The Mosquito Magnet® Patriot is easy to use—just plug it in, push the button, relax and enjoy your yard!  A 50-foot 12-volt power cord, supplied with the Patriot, allows placement away from the family area yet near the mosquitoes' breeding and resting areas.  Lawn clips are provided to help secure your power cord.  Through proper placement upwind, the biting insects will be drawn to the trap; thereby reducing the chances of you becoming their target.  The heavy-duty plastics and marine grade materials make it ideal for any harsh environments.
