Text : Mosquito Magnet

Don’t spend the Summer covered in bug spray ou trapped indoors. Enjoy your backyard protected by the Mosquito Magnet. American Biophysics Corp. has been manufacturing effective surveillance equipment tested by the USDA and other government agencies using our patented Counterflow Technology for over a decade. In consulting with these agencies we developed the only effective, biting insect trap for consumer use. The Mosquito magnet mimics a human by emmiting a plume of carbon dioxide(CO2), heat and moisture and na additional attractant octenol. This precise combination is irresistible to female mosquitoes(the ones that bite) no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies and sandflies. As the mosquito approaches hoping for a human, it is quietly vacuumed into a net where it dehydrates and dies. Silent, odourless, no mess. By using the Mosquito Magnet continuosly throughtout the mosquito season, you will be able to capture both Day-and-night-biting mosquitoes, thereby drastically reducing the mosquito population in your yard.
