Don't spend another summer covered in bug / mosquito spray or
trapped indoors. Enjoy your backyard protected by
the Mosquito Magnet.
Sprays, candles and lotions offer only temporary relief from mosquitoes and
biting insects. The Mosquito Magnet biting insect trap is a long-term
solution that is scientifically proven to virtually eliminate mosquitoes from
your yard.
The Mosquito Magnet mimics a human by emitting a plume of carbon
dioxide (CO2), heat and moisture, and a short-range attractant, octenol. This
precise combination is irresistible to female mosquitoes (the ones that bite),
no-see-ums, biting midges, black flies, and sandflies. As the mosquito
approaches the trap hoping for a human, it is quietly vacuumed into a net where
it dehydrates and dies. Silent, odorless, no mess.
By using the Mosquito Magnet® continuously throughout the mosquito
season, you will be able to capture both day- and night-biting mosquitoes,
thereby drastically reducing the mosquito population in your yard.
American Biophysics Corp. has been manufacturing effective surveillance
equipment tested by the USDA and other government agencies using our patented
Counterflow Technology™ for over a decade. In consulting with these agencies
we developed an effective, biting insect trap for consumer use.
Mosquito Magnet Defender
Using the same proven
technology as its big brothers, the Mosquito Magnet Defender is

Proper placement of your Mosquito Magnet® is crucial to its
success. If placed correctly the mosquitoes will be drawn to the
Mosquito Magnet® instead of you.
You should begin noticing results
in 7-10 days. After 4-6 weeks of continuous use, the female
mosquitoes that live in and around your yard will be captured,
thereby reducing the mosquito population. After this happens you
will begin to see a reduction in your mosquito catch.
For best results, use the following
guidelines for proper placement:
The Mosquito Magnet must be located between the breeding areas
(standing water, bushes) and the 'people areas' (patio, deck) in order
to capture the mosquitoes at their source, BEFORE they get to you.
Place the trap as close to the breeding area and as far away from the
activity as possible. 30-40 feet is enough distance from the activity
so the biting insects will be attracted to the trap and not to you.
Mosquitoes fly upwind looking for a blood meal (you). After a female
mosquito bites a human, its weight is doubled; the mosquito will float
back downwind to the resting area.
CO2 is heavier than air, therefore it stays close to the
ground. The mosquitoes will follow the CO2 plume to the
trap. If its placed in high grass the flow of the plume will be
impeded and the mosquitoes won't find it...they'll find you!
Mosquitoes don't like the heat of the direct sun. As the sun sets,
mosquitoes come out of their resting places.
Although we realize that not everyone's yard is the same, and it may
be impossible for some people to meet all of the above guidelines, we
recommend that you try and meet as many as possible. If you have
questions about trap placement, try our Interactive
Flash Placement Assistant or call Technical Support toll-free at

Mosquito Magnet Testimonials
Please note catches may vary depending on
region and trap location.
I live on the Banana River in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Once the sun set my family was a prisoner in our house. If we went in our
pool we would be swarmed by mosquitoes. I almost had to breath through a
straw and stay under water it was so bad.
With the Mosquito Magnet we can swim at dusk and at night. The
mosquitoes are around the trap and not around us. I can't believe the
number of mosquitoes and no-see-ums it can catch. I wish all my neighbors
had them. Thanks for the great product. I now have one in the front yard,
too."
Greg S. Cocoa Beach FL
"Just a short note to let you know that all great words said about
the Mosquito Magnet are not enough. We have 10 acres of land on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland (St. Michael's area). We have a large barn that
we built for entertaining. I have a liberty model and two Pro Models
running outside the rear area of the barn - this 4th of July for the first
time we were able to sit outside and enjoy a wonderful 4th of July -
Thanks very much."
R.C. Bozman, MD
"We live on a spit of land surrounded on three sides by a salt-water
marsh. The mosquitoes were so bad that even at noon on a July day they
would swarm and make our backyard unusable. I purchased the unit last year
and for the first summer we were able to use the backyard. We can now play
in the yard during the day and sit on the deck at night, with hardly a
mosquito in sight. If I go across the street to the neighbor's backyard
the mosquitoes are horrible!!"

"Due to concerns over West Nile virus, my elderly parents purchased a
Mosquito Magnet for the cottage in May 2003. We set it up according to the
instructions and in the first 3 weeks we estimate we caught 4,500 - 5000
mosquitoes - and this during a cold spring where we feel the mosquitoes
have not really been a problem!
Each week since then the catch has been over a thousand mosquitoes and
now includes deer flies as well. The machine works as advertised and we
are thrilled.

"We've only used the Mosquito Magnet 6 days and it has literally
changed our lives! We live in Delaware, in a marshy area, where mosquitoes
make summer miserable. The Mosquito Magnet has made our yard 'normal' in
only these few days. In fact, we bought a second one two days ago. Great
Product!"

