out much more about the Dragonfly II
The Dragonfly II System 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 II 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. Note: CO2 must be purchased separately
The Dragonfly II 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 II 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 II.
No matter what the temperature, the microprocessor maintains these
attractants at optimal levels: To a mosquito, the Dragonfly II
always looks like a shaved rabbit!
The dragonfly II features 8 operating modes:
The machine can be switched to either evening, or night, or
afternoon so that it automatically runs only when mosquitoes
are present. 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 or areas of heavy
infestation, and or moderate level for periods or areas
of normal infestation. Finally, it can be set to work without CO2, by
only using the patented insect lure and the infra-red attractant.
The Dragonfly II 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 II is CUL approved. It can be
shipped in compliance with the Unites States electrical standard.
(115 volts and 60Hz). 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 WalMart,
Dick's Sporting Goods, Lowe's or other stores. Some locations fill
empty bottles, but most locations exchange full bottles for empty ones.
With the Dragonfly Mosquito System, you can protect your family
without harming other beneficial insects or the environment.
The Dragonfly II 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. See return policy
