The One-Two Punch |
Simple, Efficient and Durable.
The Dragonfly® was developed under a
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Agricultural
Research Service (ARS), the chief scientific research agency of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Dragonfly® lures mosquitoes with a
blend of carbon dioxide (CO2), heat and octenol,
the same chemical cues that attract mosquitoes and other biting
insects in nature. When animals and humans breathe, they exhale an
invisible mixture of CO2 and octenol (a type of alcohol). Mosquitoes
and biting insects have receptors that detect these chemicals up to
100 feet away. Mosquitoes are attracted by these chemicals and will
fly immediately toward the human or animal target they have detected.
Mosquitoes also have delicate heat sensors that help them locate
their blood supply. As they get closer to their prey, they use these
sensors to find landing sites where the blood is closest to the surface.
The Dragonfly® mimics the human or animal
blood system, which helps lure mosquitoes to the trap. It looks and
smells like the animals mosquitoes prefer, drawing them away from
people. The difference is that when mosquitoes hone in on the target
and stop to dine, they are killed with an electronic pulse and fall
into a removable tray. That's a big advantage over traditional
electrical bug-zapping type traps that splatter mostly beneficial
insects everywhere into tiny bits.
The Dragonfly® weighs 15 pounds and is
approximately 16.5 inches by 16.5 inches by 16.25 inches tall. State
of the art components and advanced materials are used throughout, for
years of safety, reliability and colorfast beauty... even in direct sunlight.
No maintenance is required. A patented microprocessor controls the
emission of CO2, octenol and the thermal image generated by the Dragonfly®.
No matter what the temperature, the microprocessor maintains these
attractants at optimal levels: To a mosquito, the Dragonfly®
always looks like a shaved rabbit!
The dragonfly® features 2 operating modes:
If mosquitoes are active during daytime hours, the machine can be
switched to constant on and will run day and
night. Otherwise, The machine can run on automatic for
computer managed efficiency.
In addition, the dosage of CO2 attractant released can be controlled:
You can select high level for periods of heavy
infestation, and medium level or lower level
for periods of normal infestation.

The Dragonfly® is quiet and easy to
operate. Follow some simple placement instructions, then the only
additional equipment needed is an electrical outlet. Control lights
indicate operating mode and warn when CO2 level is low.
The Dragonfly® is CUL approved. It uses
115/230 volts and 50Hz/60Hz electricity. Consumption is comparable to
a 40 watt light bulb.
The unit operates in a non toxic mode of action. The patented
attractants are registered with the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for controlling mosquitoes and other biting
insects. The CO2 (not supplied) is easily available from soft drink
distributors, welding shop suppliers or from one of Praxair locations.
With the Dragonfly Mosquito System®, you
can protect your family without harming other beneficial insects or
the environment.
The Dragonfly Mosquito System® combines
the Dragonfly® and the Mosquito
'Cognito®. This one-two punch
offers the most efficient and cost effective system on the market.
The Dragonfly® features a one
year parts and labor warranty, a three year limited
warranty on the housing, and a 30-day satisfaction or your
money back guarantee. Very few competitors are sufficiently
confident about their product to offer this type of warranty.
