The Mosquito Magnet mimics a large mammal by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide (CO 2), heat and moisture, which when combined with an additional attractant, octenol , is irresistible to female mosquitoes (the ones that bite), no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies , and sandflies.
Our patented scientifically proven Counterflow Technology allows the Mosquito Magnet to emit a plume of carbon dioxide, heat, and moisture to attract biting insects, while simultaneously vacuuming the insects into a net where they dehydrate and die.
The Mosquito Magnet operates 24 hours a day in order to capture day-biting, as well as night-biting blood-seeking insects.
American Biophysics Corporation is a biotechnology company that uses scientific innovation to develop new technologies and products to address biting insect problems around the world. Ranked America's fastest growing private company in 2003 by Inc. magazine, American Biophysics is the creator and manufacturer of the Mosquito Magnet Advanced Mosquito Defense SystemTM, the original and only trap scientifically proven to virtually eliminate mosquitoes in a defined area (i.e., yards, neighborhoods, golf courses, etc). Additionally, the company's team of chemists, entomologists, and engineers probe and study biting insects and were the first to synthesize human skin emanations for commercial use in the world's most advanced biting insect traps and species-specific lures.
