Important Mosquito Information
Important Information
Your SkeeterVac ® device operates 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.
• It may take up to 3-4 weeks to see a noticeable reduction in the nuisance. Be patient
• Begin operating your SkeeterVac ® device once low temperatures remain above 50ºF
• To reduce and maintain mosquito populations it is important for your SkeeterVac ® device to operate continuously. Do not turn off the LP gas tank valve until your Skeetervac ® turns off, then immediately replace the empty tank with a full tank of propane
• Always contact our experts before returning product to place of purchase
Important Information About Octenol
Your SkeeterVac ® device includes a lure that contains octenol (1-octen-3-ol). This pesticide is an effective attractant supplement for some mosquito species.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
CAUTION: Harmful if swallowed, absorbed through the skin or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Important Information About Ultraviolet Light
This device radiates intense ultraviolet (UV) light when operated.
CAUTION: Do not look directly at the device during operation. Exposure to UV light, even for a brief period, can damage your eyes.
For expert assistance call toll free - 1.888.762.1142.
Always contact our experts before returning product to place of purchase.
Mosquito Facts
• About 3,000 species of mosquitoes have been identified on a worldwide basis.
Approximately 150 are known to exist in North America
• There are approximately 25 known “human nuisance species” of mosquitoes
• Most adult mosquitoes only have a life span of 2-4 weeks
• Only female mosquitoes bite
• Mosquitoes are very effective at reproducing - attracting, trapping and killing just one female mosquito at the start of mosquito season can prevent the birth of up to 25,000 more mosquitoes that season alone!
Controlling Mosquitoes
In addition to properly installing and using a SkeeterVac® device, you can reduce mosquito breeding around your home significantly by reducing the amount of water that is stagnating on your property. Be aware that mosquitoes can and will develop in any puddle or pool of water that lasts more than 4 days.
• Dispose of cans, plastic containers, pots, or similar water-holding containers that have accumulated on your property
• Drill holes in the bottom of containers that you must leave out of doors – trash cans, recycling bins, etc
• Clean clogged roof gutters on an annual basis
• Turn over plastic wading pools when not in use
• Turn over wheelbarrows, empty planters, or children’s toys when not in use
• Don’t allow water to stagnate in birdbaths
• Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish
• Clean and chlorinate swimming pools that are not being used. Don’t forget that mosquitoes breed in the water that collects on swimming pool covers
• Use landscaping features or drainage tools to eliminate standing water that collects in low spots on your property
