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

Questions
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?
4 years agoA: I tried it wide open for about 5 days. Halfway for 6 and just closed it all the way tonight. This is 12 days running https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcla7nzkvkkjbys/20210527_191947.jpg?dl=0

Q: what powers the fan and light
4 years agoA: Propane, no cords required. Most likely uses a Seebeck generator (thermal electric generator) to power the electronic portions.

Q: Does it suck in bees as well? We have some hives and I wouldn't want to risk losing my bees
3 years agoA: It barely sucks in mosquitos. Bees may get stuck on the outside though Year two of using this and it is not working as expected. Waste of propane as it is not keeping mosquitos at bay...

Q: How do you effectively clean out the vacuum mesh basket trap without setting free the live mosquitoes that are buzzing on top of the pile of dead ones
14 years agoA: 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.

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?
14 years agoA: 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.

Q: Why has Canadian Tire decided to no longer carry the Tactrap and Lure needed to keep the SkeeterVac operating?
16 years agoA: 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.

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!
16 years agoA: 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.

Q: how long does it take to clear an area approximately 20 metres in diameter?
17 years agoA: 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 luck
