Mosquito Trap Reviews
Back to Mosquito Traps
Mosquito traps are very effective in reducing the population
over time. We've taken the guesswork out of mosquito control
by doing a mosquito trap comparison of all the major models
to make sure you don't get eaten alive.
The SkeeterVac, and Mosquito Magnet work 24 hours a day
by emitting carbon dioxide, heat, and moisture to attract
biting insects, while simultaneously vacuuming the insects
into a net and/or trapping them on sticky paper where they
dehydrate and die. The traps are silent, odorless and don't
cause any mess. Also see the Mosquito Barrier concentrate
spray - keeps mosquitoes and other biting insects out of
your yard! Every mosquito you catch this year will
prevent the hatching of up to 25,000 more mosquitoes next
season!
We offer a Trial Period on several of
our mosquito traps and foggers.
Try it and if you don't think it is doing a good job
for you then return it.

Mosquito Insecticides are excellent for those who
need instant relief from mosquitoes. Most
work on contact killing any mosquitoes in the immediate
area as well as driving mosquitoes away from the
treated area, some for weeks at a time. Great
for parties and outdoor activities, simply spray
a couple of days before and again a couple of hours
before the event and your yard is covered with a
protective barrier. |
