It attracts female mosquitoes that are seeking a blood meal to nourish their eggs. By removing
these females you also remove their eggs.
• It may take up to 3-4 weeks to see a noticeable reduction in the nuisance. Be patient
• Begin operating your SkeeterVac ® device once low temperatures remain above 50ºF
• To reduce and maintain mosquito populations it is important for your SkeeterVac ® device to
operate continuously. Do not turn off the LP gas tank valve until your Skeetervac ® turns off,
then immediately replace the empty tank with a full tank of propane

Mosquito Facts

Approximately 150 are known to exist in North America
• There are approximately 25 known “human nuisance species” of mosquitoes
• Most adult mosquitoes only have a life span of 2-4 weeks

mosquitoes that season alone!
Controlling Mosquitoes
In addition to properly installing and using a SkeeterVac® device, you can reduce mosquito
breeding around your home significantly by reducing the amount of water that is stagnating on
your property. Be aware that mosquitoes can and will develop in any puddle or pool of water
that lasts more than 4 days.
• Dispose of cans, plastic containers, pots, or similar water-holding containers that have
accumulated on your property
• Drill holes in the bottom of containers that you must leave out of doors – trash cans,
recycling bins, etc
• Clean clogged roof gutters on an annual basis
• Turn over plastic wading pools when not in use
• Turn over wheelbarrows, empty planters, or children’s toys when not in use
• Don’t allow water to stagnate in birdbaths
• Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish
• Clean and chlorinate swimming pools that are not being used. Don’t forget that mosquitoes
breed in the water that collects on swimming pool covers
• Use landscaping features or drainage tools to eliminate standing water that collects in low
spots on your property
