Blue Rhino SkeeterVac Review
The Blue Rhino SkeeterVac features similar technology to the Mosquito Magnet line of traps. However, the SkeeterVac adds on a few additional features setting itself apart from the competition. First, the SkeeterVac is cordless and has an electronic ignition system.
The two additional features not seen on many propane mosquito traps is a secondary sticky paper trap as well as a motion sensor light which add to trap effectiveness. The SkeeterVac can be assembled within minutes and no tools will be necessary.
How the Blue Rhino SkeeterVac Works:
The SkeeterVac utilizes multiple attractants to maximize catching ability. First, the trap emits CO2, minimizing the human breath, which will also act to attract no-see-ums. Additionally, the SkeeterVac deploys an environmentally friendly chemical further mimicking a human. As mosquitos approach the trap a sucking force pulls them up into the trap where they are left to expire. Again, setting the SkeeterVac apart is the addition of a sticky trap to catch those mosquitos that were not caught by the pulling force there is still a chance they make the fatal mistake of touching the ultra sticky tape.
Pros:
- Cordless
- Utilized multiple catching techniques
- Easy Assembly
- Affordable
- 1+ acreage coverage
Cons:
- No indicator light to signify attractant is running low
Who is the SkeeterVac Propane Mosquito Trap for?
SkeeterVac is for someone who wants maximum mosquito catching ability packed into a propane mosquito trap. Also, the SkeeterVac comes in at the middle of the road in terms of cost compared to its competitors such as the Executive, therefore a more cost-effective approach to mosquito control. Lastly, this machine is for people who have the need for a machine that can be located anywhere without the dependence on an outlet for power supply. This will make for an optimal trap placement which significantly influences your trap rate.
