Most times it is not a defective part.. It is either that the igniter which came loose or the filter.. located just behind the sprayer is dirty. The only parts available through Mosquito Magnet are the CO2 and the Attractant packets. If ound that by going one E-Bay I found bothe the CO2 cartridges and a refill kit for the the attractant packet... The refill kits was LOTS cheaper than buying new packets!!! The seller is fjp800. I boutght item number 170216533615. It was REAL easy to refill the attractant packet.. which can be done over and over again!

None-although you will get some results. The smaller flies are not as attracted to the UV like houseflies. You need to locate the source. Any good pest guy can find it. Once they stop breeding, they will disappear in short order.