"I replaced the net on my Liberty that I bought on June 21 for the
first time last night. I kept the harvest in a zip lock bag. I estimate
about 4,000 mosquitoes, as well as about 20,000 no-see-ums, (2) small
spiders, (3) moths, and 4 or 5 different bugs that got caught up in the
frenzy.
I have told everyone I know about my Liberty trap. I first purchased a
Coleman Mosquito Deleto. In one week I caught some no-see-ums, a grass
hopper a few other strange bugs and (2) mosquitos. I returned the deleto
and bought the liberty the same day.
Keep up the great work."
Sincerely,
James C. Smithville, NJ
"Although our yard is a haven of beauty with 200 rose bushes, an herb
garden, magnolia tree, pecan tree, black walnut trees, many crepe myrtle
trees, butterfly bushes, palms, ferns, many container plants and a
swimming pool, I have never been able to enjoy it thoroughly because of
the mosquitos in the summer. I could not even float in the pool without
spraying every inch of my body. The past three weeks have been a delight
not having to spray myself or fear the inevitable multiple bites to which
I am highly sensitive.
I have recommended it to all my friends and co-workers. Thank you for
giving me back the joy of summertime - my favorite time of the year."

"I am in a heavily
wooded area with an irrigated lawn and
a creek in hot and humid Brookfield, Wisconsin. It seems like a scenario
in which I would never be able to use my yard. The Mosquito Magnet
operates quietly, effectively, and efficiently?what more could we desire?
I am considering a second unit to place elsewhere in the wooded area of
the yard. Again, thanks for a great product."
John Aghbasian

"In a year of record high mosquito numbers, the mosquito magnet has
allowed us to enjoy our yard with fewer mosquitoes than ever. The
butterflies and bumble bees continue to visit our garden because we no
longer have to use hazardous and indiscriminate chemicals to eliminate the
mosquitoes. It is a great invention."

"I live adjacent to a salt water marsh in Barrington, RI. Before
buying our first Mosquito Magnet our kids were unable to play in our yard.
After a week of operation the bag was completely full. I now have two
units--one for the front yard and one for the back and we have claimed our
yard back from the biting insects!"
G.G.
Barrington, RI
" Thank you for making it possible to reclaim my yard from
blood-sucking pests.
I bought your smaller machine in early June, after an evening when
nearly 100 mosquitos got into my family room. For years, my yard has been
infested with these pests, so that my wife and I have stayed inside during
the summer months. When I saw your ad on TV, I decided to take action.
During the first 3 weeks of operation, the magnet trapped an entire bag
of mosquitoes. Bugs were literally accumulating at the rate of hundreds
per day. The second bag filled more and more slowly, until, during the 6th
week of constant operation, the nightly haul was down to fewer than ten
mosquitoes.
The end result is that the mosquito population in my yard has been
effectively decimated, thanks to this remarkable machine."
"We put 4 Mosquito Magnet Pro units out in May and got 5 or 6 inches
of mosquitoes in each net in a single night. With the 4 Pro's, we'd fill
up 2 of the one-gallon zip lock bags every night. The bite count is way,
way down. They're stilll around but not nearly as severe. Our season
starts around the second week of April and the mosquitoes are huge. Some
are almost a 1/2 inch long. I grew up in Minnesota and these are bigger.
We placed the units around the barracks, outdoor activity area, and at the
entrance to the main gate. They sure do take care of the mosquitoes."
Scott Cuchna, Maintenance Mechanic

"Returned my "Mosquito Deleto" yesterday and bought your
Liberty model. In only 12 hours of operation, your Mosquito Magnet had
trapped more mosquitoes than the Deleto did in 15 days!"

"The Mosquito Magnets work as claimed. Two weeks after purchasing a
Freedom model, I ordered a Pro model. In addition to catching lots of
mosquitoes, our primary pest, the machines are also loading up on
no-see-ums and white sox. I only wish that I had gotten them in May
instead of June."

"I just had to add my testimonial to the huge list of happy Mosquito
Magnet owners. We live on a very rural 5-acre lot on a lake in the
outskirts of Orlando, Florida. For the first two years we lived there, we
were inundated with mosquitoes and no-see-um's in the morning and the
evening during the summer making going outside was miserable.
Last year we decided to purchase a Mosquito Magnet. Our Mosquito Magnet
exceeded all expectations we had!! We had to keep emptying the bag every
week or so and noticed an appreciable drop in mosquito incursions in the
area covered by the Mosquito Magnet.
Two weeks ago, we purchased 2 more Mosquito Magnet Liberty's to provide
additional coverage around our house and the results are almost beyond
belief. For the last two years, Florida has been in a drought. However,
this year is very different. Here in the Central Florida area, we have had
rain every day for the last month and the mosquitoes are going crazy. I
placed my three machines at the perimeter of the yard to give us
overlapping coverage around the house.
I have had to empty the bags twice already, but I am not complaining!
We have an almost absolute absence of mosquitoes around the house and the
yard where the kids play on the swingset and swim in the pool. And the
kennel for the dogs which used to be swarming with mosquitoes is almost
devoid of the flying syringes. As soon as you get to the back of our
property outside the coverage area, unless you have some heavy repellent
on, you can feel the mosquitoes hitting you.
Last year, we could not use our front door because the mosquitoes loved
the covered entryway. We would be assaulted on the doorstep and they would
fly into the house by the dozens if we opened the door. Well, NO MORE!!
They are all caught at the woodline before they can get to the house!!!
YOU MAKE AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT!! If everyone in America purchased just
one, we could probably wipe out the mosquito population in one year. I am
considering purchasing one or two more to provide even more coverage down
by the horse paddocks and am trying to convince my neighbors to purchase
Mosquito Magnets of their own. "
Jim B.

