How it works: New and improved, the MKS uses the mosquito’s natural hunting techniques of heat sensing and carbon dioxide detection. The unit mimics the body temperatures and breathing patterns of humans, livestock, poultry, and domesticated pets. The photocell powers up the MKS, beginning the cycle of mimicking body heat and respiration. The MKS simulates the breathing of warm-blooded mammals by the release of carbon dioxide in 5 hour intervals. Every 6 to 9 minutes the MKS cycles through various temperatures to attract the mosquito. Through thermal imagery, and the release of CO2 the mosquito is attracted to the unit. Once inside the unit, the fan forces the mosquito through the machine. Mosquitoes are killed when they pass through the electrocution grid. The remains are then expelled through the bottom of the unit and returned to the environment. The MKS is UL listed. CO2 tank is not included. Available for separate purchase. |
