range attractants such as scents emitted from the
skin, to determine which person they are going to bite. The Mosquito Magnet Patriot
mimics a human by converting propane to CO2, with its patented catalytic conversion
technology, in combination with a short-range attractant.
Attracted by the CO2 and short-range attractants, mosquitoes are drawn to the Mosquito
Magnet Patriot. When they reach the trap, mosquitoes are vacuumed into a bug bag by
our patented Counterflow Technology™, where they dehydrate and die within 24 hours.
The Mosquito Magnet Patriot is silent and odorless. When properly placed in your yard,
the trap begins working immediately. The Mosquito Magnet Patriot only targets
mosquitoes, not beneficial insects such as butterflies, bees or moths.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Schedule

Mosquito Magnet®Patriot
Page 19 of 23
• 21 Day Maintenance Cycle -Refill propane. (Propane lasts approximately 21 days with
24-hour/7-days operation.)
-Replace short-range attractant cartridge. See Mosquito Magnet® Octenol Mosquito
Attractant label for instructions
-Empty or replace bug bag.
-Utilize the Quick Clear adapter at every tank change.
• Periodically wipe down the outside of the trap with a clean, water damp cloth.
Propane Tank Changing Tips
When attaching the regulator knob to a tank after a tank change, be sure to fully tighten
the regulator knob onto the tank. No need to use tools, but do turn the knob as far as
possible by hand. When this is done, loosen the knob 1/4 turn, then re-tighten to
maximize seal.
The purpose for this is to fully engage the regulator onto the tank. If the regulator is not
fully engaged, the flow of gas may be restricted to the point where the trap will show a
gas empty code. If this occurs, press the off button, close the tank valve, and remove
regulator from the tank. Re-attach the regulator and try again.
