Patented Counterow Technology™
How the Mosquito Magnet
®
Works
Mosquitoes and other biting insects 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
®
mimics a human by converting propane to CO2, with its
patented catalytic conversion technology, in combination
with a short-range attractant.
Attracted by the CO2and short-range attractant,
mosquitoes and other biting insects are drawn to
the Mosquito Magnet
®
. When they reach the trap,
the insects are vacuumed into a bug bag by our
patented Counterow Technology™, where they
dehydrate and die within 24 hours.
The Mosquito Magnet
®
is silent, odorless and runs 24/7.
When properly placed in your yard, the trap begins
working immediately. Noticeable results can be
achieved in 7 to 10 days. To greatly reduce your biting
insect population, allow 4 weeks. Leave the Mosquito
Magnet
®
out all summer long, to control the mosquito
population in your yard.
Only biting insects are targeted including mosquitoes,
no-see-ums, black ies and midges. Benecial insects
such as butteries, bees or moths are not targeted.

attractant should be removed
and discarded. See attractant label for disposal instructions.
The bug bag should also be discarded prior to storing the trap.
STORAGE: The trap should be stored indoors in a garage
or shed in the off-season. Cover trumpet to prohibit insects
from nesting. Cover unit with a tarp and secure tightly at the
bottom to keep out dust, spider webs and other debris.
For Best Results (unit must run for 24 hours/day)
•Your trap will begin capturing immediately with
signicant reduction in the mosquito population in
7-10 days. Allow 4 weeks to signicantly reduce the
mosquito population in your yard.
• Allow trap to cool for 5 minutes before re-start.
• Never spray insecticide in or around trap.
• Trap can be left running in the rain.
• If using lime or fertilizer compounds, be sure to shut
down the trap rst to prevent dust or ne mist from
being drawn into trap and clogging bug bag.
Warning: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Read the installation, operating and maintenance
instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this
equipment.
Caution: The gas pressure regulator provided with this

Maintenance
Maintenance
• 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®attractant label for instructions.
- Empty or replace bug bag.
•Periodically wipe down the outside of the trap
with a clean damp cloth.
Propane Tank Changing Time
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 ow 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 the
regulator from the tank. Re-attach the regulator and try again.