"I am writing to thank you for inventing the Mosquito Magnet. My
husband and I recently purchased a home in South Florida, which has a
pool, hot tub, outside laundry room and is surrounded by tropical foliage.
The mosquito population was unbelievable. The minute you stepped out side
you were bitten. Imagine having to share the pool and hot tub with these
pesky little things. The only way to entertain was to do so inside and
what's the point of all these amenities if you can't share them with your
friends. I also purchased this product for my dogs as well. There have
been a few cases of the West Nile virus in domestic animals and I wasn t
taking any chances. It has taken only 3 weeks to almost eliminate the
population on our property. We found ourselves checking the net everyday
for the first week, not knowing we would find such a large amount of
dehydrated pests. I want to thank once again for creating possibly the
best lawn ornament ever."

"We purchased a Pro model on 7-8-02 and had a cookout for 40 friends
on 7-14, hardly a mosquito to be found in just 6 days of operation! We
live in Boxford Massachusetts, where the 'town bird' is joked to be the
large mosquitoes that breed in the swamps and vernal pools in the woods.
Our property abuts 135 acres of town forrest so there is ample breeding
grounds for mosquitoes. Before we purchased the Mosquito Magnet our
children couldn't play in the yard with out being swarmed, now we can be
outside anytime and never need to be concerned with mosqutioes. Thanks for
your great invention."
Brian & Mary Ambrefe

I live next to a swamp in Alaska. When moose walk away from where they
were standing a cloud of swarming mosquitos makes it look like they left a
standing shadow. The Liberty model that we bought is constantly filled up
with mosquitoes and other viper type bugs. In the past five days, the
cloud of mosquitoes that hang by the door to the house, has gone down to
one or two now. The unit was full and plugged with mosquitos and had to be
vacuumed out daily, tens of thousands of them! I will be buying another
unit come next spring to put on the other side of the property. "

"After reading about the Mosquito Magnet Pro in multiple issues of
the Frontgate catalog, I was intrigued. I didnt feel comfortable shelling
out more than $1300 to try another catalog product, however. Then I read
an article about the MM products in one of my financial magazines (Kiplingers,
I believe) and knew I just had to go for it!
We live in the mosquito-filled Midwest on a one-acre lot that borders a
forest preserve. We have an in-ground pool and a yard that just begs for
entertaining. In the 6 years that we have had the pool, we have NEVER been
able to use it much past 6:30 in the evening because the mosquitoes eat us
alive!
We started the Mosquito Magnet Pro a little before the Memorial Day
holidays. A week or so later, we nervously sat on our pool deck (in swim
suits, no less) and waited and waited and waited. We were all
instinctively swatting even though a single mosquito never appeared. I was
sure it was a fluke; this was impossible! So, we kept at it; night after
night waiting. It's now passed mid July. I still think some massive
mosquito swarm MUST BE coming for us but, (unbelievably) we are swimming
and enjoying our yard late into the night bug free.
I still am amazed at how great this product works. It's one of the best
investments Ive ever made. Thank you all so much!"

"This is the best piece of equipment anybody?s ever come out with in
the history of Mosquitoes that?s effective. We tried everything and this
is the best. To me the cost of the propane is minor. I live along the
reservoir and we get plenty of no-see-ums. I haven't been bitten once
since I installed my Liberty on June 16th 2002. We stay out in the yard
until 10 or 11 at night. I brag about it to everyone. "

"I was just given the Mosquito Magnet Liberty as a gift. It was very
easy to set up. I checked it the first night and was amazed to find the
large amount of mosquitos which were already in the bag. After a week the
bag was almost full. I have emptied it into a food storage bag to show all
my friends. Your product works great, and I will always speak very highly
of it. "

"In San Antonio the month of July has brought us approx. 25 inches of
rain. While many are complaining about the biting insect, my family and
friends are having great days of fun in the sun with my Mosquito Magnet
protecting my backyard."

"The Mosquito Magnet Liberty really works! I have tired many things
to kill mosquitoes, but they still infested out yard. We did not want to
cut down our trees, but we did need to do something because life outside
was painful. My children would have bites everywhere, I would get bit
several times per minute. I decided to try the Sonic Web because it was
3/5 the price of the Liberty, and I was hoping it would work. Within two
days (48 hours) it had caught 18 mosquitoes, I could kill that many by
hand in 1/2. I opted to return it and get the Liberty. I was really hoping
it was not another gimmick that I would have to return. I set it up and
waited a 1/2 hour. I looked in the net I could see a few mosquitoes, and I
was pleased. The next day I saw approximately the same number moving
around in the net, thinking I had been ripped off, I lifted up the net to
see about 2 inches of nothing but dead mosquitoes laying at the bottom. It
was glorious!!! Two days later there was a noticable decrease in the
number of mosquitoes biting. We do not live in a high-density mosquito
area, but they do make life outside very unpleasant."
Thanks!

