How to fix a Mosquito Magnet PATRIOT PLUS Lawn and Garden Equipment that won't start?

  If your Mosquito Magnet® lawn and garden equipment won’t start, the tank regulator might not be fully engaged. Ensure the regulator is fully engaged, and the propane tank valve is fully open. The propane tank may be empty or need to be purged. Hand tighten the propane tank regulator until slightly snug. The fuel line may be blocked by propane contaminants.

  First, check if the propane tank is empty by weighing it against the 'empty' weight marked on the tank. If the propane tank is new, it might have an air blockage and need purging at a filling location. If the tank has been opened too quickly, try disconnecting and reconnecting the regulator, then slowly open the regulator valve. Also, ensure the power cord is properly plugged in and meets the unit's power requirements. Finally, check for loose connections, ensuring the regulator is fully engaged and the propane tank valve is fully open.

What to do if my Mosquito Magnet Lawn and Garden Equipment has low or no catch?

  If your Mosquito Magnet is catching few or no insects, consider these points: * Verify the temperature is consistently above 50°F (10°C), as insects may not be out yet. * Make sure that trap is properly placed. * Biting insects reproductive cycles have not yet been broken, so keep the trap in constant operation 24 hours/day, 7 days/week for 4 weeks to interrupt the breeding cycle.

Why is my Mosquito Magnet Lawn and Garden Equipment Patriot Plus not catching any mosquitoes?

  Katherine RushAug 13, 2025
  Several factors could be at play. First, verify that the temperature is consistently above 50°F (10°C), as insects may not be active below this temperature. The trap placement is also important, but there is no information on how to place the trap. Also, to effectively break the breeding cycle, keep the trap running constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for at least 4 weeks.

  If your Mosquito Magnet Patriot Plus won’t start, here are a few things to check: * First, weigh the propane tank to ensure it's not empty, comparing it against the 'empty' weight marked on the tank. * If the propane tank is new, it might have an air blockage. Take the tank to a filling location and ask for it to be purged. * If the tank was opened too quickly, the security check valve might have triggered. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect it, then slowly open the regulator valve. * Check that the power cord is properly plugged in and that you're using the correct power requirements for your unit. * Also, verify all electrical connections and ensure the regulator is fully engaged, with the propane tank valve fully open.
