The Coleman Company has been in business for over 100 years and is a well-respected name for outdoor gear. Now the developers at Coleman have brought their creativity and initiative into the realm of mosquito control. Municipalities are taking extreme measures and spending large quantities of money in the fight against mosquitoes and the West Nile virus they carry. Without the huge availability of funds that the government seems to have, what can the average citizen do to make his or her backyard or campground a safer place for relaxation and recreation?
Ann Walden, spokesperson for Coleman discusses the newest recruit to the mosquito battle. Coleman developed the Mosquito Deleto system to control mosquitoes by attracting them to a trap and repelling them for your recreational area. Using the mosquito's natural abilities against her, the Mosquito Deleto attracts and traps mosquitoes 24/7. Female mosquitoes are attracted to their prey by body heat and carbon dioxide, the natural byproduct of breathing. The Mosquito Deleto produces a small amount of heat and carbon dioxide, combined with a mosquito attractant to lure mosquitoes to a sticky trap--no poisons, no mess. The second part of the Mosquito Deleto system is a repellant that you use in your outside areas. Start it up about 30 minutes before going outside for maximum results. This one-two punch repels the mosquitoes from your area and attracts them to the trap. |