"Hi folks!! Thank-you for one of the best summer's that we had at our
cottage. We are the proud owners of 5 magnets which we used all summer.
One we have at our residence in the city and the other 4 are at our
cottage. We enjoyed many more family time hours outside in the evening and
we firmly believe that it was due to the mosquito magnets that we placed.
We even had a thank-you from some workers that were doing some landscaping
for us out there and how it was so much more bearable."

"I have three children whose ages are 3, 5, and 7. I purchased a
swing set to keep them occupied in my back yard. However, after it was set
up I found that I was unable to allow my children to play there due to the
excessive amounts of mosquitoes (we abutt a wooded area). My oldest
daughter has a severe reaction to bites, where it swells considerably. To
salvage my investment, and protect my children, I purchased a mosquito
magnet that I had seen on an in-flight publication.
The unit works great and we couldn't be more satisfied. We are now in
the process of putting on a deck, so we can enjoy the outdoors. My wife
was skeptical, but recently confessed that the unit is working and she is
now a believer. My neighbors also have commented on the effectiveness.
My other neighbor bought a competitors unit, but after my conversation
with him he is going to bring it back and purchase your unit.
I thank you and wish you continued success."

"We purchased our Mosquito Magnet on the 4th of July and emptied a
full bag of dead mosquitos on the 7th of July. I knew we had a bad
mosquito infestation but didn't know to what extent. Already we can tell
the difference in our back yard. In only three days we have gone from
swarms of mosquitoes to just a few here and there."

"After seeing the Mosquito Magnet at work in several of the Coast
Guard Stations, I decided to purchase this machine to help with the
problems I was having at home. I thought 'if it can work this good in a
coastal, low, marshy environment, it will do wonders at the house'. I am
happy to report that it has done better than I thought possible. We can
now sit on the deck without being attacked and driven back inside. My hats
off to the Mosquito Magnet."

"My wife and I live in South Florida and with the heavy rains we have
been experiencing this year, the mosquito problem had just gotten totally
out of hand. Our back yard is is within 50 yards of two canals and at
night the swarms of mosquitos would just take over our property. Even our
poor dog was being tormented as soon as he went outside. Nothing we tried
was working. We purchased your Liberty model and within a week the results
were just unbelievable. Your product has given us back our backyard. We
will finally be able to enjoy our summer barbecues without having to run
inside to eat.

"This photo says it all. This is after the Liberty model has been
installed for only 2 weeks. The bag is almost full!
I live in Luling, LA which is about 20 miles from New Orleans, and we
have a lot of mosquitoes here. There have been several cases of
encephalitis reported in the area already this year."

"In 1998 my wife and I decided to sell our Condominium in Toronto and
move to the country. My wife owns two horses and we needed a place with
lots of room. We found the perfect house with nine acres of property.
Surrounding the house was five acres of cedar trees. We were very happy in
our new home, until the mosquitoes started to hatch.
We had been living in our new home for almost four years and every year
it was the same thing, mosquitoes by the thousands. Every year we
continued to use the same old methods to fight the mosquitoes but they
just kept coming. I've spent a small fortune over the years on mosquito
coils, bug sprays and even a propane fogger.
Not only are the sprays and pesticides we where using harmful to the
environment, they were harmful to ourselves and our pets. The other
problem is they stop working after a short period of time. We needed
something more than that for our situation.
The truth of the matter was we couldn't even sit out in our own
backyard. The view of the backyard was from the inside looking out. The
dog, cat and horses didn't even go outside for long. The mosquitos were
literally that bad.
In the spring of 2001 I told my wife, I'm going to find a way to
reclaim our property. This was war, and I was tired of always being a
prisoner in my own house. I started by searching the internet for some
help and found mosquitomagnet.com; on the web site was a picture of this
machine called a Mosquito Magnet. I started reading all the information on
this product and the way it would attract the female mosquitoes. It
sounded great, no sprays, no chemicals, just propane, and it would work 24
hours a day seven days a week.
The concept sounded logical, I had made up my mind to purchase the
Mosquito Magnet for myself. When we got it home and set it up, we didn't
know what to expect. I said to my wife cross your fingers and let's hope
this works. After the first 24 hours we went over to check and see what
was happening. Looking through the window we saw a huge mass of
mosquitoes, this was fantastic. We both thought the same thing; it was too
good to be true.
Over the next few weeks I was rotating the nets every 48 hours, the
Mosquito Magnet was catching thousands every day. By mid summer the
rotation became less frequent and we could see a significant drop in the
mosquito population, the Mosquito Magnet was doing its job. The results
are fantastic, we spend more time outside now and we love it, and so do
our pets.
Around here happiness is the Mosquito Magnet; to us it was well worth
the investment. It really has worked for our situation. If you knew what
it was like around here, you would be amazed at the difference.
My wife, all our pets and I say thank you, it's a wonderful
product."

"PS I have ordered another one to be delivered Spring of 2002"
"Last year my wife and I purchased a home in a heavily wooded area
with a great backyard for the kids. Once spring arrived we quickly began
to realize what a terrible mosquito problem we had. We could not play or
barbeque in our backyard after 6:00 at night because the mosquitoes would
become unbearable. In search of a solution, by chance I happened upon a
page one article in the Boston Globe business section discussing your
company and its products. I could not believe what I was reading, a
product that actually worked in reducing the mosquito population. Sounding
too good to be true I did my research. I contacted retailers who sold your
products and customers who used your product. They all said it was true. I
decided to take the plunge and purchased your $800 dollar Mosquito Magnet
machine. I am very happy to report that it works better than I could have
imagined. We have reclaimed our backyard and can enjoy it any time of the
day. I know it might sound silly but I love to go out at night with a
flashlight and look at the net filling up with thousands of mosquitoes. It
brings a smile to my face every time. Well done...thank you for a terrific
product!!"

