With the Mosquito Magnet® Patriot Plus, you can establish a defense zone for your home or
business that drastically cuts back on the breeding population of biting insects. This mosquito trap targets
all the biting insects you hate – mosquitoes, midges, no-see-ums and black flies. By using a mixture of
attractants, including moisture, heat and special scents, the Mosquito Magnet® lures biting
insects to the
machine where they’re sucked up inside the trap, ultimately dying from dehydration.
This unique mosquito trap is backed by 15 patents and more than two decades of research and innovation. The
technology in Patriot Plus has been proven to effectively break the breeding cycles of mosquitoes. Each trap
covers about 1 acre, requires a propane tank, attractant packs and nets, and it’s backed by a 1-year limited
warranty.
Best Used For:
Yards & Lawns
Restaurants & Bars
Wedding Venues
Campgrounds
Resorts & Hotels
Outdoor Work Areas
Schools & Daycare
Government & Military
How It Works
Mosquito Magnet® traps work using attractants that draw hungry, female mosquitoes, black
flies, no-see-ums and midges to the machine. Once the mosquito flies close to the device, the CounterFlow
vacuum sucks the insect into a net inside the trap. The powerful vacuum holds the mosquito in the net, where
the insect dehydrates and dies. Each trap provides about 1 acre of coverage.
Counterflow Technology
Mosquito Magnet® machines use CounterFlow Technology to push out a trail of odorless attractants
while also creating a powerful vacuum that traps mosquitoes and other insects.
CounterFlow Technology - follow the steps below:
Set the trap in your yard. It should be 30-40ft away from people and in the shade.
Trap's Patented technology converts propane to CO2. The CO2 released, attracts mosquitoes to the trap.
Secondary attractant mixed with CO2 attracts mosquitoes. It increases the mosquito catch rate by up to 10
times.
Patented technology. Mosquitoes get sucked into the plume and into the net.
Mosquitoes dehydrate and die in the net. Once in the net, mosquitoes will dehydrate and die within 24 hours.
Enjoy a mosquito free backyard!

"Works great. The net was almost full when the 1st tank of propane ran out. Using the R-Octenol in Northwest
Wisconsin, (and it) has worked very well. Can be outside at sunset, and I don't even get bit." (Review from Up
North Guy)
Mosquito Magnet® has offered mosquito and biting insect control solutions for more than a
decade. Among those options is its world-famous counter flow technology, which lures these insects to the
trap and quickly captures them. With Mosquito Magnet®, you can take back your yard!
Had this for over 4 years now and it's performed beyond expectations. Every month the basket gets filled with thousands of blood suckers. No flies or moths or water beetles, pretty much just Mosquitoes. This is a great targeted solution that works. Best investment I've made in years.
It is the only thing that has ever worked on mosquitos. It makes a huge difference to the point that you can sit outside and not get eaten alive. I found it fairly difficult to keep going as it is very sensitive to blockages etc.
I have had this machine for over 3 years. I had earlier problems with the machine and the manufacturer replaced the unit for me. I find the machine to be very effective in reducing the bug population.

Does IT Comes with octanol or I need toi buy them seperatly
Question by: Kym on Jun 9, 2026, 5:24 PM
Thank you for your question!
No, the trap does not include Octenol attractant cartridges; they are sold separately if you choose to use them.
The good news is that Octenol is not required for the trap to work. The trap already attracts mosquitoes by converting propane into CO₂, which mimics human breath and is a primary mosquito attractant.
Octenol and other attractants are recommended for areas with heavy mosquito pressure or larger infestations where you want the strongest possible attraction. For many users, the trap performs effectively using CO₂ alone.

How long does a tank last?
Question by: cj on Jul 19, 2024, 8:30 AM
The traps should be used with ONLY a 20 lb propane tank. We recommend changing the tank every 18-21 days. For best performance, we do not recommend allowing the propane to completely run out prior to changing it. The trap uses approximately 1 lb of propane per day. The trap should NOT be connected to any form of 'direct line' to a larger propane tank.
