Patented Counterflow 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 scent.
Attracted by the CO2and short-range scent,
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 Counterflow 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 flies and midges. Beneficial insects
such as butterflies, bees or moths are not targeted.

Set-Up
Trap Placement
1. Determine the direction of the prevailing wind.
Check local weather patterns if you are unsure.
2. Stand in the center of the area you are trying to protect
and look toward the prevailing wind.
3. Proper placement of the trap will be 10 meters
in front of you, within 1.5 meters of ground cover (i.e. bushes,
flowerbeds, tree line, marshbed). Ensure that trap is not
directly against any blockades such as buildings, fences, etc.
4. It is recommended that the trap be placed in the shade.
5. Do not place trap directly above a water source
(sprinklers, hose, etc.).
6. Trap must be placed on level ground to avoid tipping
or uneven propane distribution.
7. For optimal trap placement in your yard, refer to the
instructional video at www.mosquitomagnet.com/videos to
build your own yard diagram for correct trap placement.
Burying the Power Cord
Make sure unit is unplugged and in proper position. Use the
Cord Burying Clips supplied. Place clips approximately1meter
apart, press into ground by hand making sure not to damage
power cord. For alternate placement, follow steps illustrated
below.
1. Use straightedge shovel or garden spade and dig a
trench about 8 cm - 10 cm deep from power source to trap.
2. Place cord into trench carefully stretching as you go to
remove any twists in cord.
3. Use cedar shingle or folded cardboard to place cord into
bottom of trench. Recover the trench with removed soil.

be stored outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
End of Season Storage
Push ON/OFF switch to OFF position to shut down the trap.
The LED light will go out and the fan will continue running
until trap is cool. Close the propane tank valve
and disconnect regulator.
Any open Mosquito Magnet
®
Octenol or Lurex³ cartridges
should be removed and discarded. See cartridge 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 trap cover available at
www.mosquitomagnet.com or with a tarp and secure tightly
at the bottom to keep out dust, spider webs and other debris.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Quick Clear
adapter before seasonal storage to avoid build-up
of contaminants during off-season (see page 11).
For Best Results (unit must run for 24 hours/day)
•Your trap will begin capturing immediately with
significant reduction in the mosquito population in
7-10 days. Allow 4 weeks to significantly 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 first to prevent dust or fine 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
appliance must be used. This regulator is set for an
outlet pressure 11.0 in. water column.
The gas supply must be turned off at the LP-Gas
supply cylinder when this appliance is not in use.

Maintenance
Maintenance
•21 Day Maintenance Cycle
- Refill propane. 20 lb (9.07 kg) propane lasts approximately
21 days with 24-hour/7-days operation.
- Replace Octenol or Lurex³ cartridge.
See cartridge 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 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 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 the regulator from the tank. Re-attach the
regulator and try again.
