1. Do I need to buy a Mounting Bracket or does one come with the MT unit?.
The MT3000 unit is a hanging unit and can be hung anywhere. We do supply an optional wall bracket or pole for mounting off a tree or in the yard. The older MT2000 is a stand alone unit and does not need a mounting bracket, but instead is mounted to the ground.
2. Where do I get a Co2 bottle and how long will one bottle last?
The Co2 bottle can be found at local supply stores. Depending on what size of bottle you use and what time cycles you set your timer to will determine how many hours your bottle will last.

3. What species of mosquitoes does the Mosquito Terminator system destroy.?
The system will kill most known species of mosquito including Asian tigers and any other blood sucking insect which hunts its prey by heat or Co2 detection.
4. At what area does the Mosquito Terminator Unit cover?
Approximately 1/2 acre if used correctly.
5. What is the best place to place the Mosquito Terminator unit?
Look for an area that is shaded, near dense foliage (not blocked) and protected from continuous direct sunlight and wind gusts. You may find more than one area that meets these criteria. Experiment with alternative placement to maximize mosquito capture. Place the trap away from where
people gather.
6. How does the Mosquito Terminator attract and destroy Mosquitoes?
The system mimics the body heat of the mosquito's prey and expels Co2 just like humans and other species. Once attracted they are sucked in and captured into an area surrounded by a fine mesh net and they can not get out to eat or drink, so they die.
7. Does the Mosquito Terminator System attract and kill other biting insects such as gnats?
Unfortunately deer flies, horse flies, etc. do not hunt in the same way mosquitoes do. They hunt by sight of unnatural moving objects and shadows.
8. How does the Mosquito Terminator differ from a regular bug zapper?
Regular bug zappers kill indiscriminately. Up to 70% of its victims are GOOD BUGS which hunt and kill mosquitoes and other pests such as aphids. The mosquito terminator has a special light combination to attract certain female mosquitoes.
9. What happens to the dead mosquitoes? Do I need to clean them from the machine?
Just lift the net and let all them dead mosquitoes hit the trash bag. If you do not empty them into a trash bag or some type of container, the dead mosquitoes will attract ants and other things in the feeding chain.
10. Would it help if all my neighbors had a Mosquito Terminator system installed on their property?
It certainly would help! Each Mosquito Terminator will attract the mosquitoes entering a 1/2 acre site. If your neighbors had the same system over time the population of mosquitoes would be vastly reduced. Only mosquitoes flying into the area would be found and most species of mosquito do not travel more than a few hundred yards in their life time, but some travel many miles to get your blood. So promote this to your friends and neighbors.
13. Is it powered by batteries?
The Mosquito Terminator will run from 6 to 8 days if connected to a fully charged average size car battery.
14. Is it powered by AC voltage?
The Mosquito Terminator units are powered by an included power supply/timer and the Power supply is powered by 110 AC which is then converted 12 volts. The Mosquito Terminator units must have 12volts at 36 watts.
(Important: The system will fail if you apply higher voltage than 12 volts.)
15.How can I tell if CO2 is flowing from the Mosquito Terminator?
Tomake sure CO2 is flowing out of the needle valve, just put your ear close to
the needle valve and you will hear or feel it flowing. If you do not
hear or feel it flowing, check to see if some thing has plugged the outlet
of the needle valve. Also make sure the CO2 cylinder valve is in the open
position.
16. Where is the Mosquito Terminator made?
The Mosquito Terminator is Made in the USA.
