Introduction to the MKS...

• The MKS can reduce mosquito population in a one-acre area.

• The MKS uses carbon dioxide to mimic respiration and cycles through various body temperatures every 6 to 9 minutes.

• It attracts mosquitoes, then vacuums them into the unit where they are quickly and quietly eliminated.

• 17 years of research and development

• Developed with technical assistance from NASA.

• The MKS does not use harmful pesticides or chemicals.

• The MKS is equipped with an energy efficient photocell that turns the unit on at dusk and off at dawn.

• Made from high-grade aluminum/Steel.

MKS Specifications...

• 14” diameter x 54” tall

• 28 kg.

• Uses a standard 220v outlet.

• Uses a refillable 9.1kg. carbon dioxide tank.

• Fabricated from high grade aluminum/Steel.

• UL listed.

• One-year factory warranty.

How it works...

• The MKS uses the mosquito’s natural hunting techniques of heat sensing and carbon dioxide detection.

• The unit mimics the body temperatures and breathing of humans, livestock, poultry, and domesticated pets.

• The photocell powers up the MKS, beginning the cycle of mimicking body heat and respiration.

• The MKS simulates the breathing of warm-blooded mammals by the release of carbon dioxide.

• Every 6 to 9 minutes the MKS cycles through various body temperatures to attract the mosquito.

• Through thermal imagery, and the release of CO2 the mosquito is attracted to the unit.

5

How it works...

• Once inside the unit, the fan forces the mosquito through the machine.

• Mosquitoes are killed when they pass through the electrocution grid.

• The remains are then expelled through the bottom of the unit and returned to the environment.

MKS Respiration Cycles...

• After dusk, the photo-sensor cell turns the MKS on.

• The unit emits carbon dioxide for 2 minutes, with fan off, then stops for 1-1/2 minutes, with fan on

• This cycle repeats for 5 hours.

• After this 5 hour cycle, the fan runs continuously the rest of the night. Heat only

• The MKS produces various animal body signatures every 6 to 9 minutes.

• This cycle continues for the remainder of the night.

• The MKS must go back to sleep mode in order to reset the release of carbon dioxide. It should be off for 15 minutes.

7

The capture net...

• The capture net should be used to determine the best place to reduce the mosquito problem.

8

Where to place the MKS...

• The MKS needs to be near any outdoor activity.

• Do not restrict the airflow to the MKS by sitting the unit on the ground or a table or using the Capture net for the duration.

• Place the MKS near an area of heavy infestation of mosquitoes.

• Having the MKS in place at the beginning of the mosquito season will make the MKS more effective.

• If planning an outdoor event, have the MKS in place at least 14 days prior for best results.

• Place the MKS in shaded areas for best results.

• Do not place the MKS so that you are downwind from it.

9

Safety Information...

• The MKS is equipped with a 3-prong ground plug and must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in order to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

• If an extension cord is required to power the MKS, a proper extension cord must be used.

• Do not place the MKS next to or within 10 feet of a swimming pool or standing water.

• The MKS is listed with the Underwriter Laboratory (UL) and international certifications

Mosquito information...

• Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and carbon dioxide.

• Mosquitoes are known carriers of human diseases such as Malaria, Encephalitis, Chikangunya , Dengue, Ross Fever and West Nile Virus.

• The female mosquito can lay up to 300 eggs at one time.

• The female mosquito can produce up to 3,000 offspring in her life span.

• Most mosquito species usually remain within 100 yards of where they hatch.

Frequently Asked Questions...

• How does the MKS really work?The MKS creates a source of heat and carbon dioxide that attracts female mosquitoes.

• What insects will the MKS attract?The MKS will attract insects that are attracted to heat and carbon dioxide. Primarily the female mosquito, No-See-Ums, gnats, and biting flies.

• Does the MKS harm the environment in any way?No, the MKS uses carbon dioxide which mimics breathing.

• Does the placement of the MKS affect the results?Yes, mosquitoes look for the nearest source of heat and carbon dioxide. The closer the MKS is placed to mosquitoes, the better it works.

Frequently Asked Questions...

• Is the MKS expensive to maintain?No, electricity and carbon dioxide are the only expenses for the MKS. The use of electricity breaks down to about Rs.90 to 140/- per month. The cost to fill a carbon dioxide tank is approximately Rs.450.00.

“The MKS is plugged in but it seems to keep turning on and off. Is it working properly?”The MKS has a unique operating cycle. The MKS emits carbon dioxide for 2 minutes, then stops for 1-1/2 minutes. The MKS then produces various animal body heat signatures every 6 to 9 minutes via its heat blanket. The fan runs for 1-1/2 minutes and shuts off for 2 minutes while carbon dioxide is being released for the first 5 hours. Then the MKS stops releasing carbon dioxide and the fan will run continuous with body heat signatures for the remainder of the night.
