Sometimes people who are especially attractive to mosquitoes are colloquially referred to as "mosquito magnets." The "Mosquito Magnet" is a patented mosquito trap, made by American Biophysics It's a machine that uses propane gas to mimic the C02, heat, and moistures that attracts mosquitoes to people. Then it vaccums the bugs into a net where they eventually die. They are not cheap. You need a new tank of propane ($15) and a lure ($4) every 21 days. You need some other supplies periodically. The machines sell for between $300 and $1500 depending on model.

Where can you get your mosquito magnet fixed?

Hello; When I had trouble I googled mosquito magnet and got there home page. They dont seem to fix them but they have a list of authorized places. I live in Mass. so there were 5 places (all the same company) Josephs Hardware. They were really knowledgable and real nice people. They fixed my machine for a fraction of buying a new one, and they taught me a better way of maintaining my machine. They gave me alot of info that Mosquito Magnet doesn't even seem to know. This company even has a Josephs in Florida. They seem to be the best at fixing them. Good Luck!