"I've dealt with mosquitoes all my life. I grew up in Florida and now
live in Atlanta. I put the residential unit in my yard and in three days,
the mosquitoes are gone. I expected it to take longer. Usually, I walk out
my door and get pounced on by the Asian Tiger mosquito. Now, I sit out in
my chair and nothing comes to me. I guess I have it placed just right.
Every American needs one. I'll be your best salesman. I've told everyone
to buy the Mosquito Magnet. God bless you guys for creating it. "

"I rarely write to tell a company that their product works as well as
they say it does (imagine the concept!), but I am totally amazed at the
definitive results I've gotten using the Mosquito Magnet! I was originally
somewhat skeptical that you claimed it would eliminate ALL mosquitoes - I
imagined that it would (hopefully) cut back MOST of the mosquitoes... but
your product works almost 100 percent! Since I've had the magnet I have
only been bitten once and that was just because the propane tank ran out
of fuel that day.
My wife used to tease me that she could sit outside with me anytime and
not worry about being eaten by blood thirsty mosquitoes because they
always seemed to find me and leave her alone. I told her it was because I
was sweeter than her, but I really hated having to lather up in repellent
if I just wanted to sit on the patio.
Since I have the Mosquito Magnet I can now sit outside anytime and not
worry about being bitten by buzzing, biting insects or have smelly
pesticides coating my body - what freedom! It's especially nice that it
works at a distance, even when I'm 30 yards away in the gazebo. The
concept is so simple yet so effective that I wanted to tell you how
impressed I am. This is the only product that has worked - everything else
is just smoke and electronic hooey! I don't have to worry about ever being
bothered again. Congratulations on a tremendous break through product!

"I just wanted to communicate my satisfaction with the Mosquito
Magnet. I purchased a Pro unit and set the product up in my yard back in
April of this year. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of the
effectiveness of the product. Within 2 weeks my skepticism turned to
amazement. When I went out to check the unit in the woods of my back yard,
I cound not believe how may black flies were in the net. We spent the
whole month of May in our back yard without having the aggrevation of all
the bugs. As a matter of fact, the flies in our neighbor's yard directly
adjacent to our yard were pretty bad.
It is now July and the unit is working just as well. I change the net
every three weeks when I change the propane tank and there are literally
thousands of mosquitoes in the net every time. Thanks for designing such a
good product."

"Our neighbor came by the other day and asked,'What are you doing
about the mosquito situation?' I said, "We don't have a mosquito
situation here. We have the Mosquito Magnet." I'm sold on this
product. It really works and that's all anyone wants. There is a huge
market for the Mosquito Magnet in Westhampton Beach, NY . I think the
Mosquito Magnet is amazing. I'm going to try to get all my neighbors to
buy one."

"My boss's friends have two Mosquito Magnets and swear by them. So we
bought one and then another. When we first turned the Mosquito Magnet on,
we weren't sure it would work. They work fantastic, better than any bug
light we ever tried before. We want one more for us and 4 for other family
members.
We are on 4 acres on an island in Lake Muskoka, a popular tourist area.
During season the population grows from 14,000 to 200,000. The mosquito
situation is terrible from the middle of May through September. We wear
mesh bug jackets in the spring with hood, gloves and pants. Now, there's
hardly a mosquito around me. I can walk around in the morning and water my
flowers. I'm only bothered when I go over by the machine to check on them.
We have to empty the bags every 5 or 6 days because they're so full. I'm
interested in becoming a dealer."

"We purchased a Mosquito Magnet Pro, and we wanted to tell you how
pleased we are with it. Our backyard was uninhabitable, until now. We live
in Northeastern Oregon on 160 acres. Everyone in this area flood irrigates
their pastures. Water comes down a main canal and then into earthen
ditches onto the property. Needless to say, there is a lot of standing
water and tall grasses - perfect for mosquitos. Vector Control can't even
put a dent in the mosquito population. Everyone complains every year about
the millions of mosquitos. I have since become allegic to mosquito bites
just from being bit so many times. I swell up something terrible. We put
the Mosquito Magnet Pro in our backyard and have caught thousands. We are
bagging them in ZipLock baggies and marking the dates on the bag to turn
over to Vector Control. They are interested in the types of mosquitos and
will also test for diseases. We are trying to talk Vector Control into
purchasing a lot of the Mosquito Magnet Pro's for the Hermiston, Oregon
area.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful machine. We can now
enjoy our hot tub, patio and barbeque!! We just love it!!"
Sincerely,
Margaret and Stephen Sutton

"This is the second season with 2 Mosquito Magnet PRO's on my
two-acre lot. I have had people come around here and say, "it's
unbelievable!" At first, I'd have half a bag full of mosquitoes
within a week. Now I'm not even getting 50 a night. That means I'm getting
rid of them! "

