The Skeeter Hawk Backyard Mosquito Bait Station (SKE-TUB-0001) is a pest defense product designed to attract and control mosquitoes and other flying insects in outdoor environments. It utilizes advanced UV LED technology and a specialized bait system to effectively reduce insect populations.
Function Description:
The core function of the Backyard Mosquito Bait Station is to lure mosquitoes and other flying insects using pulsing UV LED light. Once attracted, the insects enter the bait station where they consume a proprietary bait mixture. This system is designed to be a "fierce protection" solution for backyards, contributing to a more comfortable outdoor experience. The device is part of a broader line of Skeeter Hawk mosquito defense products, which also includes traps, zappers, and repellents, offering comprehensive pest control for various situations, including indoors, outdoors, and on-the-go.
Important Technical Specifications:
- SKU: SKE-TUB-0001
- Light Technology: Pulsing UV LED technology for optimum attraction.
- Sensor: Dusk-to-dawn sensor to conserve battery life by keeping the unit off during daylight hours.
- Pulsation Frequency: The UV light pulsates every 4 seconds when active, enhancing its attractiveness to insects.
- Power Source: Requires 3 AAA batteries for operation.
- Bait System: Utilizes a refillable bait station tube containing a mixture that attracts and is consumed by insects.
- Material: Features a sleek, signature ultraviolet enclosure designed to enhance UV light output.
Usage Features:
- Activation: The device is turned ON or OFF by pressing a power button.
- Automatic Operation: The dusk-to-dawn sensor automatically activates the UV light when it gets dark and deactivates it during the day, ensuring efficient battery usage.
- Portability: Equipped with a collapsible carry handle and hanging hook, allowing for easy placement and relocation within the backyard.
- Placement: For an average-sized backyard, it is recommended to place two Backyard Bait Stations equidistant from each other to maximize coverage and effectiveness.
- Bait Preparation: The bait station tube is filled with water up to the "Max Fill Line" after removing a plastic seal. The tube is then shaken until the bait mixture is fully dissolved before being reattached to the UV light module.
- Refilling: As the bait is consumed or evaporates, water can be refilled up to the "Max Fill Line" to maintain effectiveness.
- Bait Replacement: When the bait tube is empty (i.e., water and repellent mixture have reached the "Refill Line"), the tube should be removed from the UV light module and discarded. Replacement Bait Station Tubes (SKE-ACC-0002) are available for continued use.
- Normal Operation Indicators: Crusting on top of the water in the bait tube is a normal reaction to the yeast in the all-natural insecticide mix and does not diminish effectiveness. If desired, the included plastic cap can be placed back on the tube to shake the mixture.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Installation/Replacement:
- Unscrew the top of the UV light module to access the battery compartment.
- Remove old batteries and dispose of them properly.
- Insert 3 new AAA batteries as shown.
- Reattach the top portion of the UV light module.
- Bait Tube Maintenance:
- The bait station tube can be detached from the UV light module by turning it counter-clockwise for cleaning or refilling.
