Mosquito Magnet® Freedom

Unit Breakdown
Trumpet and Plume Tube

Trumpet/Plume Tube

This image shows the three main parts under the trap.

  • Attractant Carrier - This is where you would place the added attractant that comes with the trap.
  • Plume Tube - When CO2 is forced out of the CO2 output tube on the power pack, it flows through the CO2 tube in the housing it then comes out the plume tube. As the CO2 flows past the Attractant Carrier there are air holes on the attractant carrier that allows the CO2 to flow through and pick up the attractant as it flows out of the plume tube.
  • Trumpet - This is where you can feel the vacuum as mosquitoes are drawn into and sucked into the net. This is where you would do the tissue test to check the vacuum. Use a small piece of tissue, around the size of a dime. Hold the tissue under and about a half inch into the trumpet and let it go. The piece of tissue should be vacuumed into the net. If it was not check our troubleshooting steps for this issue.
