The SkeeterVac SV3100 enters a whole new level of quality, function, and design. Every aspect of this machine has been specifically designed to attract, trap, and kill mosquitoes and other blood-seeking insects like no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies, sand flies and more. The SkeeterVac SV3100 combines the new Flight Guide contrast pattern TacTrap, CO2 converted from propane, and the power of Octenol BaitBlocks to effectively attract and trap biting insects like no other mosquito control equipment. The SV3100 also has the ability to use Lurex to attract and trap the Asian Tiger mosquito. To install the Lurex, simply peel off the clear protective coating and lay the Lurex cartridge on its side in the pre-molded bait holder. No Electric Cords - Powered by propane!

This product will provide the following when used as directed:

Attract, trap and kill certain flying biting insects such as mosquitoes, no-see-ums, midges, sand flies and black flies.
Reduce the nuisance of certain flying biting insects.
Over a 4 to 6 week period reduce the overall mosquito populations by exterminating egg laden female mosquitoes.

The SkeeterVac mosquito trap is designed to be operated 24 hours a day to help reduce the nuisance of mosquitoes. It attracts female mosquitoes that are seeking a blood meal to nourish their eggs. By removing these females you also remove their eggs. Attracting, trapping and killing just one mosquito at the start of the mosquito season can prevent the birth of up to 25,000 more mosquitoes that season alone!

How the SkeeterVac SV3100 Works

The SkeeterVac SV3100 is a cordless unit that creates its own power to energize the suction fan by converting propane to electricity using a catalytic converter. Once it is ran through the catalytic converter, the propane byproduct is CO2. When the fan powers up, the exhaust from the fan blows CO2 and an attractant called Octenol out of the unit along with heat and moisture. Mosquitoes are drawn to the CO2, Octenol, moisture and heat thinking it is a mammal. Some mosquitoes will get stuck on the sticky TacTrap which is the black and white portion of the trap surrounding the SV3100 engine. Mosquito research has shown that mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors. The design of the TacTrap with the white and black contrast tends to make mosquitoes fly toward the wider dark portions of the TacTrap which is where the suction from the fan pulls the mosquitoes into the permanent net where they will dehydrate and die. Resistance is Futile!

Exclusive FineTune BaitBlock System

SkeeterVac is the only product on the market to provide attractant customization to specific outdoor environments. Different species of mosquitoes and different physical locations may require a lesser or greater amount of Octenol output. The FineTune BaitBlock system allows for 5 different settings to vary the amount of Octenol output. Once adjusted for your area the catch rate will increase.

Lurex3 Asian Tiger Mosquito Attractant

SkeeterVac also allows use of the Lurex attractant, which targets the Asian Tiger mosquito. Asian Tiger mosquitoes as well as different physical locations may require an adjustment of the Lurex output. The system allows for 5 different settings to vary the amount of Lurex output. The catch rate will increase, once you have found the right settings for your area.

WaveDrawer

This patent-pending feature ensures minimal loss in vacuum power as the trap fills up. The SV3100 has been re-designed with the WaveDrawer on top of the engine eliminating the maintenance required on earlier models.

LED Lighting Attractant

SkeeterVac's unique 5-color "motion" lighting system helps increase attraction levels and works on difficult species like the Asian Tiger mosquito.

What makes SkeeterVac different?

Cordless - No limit on placement, no cord to trip over or cut and no service interruptions.
Powerful - The exclusive catalyst system produces 25% to 100% more CO₂ than competitively priced models.
Coverage - More CO₂ means more attraction power over larger coverage areas.
Value - More features and better performance at lower prices!
- FineTune Baiting System - SkeeterVac traps are the only units that can vary attractant output levels. This allows users to customize to their unique environments and improve capture performance.
- Ability to use Lurex to attract and trap the Asian Tiger Mosquito (2007 and newer models).
- Reliable Electronic Ignition - All SkeeterVac models start instantly. An easy to read indicator lets you know it is running.
- Vac & Tac Technology - these models are the only traps available that employ a powerful vacuum trap system and a large area sticky trap with directional graphics. This dual trapping approach means greater trapping performance.
- Motion Lighting - most models feature a unique lighting system that attracts more species by creating a motion effect over a 360 Degree area.
- Easy No Tools Assembly - available on all models

Maintenance:
Refill propane tank every 14 to 16 days, replace BaitBlock every 60 days, replace TacTrap when 80% covered with mosquitoes.

Mosquito Masher

Better than the Mosquito Magnet

I owned a Mosquito Magnet Liberty model for two years and then had to leave it for trash pickup down here in humid South Carolina. The second year was full of fighting with their customer service to get this thing working right. The SkeeterVac, as cheesy as the name sounds, has surprised my skeptical mind. I love the way it does NOT need a cord, a special battery, a ridiculous red "tank nozzle resetter", nor the cost and grief of the "quick clear cartridges". It catches the same amount of mosquitos for LESS MONEY AND LESS GRIEF. I am not using the tacky paper and still am getting amazing results. I have owned both of the "best" residential mosquito catchers now and I highly recommend the SKEETERVAC.

