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 Plus begins catching
immediately.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Mosquito Magnet® Octenol Mosquito Attractant Storage: Store in original container in a
cool, dry area and out of reach of children until ready to use.
Mosquito Magnet® Octenol Mosquito Attractant Disposal: DO NOT reuse the spent
lures. Dispose in household garbage. Unused or partially used products should be
disposed of at provincially or municipally designated waste disposal sites.

What Attracts Mosquitoes?
oOnly 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?
oThe Mosquito Magnet® Patriot Plus (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.
oThe patented Counterflow™ Technology then expels a silent, odourless plume of
CO2which lures the mosquitoes to the trap.
oAs mosquitoes approach in search of a human, they are caught in a vacuum
which draws them into the trap’s bug bag.
oWithin 24 hours the mosquitoes dehydrate and die
oThe self-contained bug bag eliminates the need to touch mosquitoes. Replace
your bug bag every 21 days or sooner to maximize air flow.
oYour propane tank will last 21 days.
oUse 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 Plus has discovered & patented
the precise formula of CO2, heat and moisture to attract mosquitoes.
Where Should I Place My Trap?
oPlace 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 Plus 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 Plus
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 attractants, mosquitoes are drawn to the Mosquito
Magnet Patriot Plus. 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 Plus is silent and odorless. When properly placed in your
yard, the trap begins working immediately. The Mosquito Magnet Patriot Plus only
targets mosquitoes, not beneficial insects such as butterflies, bees or moths.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Schedule
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.