"We bought our Mosquito Magnet at the beginning of last season and
tried it out in Amesbury, MA in the world of mosquitoes right along the
Merrimack River. Previously, when it was hot and humid the mosquitoes
could carry you away. Now you can go out at any time during the day. The
only time you ever see a mosquito is at dusk. My neighbors must love me
because they don't have any mosquitoes either.
Over the winter we brought our Mosquito Magnet to Beaufort, SC and set
it up at a friend's house. The machine wiped the midges out of his yard.
Usually, the midges in Beaufort control the human population to the point
that you can't go outside. "

"Hi! I am writing you because we currently own a Mosquito Magnet Pro,
unit and it is catching between 60,000 and 70,000 mosquitoes per night. We
have the unit in Pecan Island, LA and we just can't keep up with the bag
filling up. Pecan Island is about 6 to 7 miles off the Gulf of Mexico and
it is made up of a brakish water marsh. This marsh is the supreme breeding
ground for mosquitoes. We were hoping that your company would be
developing a new unit that has a larger capacity holding bag. This product
is tops in our book, but we just wish that it would hold more mosquitoes.
"
Sincerely Yours,

" I just want you to know what an excellent product you have. I
purchased two Mosquito Magnets last year for my home and acreage on the
Texas Gulf Coast. They are worth every penny and more. My wife and I have
hosted two large outdoor weddings and several outdoor parties after the
purchases of these units. The mosquitos were well managed.
I was prompted to write this today after checking on both units (that I
run continuously) just a minute ago. The mosquito bags were filling up,
and when the bags fill up, I get a smile on my face."

"I have four Mosquito Magnet Pro's on my Mustique Island property in
the Northern Grenadines. The machines are working great. They're catching
a lot of mosquitoes. There is so much of a reduction I was thinking
something environmental was going on. But, other people without Mosquito
Magnets are getting bitten. I can say that I have less mosquitoes and sand
flies than ever. The machines between the house and swamp have the highest
catch. In two weeks the nets on the swamp side of the house are 1/3
full."
Jerry Watson Mustique Island

"Living where we are, it has been terrible with the mosquitoes and
no-see-ums. We live on a peninsula, and the house divides the lot. We put
one Mosquito Magnet Pro in the front and one in the back. It works! Even
the people who work on our yard have commented on how unusual it is to get
bitten now."
Stuart Hope Georgetown, SC
"I read about Mosquito Magnets in Popular Science and got all excited
about it. I ordered two for my home in Florida and one for my home in
Ohio. I set up my two Pro's yesterday and was thinking, 'why did I
order these things? it's probably a rip -off'! I put them out and
didn't expect anything.
I ran out there the next morning thinking I was stupid to put the
Mosquito Magnet boxes out for rubbish since the truck had already
picked-up. I was not expecting to see anything in one day. But when I
looked inside and saw all the mosquitoes, I couldn't believe it. There
were at least 1,000 mosquitoes in the nets between the two units. Seven
days later, the mosquitoes are up to four inches solid from the bottom of
the net, plus the ones flying and crawling around inside.
A recent hurricane dumped a lot of water here and the headlines read,
'Mosquitoes Unleashed, Hurricane Gordon Spawning Worst Outbreak This
Year'.
You can use my name as a reference and post my comments on your web
site. I'm happy to tell people how well they work."
Jerry Bernstein Fort Myers, FL
"Your product is absolutely stunning! This is our second season with
the Mosquito Magnet. The whole family fights for a flashlight at night to
go out and check the net. Everyone loves to see the bugs in prison."
I recall a small event from last year. Dad was allergic to the bites
and ended up first with a dermatologist, and after few days we went to
emergency room. They still couldn't help and dad had to go back to native
Germany where he ended up in a specialized clinic. It took two weeks for
everything to clear up. Well, this year, same land, same dad, not a single
bite.
Now we can use the hammock. Before you couldn't be there for five
minutes. This summer, nobody had a single bite. Our land was for sale for
a low price before the Mosquito Magnet. Now we can get big bucks! WITHOUT
THIS MACHINE, LIFE WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.""

