How the Mosquito Magnet Works

There are a lot of different elements that make up how Mosquito Magnet Mosquito Traps work to effectively gain mosquito control over your property. Mosquito Magnet mosquito traps kill mosquitoes by using numerous components that protect against mosquito bites and possible mosquito-borne illness by simulating human or animal-like characteristics that lure mosquitoes into the trap and away from you.

Understanding each key component of the mosquito magnet and how to optimize each element will not only produce higher catch rates, but effectively interrupt the breeding cycle and overtime, dramatically reduce your mosquito population.

Mosquito Magnet Design

Mosquito Magnet mosquito traps are designed to eliminate mosquito nuisances on properties of up to 1 acre using various attractants that trick mosquitoes into thinking the trap is a human or animal host. The Mosquito Magnet uses a patented CounterFlow Technology that emits a plume of CO2, heat, and moisture while simultaneously vacuuming the biting insects into a net where they dehydrate and die.

Mosquito Magnet Catalytic Technology

The Mosquito Magnet uses clean burning propane which when processed through a catalytic combustion system creates warm CO2 and moisture. The mosquito trap produces CO2 to mimic a human or animal host using these variables as attractants. The mosquito-magnet also uses the heat from this process to create electricity so you don't need batteries or power cords and it can be placed in mosquito breeding areas.

Mosquito Magnet CounterFlow Technology

The Mosquito-Magnet uses Patented CounterFlow Technology which utilizes a powerful mosquito vacuum that pulls mosquitoes into a net inside of the trap where they dehydrate and die. With this scientifically proven CounterFlow Technology, you will start to see results in as little as 7-10 days and a drastic decline in mosquito population in just 4 weeks!

Mosquito Magnet Attractants


Octenol - The Mosquito Magnet offers easy installation of Octenol attractant which is irresistible to mosquitoes, no see-ums, biting midges, black flies, sand flies, and more. When used in conjunction with carbon dioxide, Octenol enhances catch rates for the mosquito-magnet. The octenol is in the form of a packet with a peel-off top that is inserted into the Mosquito Magnet. It is recommended that the packet be replaced every three weeks.

Lurex - The Mosquito Magnet is also Lurex compatible. The Lurex attractant simply clips into the Mosquito Magnet to attract and kill day biting insects that are harder to catch; specifically the Asian Tiger Mosquito. Octenol has been found to be less effective in trapping Asian Tiger Mosquitoes. Lurex is a specially formulated patent pending attractant developed specifically to attract the Asian Tiger Mosquito. Lurex is made of natural compounds that simulate human sweat.

CO2 - The Mosquito Magnet also uses Catalytic Technology for optimum CO2 (carbon dioxide) creation. When created through a catalytic combustion system, CO2 and the moisture produced in the combustion process mimic human breath and are used as mosquito attractants.
The Mosquito-Magnet and other mosquito eater traps not only offer immediate mosquito control relief; overtime, they interrupt the breeding cycle by killing mosquitoes and prevent future generations of mosquitoes from becoming a nuisance. Lotions, creams, natural mosquito repellent, and other forms of natural mosquito control, and methods of electronic mosquito repellent are all short-term solutions to mosquito infestations. Watch these short videos and see for yourself why the Mosquito Magnet is an effective, leading long-term, scientifically proven mosquito control solution.

Mosquito Magnet reviews in this video show trapping results after approximately 30 days of operating the trap and also gives a little advice including insight to a couple specific mosquito magnet models, how often you should expect to change your 20lb propane tank, and how soon you can expect to see a collapse in mosquito population.


In this video, see the key to the Mosquito Magnet's success. This short video explains the Mosquito Magnets catalytic conversion process and how it utilizes propane to create CO2. Also, see how the Mosquito Magnet's Patented CounterFlow Technology works to lure mosquitoes to the trap and effectively reduce the mosquito population.


Trap placement is a very crucial factor in the set up and operation of your Mosquito Magnet and will determine whether or not you achieve high catch rates and overall success with your mosquito trap. This video will take the guesswork out of deciding where to place your Mosquito Magnet.
