A Mosquito Magnet ® is a commercial biting insect abatement system. The device uses a standard 20-pound tank of propane to emit a warm, moist stream of carbon dioxide, heat, octenol attractant (registered EPA pesticide) and moisture that pests mistake for the exhaled breath of their warm-blooded prey.
