How SkeeterVac Traps
and Exterminates
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.
Creating
Attractants
Propane gas from a standard
grill cylinder is burned in a sealed combustion chamber where it is
catalyzed into warm carbon dioxide and water. This precision mixture is
exhausted out into the air stream.
A unique time-release
FineTune® lure at the top of the unit emits a scent that when
combined with CO2 increases the attraction power for many
species. Different species like different levels of the scent. Only
SkeeterVac® mosquito exterminators allow you to vary the
amount of attractant to match the species in your backyard. Adjustment
is made by simply turning a dial. |