"On Long Island Sound in South Norwalk,Connecticut, nine Mosquito
Magnets installed along the shores of our "island" community
have given us back our evenings to enjoy outside. We are a small private
community of 103 homes and have marsh on two sides and the Sound on the
other two. Tidal mud flats abound, the breeding grounds for no-see-ums
(midges). You add in both marsh and fresh-water mosquitoes, and you have
major bug biting problems.
"I first became aware of the Magnets through my job with Golf
Digest magazine, and I realized that here was a way to regain our
evenings. I divided the community into acre groupings because each
Mosquito Magnet clears about an acre area. Nine groups of home-owners
shared the expense, and we purchased nine machines that were activated the
third week in June. The bags began to fill up almost immediately and after
over six weeks of operations, have trapped millions, according to
American Biophysics quantity measurements. We can now eat outside on our
deck and not be driven in. Most of us spend our summers outside, and since
the midge population began to crash, we can now adventure out without our
bodies slathered in bug repellent.. There is no adverse effect on the
environment, and it requires only a small amount of time to change the
tank and insert a new octenol cartridge about every three weeks, no
sacrifice at all to pay for bite-free evenings."
Bitsy Farnsworth South Norwalk, CT
"It's unbelievable we have almost a full net in less than a week.
We have three Mosquito Magnets in place and they are full of no-see-ums
and mosquitoes. I didn't even know we had a mosquito problem. We live on 5
acres and about 4 of them are mangroves. Before our Mosquito Magnets you
couldn't go outside between dusk and dawn without being bitten all over by
no-see-ums, or as we referred to them as "flying teeth". At
first we considered putting out all 6 of the machines we purchased but 3
seem to be working so well,we decided to share them with our neighbors on
our Island. We're so excited about the immediate results we're having, and
are firm believers that it's just going to keep getting better!"
Nancy Holmes Terra Ceia Island, FL
The following testimonial is from a
mother whose son has been diagnosed as severely allergic to mosquito
bites.
"We have already received our mosquito magnet. And after using it
for 3 weeks, I have to say it is the most wonderful product created. We
saved the first batch of mosquitoes for Ethan to see. He now can go out
and play in our yard without fear of having hundreds of mosquitoes after
him. In just one week, that entire bag was packed full of mosquitoes .
. . and I mean REALLY full. We've only had one emergency visit for Ethan
since we first hooked up the Mosquito Magnet and that was when he went to
his grandparents home and got one bite. We've had a lot of members in our
Church ask how the Magnet is working out and have placed a Praise in the
church bulletin about the Mosquito Magnet.
Thank you from the depths of our heart for sending us the machine so
very quickly. Most especially, Ethan thanks you. For his second birthday
he was actually allowed to play outside with his friends. You can't
imagine how much this means to us. With all sincerity . . . Thank you. And
may God bless the lives of the people who created this wonderful machine
and for people like you who made it possible for us to own one. It is
wonderful taking my son outside to play with his friends instead of having
him watch them play and have fun from his window."
Sincerely,
Ben, Cathy and Ethan Sherwood Arnold, MO
"Congratulations on your success. We have a Mosquito Magnet at our
summer home on Nantucket Island and It works wonders.We tried everything
to fight the mosquitos-citronella, candles,electronic zappers, tiki
torches and chemical sprays. Since we got the Mosquito Magnet we haven't
had to use any of that stuff. My family has been extremely impressed with
the results and the lack of mosquitoes in the area and have therefore
decided to purchase another unit for our home in Connecticut."
Regards,
Kevin McDonald Nantucket, MA
"We are very pleased and are now able to fully use our backyard. It's
been really great. For the first time we can sit out on the patio and have
dinner, something we were not able to do before. There were mostly gnats
in the net. Then the catch suddenly dropped off. That's when we noticed we
did not get bitten anymore."
Anne Linneman East Rockaway, NY
"I have an orchard and a 12-acre pond with big gold coast mosquitoes.
They just about kill me. I've had my Mosquito Magnet in operation for 10
days. I have a good inch in the net. I'm already sitting on my deck
without getting bitten. I walk out on my lawn without the mosquitoes
swarming up in front of me. Before the Mosquito Magnet they were so thick
you would actually breathe them in. I'm an engineer and the quality and
workmanship of my Mosquito Magnet Pro is very good. It's a beautiful idea
and design. I just love it."
Robert Thackston Fort Gaines, GA
"I couldn't believe it. We received our Mosquito Magnet about a month
ago (October '99) and caught an estimated 40,000 no-see-ums and
mosquitoes during the first 10-15 days of use (1" deep). As a
retired airline pilot and engineer, I was very impressed with the unit's
engineering. The no-see-ums had previously prevented us from using our
screened-in pool, as my wife has very severe reactions to no-see-um bites.
We can now use the pool, and our neighbors are considering buying the
machines. I jump on certain products, and I believe that Mosquito Magnets
will eventually be in every home that has biting insect problems. The unit
even survived 60 mph winds from Hurricane Irene."
Bob Kison Titusville, FL
Update 2002: "Even with all the rain, running two MMs in my large
yard for the past 3 - 4 yrs has reduced the biting insect problem so much
that we have barely collected an inch of insects between the two units.
Talk about reducing the population... "
"Given the effectiveness of my Mosquito Magnet here in
Massachusetts, I drove home to Florida during the Thanksgiving Holiday
with my new bug trap in tow. During my 16-day stay in Florida, my little
bug eating friend gobbled up thousands of no-see-ums and hundreds of
mosquitoes proving to all my family and friends that this is not gimic -
but the REAL THING.
Thanks again for making my home (and yard) a place to live and love -
bug free."
Tim Muldoon Harvard, MA & Florida
"After sunset, we'd never dare go out into our yard or
garden, or sit on our deck without spraying ourselves, friends,
