What is The Best Mosquito Killer?

Tents in the woods

With warm summer weather, we spend more and more time outdoors barbequing, around a bonfire, camping, or simply entertaining guests on the back patio. What’s more annoying than those mosquitos that won’t leave you alone? Or bug spray you constantly have to re-apply, leaving you stinky and sticky?

If you aren’t prepared, you’re left with irritating bug bites and next-day itchiness. Even worse, those pesky mosquitos drive you to stay inside. Stinger® Insect Control products are the best solution for killing mosquitos and other flying insects!


How Do Mosquitos Find Us?

Mosquito Sucking blood

Humans and other animals put off carbon dioxide. Mosquitos can sense carbon dioxide from 75 feet away which helps them locate us. Our breath and sweat produce heat and humidity around our bodies. The heat and humidity around our bodies contain lactic acid and octenol, which attracts mosquitoes. Once they’ve found us, only female mosquitos bite, using the protein in our blood to make their eggs. Mosquitos also thrive in areas with stagnant water and moisture like kiddie pools, buckets, and barrels. Lastly, mosquitos are attracted to black clothing, so wearing lighter colored clothes that cover the skin can prevent bug bites. Although, if desperate, mosquitos can puncture clothing.

Fun Facts about Mosquitos


Why Is Stinger Different than Other Insect Control Devices?

Scientifically Tested & Proven by entomologists

Stinger wants to ensure the statements on their packages are actually true, and that’s why they’ve put Stinger products through extensive scientific field testing. Entomologists running these tests have proven that Stinger provides the coverage and levels of effectiveness they say they do. 

For example, Stinger Zappers have powerful killing grids that use a transformer technology that covers 1+ acres with strong, continuous zapping. This type of zapping is necessary for effective killing and is not the same zap bugs are used to.

Other Features:

EnergySmart™ Sundown Sensor

Some Stinger products come with the Sundown Sensor which automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn saving you money on your energy bills.

New Killing Grid

Bug zappers are known to clog up with dead insects reducing the effectiveness of the device. Stinger insect control devices have new single killing grids with larger openings at the bottom of the unit allowing dead insects to easily fall through after they’ve been zapped.

NOquito

NOsquito by Stinger

Octenol is known to attract mosquitos and this lure contains 5x more octenol than other leading competitors.

New Designs

Stinger has designed their insect control devices with comfort and style in mind. Most bug zappers are an eye sore, but Stinger has designed their products to look like they belong in your outdoor living space.
