What is a mosquito magnet®?

There are literally hundreds of products on the market today, claiming that mosquitoes transmit diseases transmitting diseases or otherwise sending diseases. Many of these facilities or chemical repellents offer only marginal protection or no significant protection at all. One promising type of mosquito trap is called mosquito magnetreg; And it works primarily by imitating one of the best mosquitoes of them; Human beings. Mosquito Magnet® uses a tank of compressed propane and a catalytic converter to generate carbon dioxide gas. The patented nozzle design distracts this gas at about the same concentration as human breathing. The chemical attractant is also mixed into carbon dioxide issue. Mosquito Magnet® smells like a large warm -gated animaal.

As soon as the mosquito reaches the source of carbon dioxide, the powerful vacuum draws it into the waiting mosquito, where it eventually dehydrates and expires within 24 hours. Magnet® commercial mosquitoes can be placed on the edge of the mosquito area and hopefullyE represents a more attractive goal than people using space for recreation and cooking.

Theoretically, domestic mosquito magnet from materials found around the garage could be constructed, although some parts used in the commercial version may not be easy to replicate. Small canisters of compressed propane gas are not difficult to obtain, but finding a suitable catalytic converter capable of turning propan into carbon dioxide could prove problematic. The nozzle would also have to be adapted to duplicate natural breathing. Mosquitoes are not attracted to higher carbon concentraceoxide, which would be fatal for most living things.

It would also be possible to set mosquito trade for mosquito collection, but the canister would have to contain a suitable network against mosquitoes or other mechanism to prevent mosquito leakage as soon as the vacuum is off. All things considered, enterprising do-it-yoursemer would probablyCreate a functional alternative, but Magnet® commercial mosquito has already solved many technical difficulties to face.

There are some experts who question the effectiveness of the mosquito system. Such devices can capture several thousand mosquitoes for adults during the average night, but there are usually hundreds of thousands of other mosquitoes and flying insects to attract. The tropics of mosquitoes that use attractants can actually bring more insects to the area than they can eliminate. If such a device as a mosquito magnet® was implemented, the correct placement would be critical proaximal efficiency.

It is estimated that 10% of the human population can also be considered as mosquito magnets. They naturally attract many more mosquitoes and other flying insects like other people. Scientists now believe that genetics plays a role in whether a particular person would be a real mosquito magnet. It seems that other factors such as skin care products, deodorants and smells play a small role in this phenomenon.

HumanThe mosquito magnets often exclude a higher level of certain chemicals such as cholesterol and uric acid. Female mosquitoes are attracted to these scents because they signal a healthy and abundant blood supply. Larger adults also release more carbon dioxide when they exhale, which is also more attractive for mosquitoes looking for the most promising targets. Pregnant women will also become more frequently mosquito magnets, although scientists are not sure why. Increased levels of hormones may be more attractive and other flying insects.

If someone claims to be a mosquito magnet, there is probably more than a grain of truth. These people can benefit from sweating as little as possible during external events and wear insect chemical repellents that contain Deet.