Mine just doesn't work.

This will be our third season TRYING to use our SV3100. My wife wants to try again this year, but I want to give up and throw it out. We have a small suburban lot (about 1/4 acre) in Bethesda, MD. I tried and tried to get it to work.... with virtually no success. I called Northern and the manufacturer... repeatedly. They are pleasant, made suggestions, and have been surprised with my lack of success, but otherwise unhelpful. It turns out that while I was rereading the instructions and watching the videos about how to set it up and make it work, THE RETURN PERIOD EXPIRED. I have tried every suggestion they have made. I have changed the location of the SkeeterVac, the volume of propane being burned, and the attractant... to NO AVAIL!! When I go to change the tank of propane, the trap has NEVER captured more than a couple dozen tiny insects! I bought the SV3100 because my wife gets "attacked" by mosquitos in our yard every spring and summer. She loves her garden, but frequently must retreat to the house because of the mosquitos. She gets some relief by wearing a ThermaCELL, but the SkeeterVac has poven WORTHLESS... It just doesn't work. I get so frustrated when I see the video of the fellow dumping out what looks like hundreds and hundreds of dehydrated mosquitos. I swear my wife has swatted more insects than the SkeeterVac has caught!

quality of the unit

I think I have everyone beat here! I purchased my first skeetervac back in 2001 and it finally gave in this year and wouldn't start. It is similar in appearance to the SV15 model. I immediately bought the SV3100 because I cannot be without it where I live. I hope the new SV3100 lives up to the old unit. It has been a fabulous machine over 12 years and I always said that if it ever died I would buy another. A note to all from experience: if you ever have trouble starting the unit in the Spring don't forget to clean out the propane inline filter in the hose that connects to the head of the unit. It's a really tiny ceramic filter so be sure it doesn't drop out and you lose it. Blow it out with a compressor and replace it and it should fire right up. I maintain my unit every year before I put it out so it is cleaned well and I even dismount and clean the circuit board that houses the little lights because it too gets covered in dust and pollen over time. Take care of it and it should last you as long as it has lasted me. Also, you may have to change locations in your yard at first until you hit the sweet spot where the unit will do a fantastic job. Good luck to all.

TacTrap is dangerous for birds

Within less than one hour of installing our new Skeetervac the only thing we had caught was a poor songbird! After spending hours trying to free the bird we ended up finding a wildlife rehabilitator who said this type of incident is very common and deadly for birds. The TacTrap is optional - if you have any birds in your area please don't use it! I wanted to let others know about our experience so that it won't happen again.

We tried the new SkeeterVac on a recent camping trip. Without a doubt, our camping trip would have been miserable without it. The flies and mosquitoes were horrible, and the SkeeterVac took care of all!!!

We live next to a large wooded area and during the summer and most of fall you cannot step foot out of doors without a serious dousing of mosquito repellant for fear of being eaten alive. When friends come to visit they run from their car to our front door and beg to come in quick because the mosquitos are so bad. I set up my SkeeterVac just before I left on a 2 1/2 week vacation. When we returned we arrived in the evening prime mosquito time and were surprised when we got out of the car that we weren't immediately attacked. The next day I talked to my neighbors and they all mentioned there seem to be almost no mosquitos. I have not put on an ounce of mosquito repellant since. I can't tell you how happy I am. So are my neighbors.

Skeeter Vac does the job nicely. New improvements over previous models is quite good. But leaves a big footprint killing the lawn under it. I had to make a wheeled platform for it to ease the moving process.

Q: We have a skeeter vac that we purchased from your company a number of years ago. Probably 4/5.years. It has served well but now it will not light. Push the gas button on right and can hear the hiss then push the ignite button. and hear the pop but it will not go. Any thoughts. Do you have a repair or exchange program. Thanks.

Customer S.

A: Hi Ken,
I am sorry to hear that you are having a problem with your SkeeterVac. You can call Blue Rhino at 888-753-7137 and go through some troubleshooting to see if they can assist you in getting it running again. If they are not able to assist you, they may be able to tell you where you can get it repaired. If you decide to purchase a new one, you can contact our customer service department and we will be happy to place an order for you.

Q: We are not happy with the Skeetervac - a $500 investment for us that does virtually nothing in our mosquito filled yard. Everything is running but it does not catch mosquitos. Suggestions please?

Customer S.

06/17/14

A: I would like to have you contact Blue Rhino for proper placement of your Skeetervac. On the top of your Skeetervac there is an octenol output, do you have that opened up all the way? If so, please turn it down to a third to a half.
You can call 888-753-7137 for further assistance

Q: How long does a tank of propane last?

Customer S.

06/01/14

A: Hi Randy,

The propane take should last around 19 to 21 days depending on how full your propane supplier fills the tank.

Q: Does this unit need to be plugged in, or does it run totally off the propane? Thanks

Customer S.

A: The SkeeterVac 3100 and 5100 models generate their own power and do not need to be plugged in.
