American Biophysics, the company that manufactures the Mosquito Magnet Mosquito Trap is in receivership and was auctioned to Woodstream Corp.
Furthermore, I've been told by inside sources that current owners of the Mosquito Magnet products sold under the American Biophysics brand will no longer have warranties on their units.
We are running low on SV-5000 units. We expect to be sold out by the end of May. There will be no more availability until later on this year.
We do have plenty of SV-3000 and some SV-35 in inventory.
The Skeetervac SV-5000 and the SV-3000 now accept third party baits such as the Lurex3™.
This is a secondary attractant that mimics skin emissions. The bait is typically used when you have problems with the Aedes albopictus or "Asian Tiger" mosquito which are particularly hard to trap using conventional baits.
Adults are known as tiger mosquitoes due to their patterns of very black bodies with white stripes. Also, there is a distinctive single white band (stripe) down the length of the back. Check with your Mosquito control district office to be sure.
If you have the Asian Tiger in your area, you may want to purchase the Lurex3™ bait through the following link from Amazon.com.
