What Is A SkeeterVac® Mosquito Exterminator?
The SkeeterVac® Mosquito Trap is a mosquito lure. This lure is designed to attack, trap and kill mosquitoes and to further disrupt the breeding cycle..

Why is the lure approach so effective?
Mosquitoes live 2-4 weeks on average and females mosquitoes will lay up to 500 eggs during this span. Mosquitoes have a limited flight capacity, thus their habitat and breeding grounds are confined to an area typically less than an acre. Attracting, trapping and killing female mosquitoes disrupts the breeding cycle and minimizes mosquito re-population.

Attracting, trapping and killing just one female mosquito at the beginning of the season can prevent the birth of up to 25,000 additional mosquitoes throughout the season.

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), moisture and heat from 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.

Shouldn’t I just use a spray solution to kill the mosquitoes?
Sprays are a good “immediate” solutions to kill mosquitoes on contact, however, they do not disrupt the breeding cycle. Mosquitoes begin re-populating almost immediately after some sprays are applied.

OK, I like The Idea of a Lure, Why Choose a SkeeterVac®?
SkeeterVac® Lures are one of the original mosquito trap lure designs, utilizing propane and a cordless power design.

What is required to operate the SkeeterVac®?
To operate your SkeeterVac®, you will need a 20lb propane tank and an Octenol cartridge. No electricity is required to operate this unit. This unit generates its own power by incorporating an internal catalytic converter. All you will need to operate this unit is a full tank of propane and an Octenol cartridge
