The most popular and affordable unit, the Mosquito Magnet Defender is constructed from high quality plastic. It runs on propane gas and a mains connection. It's coverage is around half an acre.
The ideal solution for clearing patios and small gardens of biting midges and mosquitos
The Mosquito Magnet Defender is designed for smaller midge problems and is definitely NOT suitable for areas with high infestation (see the larger Liberty and Pro models for serious midge & mosquito problems). The Defender is ideal for small gardens and patios. It will reverse light midge infestation in an area of up to half a football pitch (1/2 acre = 44m x 44m = 47 yard x 47 yard = 140ft x 140ft).

Day-to-day running for effective mosquito and midge control
Gas connections are now available for UK, ROI, EU Countries and Norway. We recommend using propane for its outstanding performance and clean burning qualities, but butane will work as well. A standard 20lb tank will power the magnet for around 20-25 days. We recommend cleaning the midge trap's system internally with the compressed CO2 every third tank and at the start of each season, as well as before winter storage. This simple Quick-Clear maintenance procedure prevents the carburetor from clogging with propane residue. One 3 pack (not supplied with machine) should be enough for one season, depending on the gas quality.
Midge Magnet Defender Peripherals
We recommend a midge trap cover for protection of the mosquito trap during off-season when in storage.
One net is included with the midge trap. Since no chemicals or poisons are used for killing the biting insects (they are trapped only) a vast number of midges, mosquitoes and other bugs might be trapped and stay alive. For this reason our customers often prefer to have an extra net so the full one doesn't have to be emptied when some bugs are still alive and might escape. Just leave them out in the sun for a day or two and they will dehydrate while the other net is catching the next thousand(s)!
Octenol is an optional (but highly recommended) additional attractant which improves the efficiency of the unit. Midges and mosquitoes just can't resist octenol so you will trap more bugs quicker and get rid of them sooner when using this additional attractant
Why the Mosquito Magnet Defender works so well
The burning of the propane gas results in the emission of carbon dioxide. This, coupled with the attractant, Octenol, are the key elements that attracts biting insects to the Defender trap's vacuum. Depending on the model, either the mains, or the thermal generator, provide the electricity that runs the fans of the vacuum to suck the midges and mosquitoes into the net where they are trapped.
The Defender is now available, along with all peripherals. Get yours now, as this popular model will sell out fast.
