In hundreds of tests, the Arctic Mosquito Killing System (MKS)
consistently captured several times as many mosquitoes than any other
machine or product, greatly reducing mosquito populations. In actual field
tests, the MKS has caught over 7,000 mosquitoes per hour, while
competitors' machines in the same test area only captured a few hundred.
(Many of these tests were conducted under harsh conditions. Don't expect
the same results on your property. You can expect, however, to capture far
more mosquitoes with the MKS than any other machine.)
Yes, competitors'
products and machines will capture some mosquitoes. Even bug lights will
loudly electrocute some mosquitoes. But these products do not use
scientific measurements of heat release or carbon dioxide, which are
necessary for effective and maximum reduction of mosquito populations.
Other products and
machines produce heat with a flame, but do not produce body heat
signatures. Only the MKS produces body heat signatures.
Other products and
machines produce carbon dioxide (CO2) by the combustion of the flame, with
no scientific release measurements. Only the MKS produces CO2 with
scientific release measurements.
How the MKS works:
·
The MKS uses the mosquito's natural hunting techniques of heat
sensing and carbon dioxide detection. It mimics body temperatures and
breathing patterns of humans, horses, livestock, poultry, and domesticated
pets by the release of carbon dioxide. Through thermal imagery and
measured releases of CO2, mosquitoes are attracted to the unit, and
captured.
·
A photo sensor turns the unit on at night and off at daylight. For
the unit to come on earlier or stay on later, you simply place the cover
on the photocell and plug the MKS into a timer for desired settings.
·
Body heat signatures are produced with a heat blanket in the heat
chamber cycling every few minutes from 85 degrees to 110 degrees. This
feature is performed continuously when unit is running.
·
The CO2 is warmed and released to mimic breathing. When the unit
first comes on at night, the CO2 is programmed to release for 5 hours. It
cycles on for 2 minutes and off for 1.5 minutes, releasing 750 cc a
minute.
·
The fan produces different air currents. One air current creates a
vacuum to draw mosquitoes into the unit. Another air current flows away
from the unit carrying and disbursing the attractants, thus magnifying the
attractants. The fan also acts as a killing mechanism throwing mosquitoes
against the inner wall. Plus, mosquitoes are killed when they pass through
the electrocution grid.
·
The interior electrocution grid is spaced to create a kill zone
when mosquitoes pass through, with a 99% kill ratio. The remains are then
expelled through the bottom of the unit and returned to the environment.
·
The capture net is to be used only for selecting the best location
for placement of the MKS units. Continued use of the capture net decreases
the airflow by 1 mph.
THE
COMPETITION
Mosquito
Magnet Pro
·
As high as $1,395!
·
Uses propane, which is a highly flammable gas!
·
Uses Octenol, which is a pesticide and potentially harmful to
children.
·
Does not use precise scientifically calculated heat signatures and
CO2 measurements, which attract the mosquitoes. It burns propane to create
heat with no scientifically calculated body heat signatures.
·
The catalytic converters build up with carbon from combustion and
get clogged. (The units may last one year if you’re lucky!)
·
You are required to buy CO2 cartridges for cleaning every 21 days.
·
You are required to buy useless attractants and accessories. (How
much Octenol do you have on you when you go outside and get bit? Answer:
None)
·
It is made out of plastic.
·
Constant cleaning and maintenance required.
·
Required to purchase new capture nets every month.
·
The propane tank only lasts 21 days.

OCTENOL
IS BAD …
According to the material safety data sheet Octenol can cause nasal
and respiratory irritation, skin irritation, and stomach upset. Octenol is
also potentially very harmful to children.