pets and the kids with bug repellent, which I was uncomfortable
with. I used to spray the yard with harmful pesticides, then I
tried a bug zapper, but it didn't catch them and it spread
bacteria all over the place. We never won the battle until now.
The Mosquito Magnet took only six weeks to wipe out my biting
insect problem. We've gotten our yard back."
Richard Eannarino Jamestown, RI
"I have to say I'm really impressed with the way your product works.
Last night was the first night we ran it. Even with the wind and rain it
managed to catch approximately 250 mosquitoes, 500 no-see-ums (which I
didn't even know we had). I set the bag up like a bird cage in my office
so that everyone who was skeptical could see what I call the 'New
Hampshire State Bird'."
Gary Ciccone Londonderry, NH
"My husband, Gregory, and I love coming up to Bear Camp
Pond to do some fishing on the weekends, but we always feel like
prisoners to our screened-in porch because the mosquitoes and
black flies are so bad. We hate putting on those repellents
knowing that they can't be good for us. And we love being in the
great outdoors.
Now we're spending more time outdoors on the pond fishing than
we ever have. These days when I go fishing on our dock, the only
thing biting is the fish, not the mosquitoes and black flies.
We're back on the pond again and pretty soon we'll be telling you
about the big ones that didn't get away."
Lois Kelley Sheffield, NH
We live on two acres of marshfront near Savannah, Georgia. We have been
using the Mosquito Magnet for several months and are very pleased with its
performance. We are now able to sit outside at dusk without being attacked
by bugs.
Bill Lynes Wilmington Island, GA
According to your calculation of 37,000 mosquitoes per inch of net, we
captured more than 200,000 mosquitoes in the first six weeks. We
live on a very wooded lake ridge, and the weather has been hot and wet
(perfect for breeding). This is the first summer that we have not been
chased inside by the Minnesota State Bird. After the initial six weeks the
number of mosquitoes captured has dropped off by about 75% telling me that
we have really cleaned out the area.
Denny Dotson Mankato, MN
I have a lake property in Central Minnesota in the Brainerd Lakes area.
Mosquitoes are always a problem in Minnesota, especially where there are
heavy concentrations of water like the Brainerd Lakes area. This year
started out as an exceptionally bad year for mosquitoes in Minnesota. We
had heavy spring rains that have lasted throughout the summer and the
temperatures have been significantly above average. The heavy rains and
warm temperatures during the spring created the ultimate hatching
environment for millions upon million of hungry Minnesota mosquitoes!
I declared war on mosquitoes during early June when the mosquitoes
where so bad that my family, especially my 3 and 5 year olds, could not be
outside without being literally attacked back into the cabin. I am
currently managing mosquitoes on my property using two methods: First, I
am having a professional mosquito control company spray every two weeks,
and second, I have purchased a "Mosquito Magnet". I have to tell
you, my family is thrilled with both as the effectiveness has been
incredible.
Even with the bi-monthly spraying, my "Mosquito Magnet" has
collected an amazing volume of the blood sucking beasts. In total, based
on American Biophysics measures, I estimate that I have collected approximately
100,000 mosquitoes in 4 weeks! This is an incredible collection of
mosquitoes that you have to see to believe. I have gone from having
mosquitoes chase my family back into the cabin to maybe having one bite
per weekend per person! Also, another great benefit is that we no longer
have to apply "bug spray" to the kids or ourselves."
Steve Rozek Golden Valley, MN
"The Mosquito Magnet has made a remarkable difference. After the
third weekend, we emptied the net and we had about 3 inches of mosquitoes
in there. Now my husband and I are like children, running out to the trap
each morning to see what we caught."
Kim Fleming Cypermont Point, LA
"I recently purchased a residential machine through Frontgate
catalogue. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! I live on Avery Island in coastal southwest
Louisiana, and we are plagued with mosquitoes. Since purchasing your
product, I can leave my house and get in my car without being
attacked...thanks for such a great product. I am recommending them to
everybody. "
Nanine d'Aquin Avery Island, LA
"My wife and I retired to Hilton Head Island two years ago, and we
love having our five grandchildren visit to swim in the pool and then
barbeque on our deck. We were never comfortable using insecticides and
sprays around the grandchildren to control the mosquitoes and the
no-see-ums. Thanks to the Mosquito Magnet, the kids are swimming in the
pool and I'm grilling all night long."
Don Bennett Hilton Head, SC
"Living in Interlachen, Florida puts my wife, Diane, and I pretty
much at ground zero when it comes to biting insects and their breeding
grounds. We wanted to find a solution that was environmentally friendly
and economically sound. It's great to work in our 2 acres of yard and
gardens and not be eaten alive."
Mike Wojcek Interlachen, FL
"My wife and I are retired and live in the heart of the Adironack
mountains at Loon Lake, NY. This is our third year; the first two years
were unbearable in May and June with black flies and mosquitoes the rest
of the summer. Last spring after purchasing one of your machines, my wife
was able to garden with comfort. We caught thousands of black flies. This
has made a big difference."
Owen Gilmore Vermontville, NY
"We are very pleased with the unit. After a very anxious two-week
period when there was much activity but not any detectable results, we
were delighted when one day we went out and they were GONE! They have
stayed gone, and we are delighted!"
Horst Tebbe Old Greenwich, CT
"We purchased one of your mosquito magnets this spring after locating
it on the Internet. After ordering it, we received it not a minute too
soon. The magnet worked like a jewel. Prior to using it, going outside,
even to dump the trash was like a nightmare. We have just moved to a new
home in Wyoming and thought we'd have more time to enjoy our favorite
areas but hadn't ever seen a mosquito year like this!
Already we are planning to order several more for the next year. We
need one for the shop, barn area, and the garage! Thanks again, you saved
our spring. The seasons are already too short in Wyoming to miss out.
