Mosquito Magnet 400 defenderSimilar to the smaller MM4000 Defender, the Liberty features wheels for easy transportation.

Mosquito magnets can use Lurex attractant . This is important if you live in an area infiltrated by Asian Tiger mosquitos - a species which is active in the daytime and can breed in running water - as they are more effectively caught using Lurex than Ocetnol.
