Designed by a team of engineers and scientists, the Mosquito Vacuum combines the most effective mosquito attractants known today – carbon dioxide (CO2), moisture, heat, contrasting color & shape and luring scents. The Mosquito Vacuum mimics human breathing by generating CO2 from burning propane which is commonly available for use with all outdoor barbecue grills. Female mosquitoes, attracted to the CO2 and other lures, mistake the machine for a meal and are sucked into the Bug Basket by a powerful vacuum where they dehydrate and die. Within 4-6 weeks, the reproductive cycles of these biting pests may be interrupted and mosquito populations could be reduced in your yard. This results in a more pleasant outdoor environment for you and your family.
