Mosquito trap Mosquito Magnet Executive
Mosquito Magnet Executive
The Mosquito Magnet Executive is an exterminating mosquito trap developed for large yards and areas with severe problems with mosquitoes, midges, and blackflies. The machine is designed for continuous operation and is used to reduce the local population over time, rather than providing temporary protection.
By being placed some distance from living areas, it lures mosquitoes away from people and catches them before they can reproduce. With regular use, many notice a significant difference within a week, with clear reduction after 4–6 weeks.
How the Mosquito Magnet Executive Works
The Mosquito Magnet Executive mimics a human to attract blood-sucking insects. The machine converts propane gas into carbon dioxide - the same signals humans emit when we breathe and spend time outdoors. To increase attraction, it also uses R-octenol, complementing the carbon dioxide and making the machine effective against both mosquitoes and midges in Nordic climates. When the insects approach, they are sucked in by a powerful vacuum fan and transported to a capture net where they dry out and die.
Optimize Propane Consumption
The Mosquito Magnet Executive is equipped with a built-in temperature sensor that can be configured for automatic shutdown and restart. Since mosquito activity is usually very low when the temperature falls below around 10 °C, the machine can be set to enter standby mode at a selected temperature. When the temperature rises again, the machine automatically starts up again. This feature helps reduce propane consumption and makes the Mosquito Magnet Executive particularly suitable for continuous operation throughout the season without unnecessary energy use.
Capture with Counterflow Technology
The Mosquito Magnet Executive is based on patented Counterflow technology, where attractants are efficiently dispersed into the surroundings while a separate airflow sucks insects into the machine. This provides a stable and high capture rate even at large populations. Continuous operation ensures that new generations are captured early in their life cycle, which is crucial for long-term effectiveness.
Scent Options for Mosquito Magnet Executive
The Mosquito Magnet Executive should be used with R-octenol, which also attracts midges and blackflies.

Details That Make a Difference
High Capture Capacity
The capture net holds large amounts of insects and needs to be emptied relatively rarely, even under heavy load.
Propane-Powered Operation
Propane is used to generate carbon dioxide, heat, and energy for the fan. Electricity is only needed for startup; thereafter, the machine is completely self-sufficient.
User-Friendly Design
The machine is designed for easy installation and stable operation throughout the season, with clear service steps for cleaning and replacement of consumables.
CE Marked and Suitable for Home Use
Robust design adapted for long-term outdoor use.

Other Important Information

- Follow the instructions provided with the product. Never disassemble or cut open the Octenol cartridge (i.e., hard plastic casing). Doing so risks direct contact with the Octenol agent inside the cartridge. Using it in any other way than specified here may cause higher concentrations which can be harmful and irritating.
- In case of ingestion of the Octenol agent inside the cartridge, immediately call Poison Control or a doctor for advice. Let the person drink water in small sips.
- If the concentrated agent inside the cartridge comes into contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the skin or rinse the eye slowly and carefully with plenty of water.
- If a person inhales a high concentration of Octenol, provide fresh air and rest.
- Unused cartridges should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquito Magnet Executive
Here you will find practical answers about function, placement, operation, and maintenance so you can achieve the best possible effect during the season.
How does the Mosquito Magnet Executive work?
The Mosquito Magnet Executive is an exterminating mosquito trap that works continuously by creating an attractant mimicking a human/animal. Mosquitoes and midges are drawn to the unit, sucked in by a fan, and captured in a mesh bag where they dry out.
How quickly can I expect noticeable effect?
The effect builds up as the population decreases over time. Many notice improvement after a period of stable operation, especially if the trap is placed correctly and runs continuously. During heavy hatching or new influx, it may take longer before the difference becomes clear.
Where should the Mosquito Magnet Executive be placed for best results?
Place the trap some distance from the areas where you spend time, so that mosquitoes are attracted away from the patio and outdoor area. A good starting point is placing it in a sheltered area, preferably on the edge of the property and on the path between hatching sites (moist vegetation) and living areas.
- Avoid placing it right next to seating areas.
- Choose a location without strong winds.
- Adjust placement in small steps and evaluate for 2–3 days per change.
Does the Executive need electricity or is propane enough?
The Mosquito Magnet Executive runs on propane and uses its rechargeable battery for some functions (for example start/electronics). Please read the manual to set up optimal operation and recommended installation.
How much propane is consumed?
A 10 kg propane tank lasts just over 3 weeks depending on how you have configured the machine.
How often should I replace the attractant?
The R-octenol tablet is replaced every 4 weeks.
How often do I need to empty or replace the capture container?
The capture container needs to be emptied regularly; if the container becomes full, airflow may be impaired and capture capacity reduced.
Can the Mosquito Magnet Executive be left outside in rain and wind?
The unit is intended for outdoor use, but weather affects how the attractant is dispersed. Strong winds can reduce efficiency, and persistent moisture can affect the capture bag. For best operation, a sheltered place out of strong wind is often advantageous.
Why is my Executive catching few mosquitoes?
This is most often due to placement, wind, interruptions in operation, or maintenance. Review:
- Placement: move it in small steps to a more sheltered spot and further from living areas.
- Airflow: check that intake/outlet are clean and free from obstruction.
- Consumption: ensure propane and possibly attractant are not empty and everything is properly installed.
- Continuity: best effect is achieved when the trap runs steadily during the season.
How do I handle service and storage after the season?
Clean capture parts and check that airways are free. Empty/replace the capture container if needed and store the unit dry. Close the propane tank and handle it according to safety advice. Follow the manual’s recommendations for seasonal service so the unit is ready to start next season.
