With health epidemics in the news everyday and warmer weather around the corner, mosquito-borne West Nile virus West Nile virus, microorganism and the infection resulting from it, which typically produces no symptoms or a flulike condition. The virus is a flavivirus and is related to a number of viruses that cause encephalitis. is sure to be on everyone's mind. In fact, infected birds, first to show signs of the virus, have already been found in several states and experts predict that the virus, which was detected in 44 states last year, will likely reach all 48 contiguous states this season. In 2002, there were 4,161 human West Nile cases and 277 West Nile-related deaths.(1) American Biophysics biophysics, application of various methods and principles of physical science to the study of biological problems. In physiological biophysics physical mechanisms have been used to explain such biological processes as the transmission of nerve impulses, the muscle Corporation, the pioneer in carbon dioxide-based (CO2) mosquito abatement technology and the leading manufacturer of biting insect abatement traps, announced today the Mosquito Magnet(R) Defender, the latest addition to the Mosquito Magnet(R) family of insect control traps providing homeowners with continuous, 24-hour control from mosquitoes, no-see-ums, black flies and other biting insects in a 1/2 acre area. The Mosquito Magnet(R) traps are backed by more than 12 years of extensive scientific research and testing and are the gold standard in carbon dioxide-based mosquito control products for consumer and commercial users. Independent studies show the Mosquito Magnet(R) is up to 50 times more effective than other mosquito abatement traps, including sonic devices and other carbon dioxide-based traps on the market. "Our traps are currently used by the U.S. military, national zoos and parks, universities, homeowners and various businesses," said Raymond Iannetta, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of American Biophysics Corporation. "The Defender trap is a direct response to customers that asked us to develop a trap to protect a smaller area, was more affordable and equally as effective as all of our models." The Defender, like all Mosquito Magnet(R) traps, catalytically converts propane gas into CO2, the primary attractant attractant a material used to attract animals for capture purposes. for mosquitoes and biting insects, heat and moisture, a combination proven to be irresistible to female biting insects. The Mosquito Magnet (R)is the ONLY mosquito abatement trap on the market that utilizes patented CounterFlow(TM) technology, which works by dispersing a precise plume of the CO2, heat and moisture, while simultaneously vacuuming the mosquitoes and biting insects into a net where they dehydrate dehydrate /de·hy·drate/ (de-hi´drat) to remove water from (a compound, the body, etc.). de·hy·drate v. 1. To remove water from; make anhydrous. 2. . The trap begins capturing mosquitoes, no-see-ums, black flies and midges midges see ceratopogonidae and culicoides. immediately, and dramatically reduces the mosquito and biting insect populations in a 4 to 6 week period. By operating the Mosquito Magnet(R) continuously 24-hours per day, the trap effectively interrupts the biting insects' breeding cycle. The Defender has an easy 3-step assembly process and uses UV resistant high-grade PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. industrial strength plastics that protect the trap making it suitable and durable for all weather conditions. The silent, odorless o·dor·less adj. Having no odor. o  dor·less·ly adv.o and user-friendly trap features an easy-to-bury 50-foot electrical cord that plugs into a standard electrical outlet. The electricity is automatically converted into a low voltage, similar to the voltage of a clock radio. The trap is most effective if started and run continuously once temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Mosquito Magnet(R) Defender is made in the USA and retails for $295.00. It is available at more than 5,000 outlets in the U.S. and Canada including Home Depot, Sears, participating True Value Stores, Ace Hardware, Target and through Frontgate catalogue and local propane dealers. American Biophysics Corporation, founded in 1991 and headquartered in East Greenwich, RI, is a scientific, research-based company that studies the behavior of biting insects and manufactures CO2 insect abatement traps for consumer, commercial and government applications.
