FAQ

Customer service support, Most frequently asked questions about the arctic mosquito killing system
 
  1. How does the Mosquito Killing System work?
    The system creates a source of fluctuating heat and releases pure CO2 (carbon Dioxide) in the proportions that the female blood sucking mosquito is genetically programmed to find. The MKS mimics the mosquito�s prey by producing different �Body Signatures�, such as, temperature and breathing of humans, poultry, livestock and pets. The MKS cycles every six to nine minutes, ranging from 85-110 degrees, producing the different body signatures, and releases a scientifically measured plume of 750 CC of CO2 every minute to simulate breathing. Mosquitoes also have infrared vision, therefore the fluctuating heat chamber in the MKS uses the mosquitoes� thermal imagery (Infrared Vision) to attract them to the trap. Once near the trap, the mosquito will also detect a slight air current triggering yet another instinct that movement means a meal. The system also has a textured surface to simulate skin. Mosquitoes land and are super-attracted to the unit. They will even attempt to probe the unit before being vacuumed in.
     
  2. What insects will the Mosquito Killing System eradicate?
    Insects that are attracted to heat and CO2, which is primarily the female mosquito, No-See-Ums, gnats and biting flies
     
  3. Does the Mosquito Killing System harm the environment in any way?
    No, unlike those systems that use propane or chemicals, the MKS and its CO2 emission is like simply having a person or pet in your yard.
     
  4. Does the placement of the MKS affect the results?
    Yes.  Mosquitoes look for the easiest source of heat and CO2, so the closer to the source of the mosquitoes, the better it works.
     
  5. Is it possible to control mosquitoes in an area?
    Yes.  Studies have shown that 90% of the biting mosquitoes live within about 100 yards of where they hatch, therefore the local population can be drastically reduced.
     
  6. Is the Mosquito Killing System expensive to use?
    No.  CO2 and electricity are the only expense to run the unit.  Costs for each of these vary by market. Electrical usage is similar to most household appliances. 
     
  7. How many mosquitoes will the MKS kill?
    Specific numbers are impossible to predict.  The heavier the mosquito population, naturally, the more it will kill.  For example, in some areas the MKS will kill 200 mosquitoes per night, while in other areas the MKS will kill 15,000 mosquitoes in one night.
     
  8. Will the MKS kill all mosquitoes?
    No.  It will never kill all mosquitoes.  The MKS reduces the mosquito population.  For example, one mosquito can reproduce up to 3,000 offspring.  So for every mosquito the MKS kills it reduces the population by 3,000. You may also continue to see male mosquitoes however they do not �bite�.
     
  9. How large an area will one MKS protect?
    The MKS will protect an area of approximately one acre depending on breeding sites, shrubbery, fences, buildings, environmental changes, winds and temperatures.  Depending on the size of the property and the terrain, it could take more than one unit to reduce the mosquito population in some areas. However, much of this is dependant more on the mosquito than it is on the MKS. Therefore, it�s not whether or not the MKS sufficiently covers one acre or not, it has to do with the territorial instincts of the mosquito. Mosquitoes don�t travel far and they typically stay within about 100 yards of where they hatch, thus the trap can reduce the mosquito population within their normal travel and feeding range or �territory�. If that is up to 100� or so in each direction, that means it covers approximately one acre.

    Once it has reduced the population on your property, it then stands guard as a maintenance system working to catch and destroy any new mosquitoes that may cross over into the territory searching for a new nesting area or a blood meal.
     

  10. How is the MKS different from a bug zapper?
    A bug zapper operates by using light as its attractant for all types of insects including beneficial insects but ultimately attract very few mosquitoes.  Mosquitoes are not attracted to light therefore the MKS does not use light as an attractant. However, mosquitoes do have infrared vision, therefore the fluctuating heat chamber in the MKS does use the mosquitoes thermal imagery to attract them to the trap.
     
  11. What kind of mosquitoes does the MKS kill?
    The MKS kills most species and has been tested worldwide.
     
  12. What tests have been conducted to prove the MKS kills mosquitoes?
    Tests have been conducted by Dr. Richard Weber, PhD Entomologist, Dr. Dan Markowski, PhD Entomologist at Vector Disease Control, Dr. Larry Olsen, Arkansas State University in Jonesboro; Dr. Chris Tipping, PhD Entomologist at the University of Florida in Gainesville; University of Illinois, University of Missouri, University of Arkansas, disease tracking agencies and the unit has been tested in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. These tests have all proven the MKS to be the most effective mosquito control solution available.

    Additionally, this is not a new product. Most importantly are the thousands of residential and commercial customers worldwide who have experienced the effectiveness of the MKS first hand. The system is currently protecting the Belmont Park Racetrack in NY, U.S. Postal facility at the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport, Giant Steps Daycare in AR, Professional Tennis Instruction School in FL, Health Clinics and numerous other commercial applications as well as thousands of residential properties worldwide.
     

  13. What happens to the dead mosquitoes?
    The mosquito carcasses fall out of the unit to the ground and are disposed of by nature. (i.e. ground insects, wind or reintroduction back into the soil). Or they are captured by the net when it is being utilized.
     
  14. Can the photo-sensor cell be bypassed?  How?
    Yes.  A plastic cap, which comes with the unit, can be placed over the photo-sensor cell, which enables the machine to run continuously.  If bypassing the photo-sensor cell the unit would need to be placed on a timer to reset every 5 hours by turning the machine off for 2 minutes and then turning it back on.
     
  15. Does the MKS require maintenance?
    No.  The MKS unit is maintenance free.
     
  16. How long is the power supply cord?  Is it grounded?
    The power supply cord is 6 ft long.  Yes, the power supply cord is grounded.
     
  17. Will the MKS harm my kids or pets?
    No.  The MKS is completely safe around pets, children and livestock.
     
  18. How does service and warranty work?
    The customer will be supplied with a warranty information card with their purchase. There is a toll free number provided on the warranty card, with a full and complete description of the terms and conditions of the warranty that is provided.  Once the customer calls the service center with a question, comment or concern, they will be advised on how to proceed.
     
  19.  Does the MKS have a Money-Back Guarantee? How does it work?
    Yes. 100% GUARANTEED to kill mosquitoes or your MONEY BACK!

    The only issues with this have turned out to be placement of the unit. On occasion you will need to instruct the customer to move the unit to a new area or if you have a service contract on it you may choose to relocate the unit for your customer in order to increase the kill ratio.

    Also keep in mind, your customer may continue to occasionally see mosquitoes, however they may not be the female biting mosquito, or may have just recently entered the area.
