No, the system is entirely passive. It operates without batteries, cords, or sprays, relying solely on the bait station design and the included refill bands to manage the mosquito population.

A single station is designed to cover up to 4,300 square feet. For larger yards or properties, you may need to place multiple stations to ensure consistent coverage across the entire space.

The station is low-maintenance, requiring only water and a new refill band once every 30 days. Each kit comes with four refill bands, providing four months of continuous protection.

While the station begins working as soon as it is set up, it is a population management system rather than an instant exterminator. It typically takes about nine days to eliminate adult mosquitoes and disrupt the breeding cycle at the source.

Yes, the station is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. However, as with any pest control product, it should be placed in a location that is inaccessible to pets and children to prevent accidental contact with the internal components.
