How SkeeterVac Works

SkeeterVac mimics a living human by converting LPG into carbon dioxide, which is combined with heat and scent. These signals imitate human breathing and body presence, which mosquitoes use to locate people.

When mosquitoes are attracted to the trap, they are sucked in by an airflow and caught in a collection net where they dry out and die. For best effect, the trap is intended for continuous operation during the mosquito season and should be placed a distance away from areas where people stay.
