Product Details
The SkeeterVac SV3100 is a cordless unit that creates its own power to energize the suction fan by converting propane to electricity using a catalytic converter. The byproduct of the propane is CO2 once ran through the catalytic converter. When the fan powers up the exhaust from the fan blows out the unit, CO2 and an attractant called Octenol used in the Bait Block along with heat and moisture is expelled from the SV3100. Mosquitoes are drawn to the CO2, Octenol, moisture and heat thinking it is a mammal. Some mosquitoes will get stuck on the sticky TacTrap which is the black and white portion of the trap surrounding the SV3000 engine. Mosquito research has shown that mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors. The design of the TacTrap with the white and black contrast tends to make mosquitoes fly toward the wider portions of the TacTrap which is where the suction from the fan pulls the mosquitoes into the permanent net where they will dehydrate and die.
SkeeterVac SV-3100C Mosquito Exterminator provides one acre coverage for attracting, trapping and killing biting insects such as mosquitoes, black flies, sand flies, no-see-ums, and biting midges
Cordless, turn on gas at cylinder (sold separately), push multi-spark electronic ignitor, and SkeeterVac starts operating quietly and odour-free
31,000 cc/hr CO2 output for maximum attraction
Includes a cartridge of Octenol which acts as an additional attractant over and above CO2, FineTune allows you to adjust the Octenol release levels to match species in your area
Directional sticky trap binds mosquitoes as they land on it and uses an exclusive contrast pattern to help direct flight paths into the vacuum trap
5-colour LED 'motion' lighting system helps increase attraction levels and works on difficult species like the Asian Tiger mosquito
Wave Trap feature ensures minimal loss in vacuum power, as the trap fills up, air flows unobstructed straight down

It really works!

This is our 2nd one. Last one worked for over 14 years. We never have misquotes in our backyard. Never want to be without one.

Great machine
8 days ago
I bought this a week ago. It works. I first tested it out without the lure inside my screened porch where mosquitoes still were getting it. With just the gas and not using the sticky trap it was still catching them. Then I moved it outside where there is millions of them. I opened the lure just a little bit and put it in. I still didn't take the paper off the sticky trap because tree pollen was still falling and didn't want that to get stuck. I ran it for 5 days before emptying the net. There was a inch of dead mosquitos in the tray. Some were still alive. I couldn't figure out how to empty it without releasing the live ones back. So I loosened all the dead ones, lit a fire in the burning barrel and quickly dumped it into the fire. No idea if the live ones escaped or not. Then I rinsed it and put it back. When I did take the paper off the sticky trap, within a few days the paper was full of stuck mosquitos as they were constantly buzzing around the machine. I'm hoping in a month the population has gone down. We got a lot of snow followed by a lot of rain this year and everywhere is a swamp so the population is high enough to carry someone away. So far I recommend this machine. Only complaint is you can't get a second net to put in the machine and wait till the mosquitos all die in the other net. I've had mosquito magnets in the past and they were really hard to get going and then they would shut down in 10 degrees and after that I rarely was ever able to get them going again. When they worked they worked great but they didn't run and that was the problem.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Your on your own in any service or tech support
14 days ago
Bought this SV3100 in 2022. Kept indoors all winter. This season had to clean it in its entirity. Caught the Utube SV5100 Fix and Learn done by experienced man. Followed to the letter. Reinstalled the 4 tiles with thermal grease used in converting heat to an electric supply for fan lights. The unit ignited and produced the heat however no fan or lights. Called customer service tried to tell me an engine assembly needed to be replaced; $350 US plus shipping; To run a simple fan and led lights? I maintained and stored that trap like any other $700 dollar piece of equipment. Could not find nor would they send me specs/part diagram. You buy this and you are on your own when time to fix or repair. You'll get no technical support in fixing any problem.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Easy Setup & Great First Impressions
25 days ago
Just set this SkeeterVac up and so far I’m impressed. Assembly was quick and straightforward with no major issues, and it was running in no time. I like that it runs off propane and doesn’t require an electrical outlet, which gives a lot more flexibility on where to place it around the yard.
The build quality feels solid and it looks well made. One of the things I’m planning to do is hook it up to my home propane BBQ line eventually so I won’t have to keep swapping propane tanks, which should make it even more convenient for long-term use.
Too early to fully judge the mosquito control results, but first impressions are very positive and I’m excited to see how it performs through the summer.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Q: I bought the Skeetervac SV30 and put it together according to the instructions. I have a lot of bugs around but in 4 days of running 24/7 I've killed more bugs checking it than the trap. Can anyone recommend what to try? Is there a way to increase vacuum?

14 years ago2 Answers
- A: I use the plastic cover supplied trapping the mosquitoes inside, then I hit the screen with a small spray of raid or like product. They will die even if they are released. I then rinse the screen with water.14 years agoHelpful?
Q: Has anyone purchased this as a replacement for the unreliable SV-15 model? Manufacturer told me this model has serviceable parts and a better track record than my unreliable SV-15. So my option is to buy a model that is twice as expensive as the first one I bought that didn't last more than a couple of years?
15 years ago2 Answers
- A: My brother has an SV-15 and my father and I have models like this. Mine is a SV-35 and his is the SV-31 and he regrets not spending the extra money. The effectiveness of the models with fans, traps and lights seems to be much improved over the models which simply burn the propane.11 years agoHelpful?
Q: Why has Canadian Tire decided to no longer carry the Tactrap and Lure needed to keep the SkeeterVac operating?
17 years ago2 Answers
- A: An old question, but figured I'd answer anyway... My Canadian Tire still carries the TacTrap, and they have alternatives to the skeererVac brand of lure.15 years agoHelpful?
Q: Gauge doesn't move - Troubleshooting? After pressing the ignitor and hearing the "poof", the gauge does not move. Is there any troubleshooting that can be done??? Any help is greatly appreciated!
17 years ago2 Answers
- A: Mine hardly moves, been working for 3 seasons, going on the 4th. Ignore it. Press and hold the pilot for a few minutes, you will hear it poof, then gurgle as it lights, then go quiet, then the fan and lights start up. If it goes out during this, restart the process, may take 2-3 times.13 years agoHelpful?
Q: how long does it take to clear an area approximately 20 metres in diameter?
18 years ago2 Answers
- A: As with any thing involving nature it depends on your area and the weather. These have to be kept running for the entire season as skeeters will continue to hatch and migrate from outside your area. It seems to take 2-3 weeks to really get a good start. Once the big early hatches are under control everything just falls into place. I believe I have mine set up in one of the worst places ever and once it clears the area it is awesome 2-3 weeks seems to be the time in my area and conditions. Good luck14 years agoHelpful?
