Initial Set Up (cont.)
3-Way Power Switch and Use
The Skeeter Defeater™ Dispenser offers three power settings for
complete control and customization as you desire.
1. OFF (Center Position) – Set the Dispenser to the “OFF”
position whenever mosquitoes are not present, or when winds
exceed or may exceed 5 miles per hour (mosquitoes stay
sheltered when winds are higher than 5 miles per hour), or
whenever people, pets or food are present.
2. REMOTE ONLY (Left Position) – The Indicator Light will
blink once when the Power Switch is set to this position.
The Remote Control (included) allows you to initiate the
spray sequence from up to 50 feet away from the Dispenser,
whether you’re indoors or outdoors. One Remote Control
will work on multiple Skeeter Defeater Dispensers. To initiate,
press the button on the Remote Control. The Remote Control
light will stay lit for four seconds as it sends a signal to the
Dispenser.
3. DUSK/DAWN
®
+ REMOTE (Right Position) –
The Indicator Light will blink twice when set to this
position. Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn.
The DUSK/DAWN Sensor on the top of the Spray Head
detects dusk and dawn every day without the need to set
any timers or clocks, initiating the spray sequence. In this
setting, you can also still use the Remote Control for additional
protection (up to two additional sprays a day/four total).
Note: In order to conserve battery power, the Dispenser only powers on every
six seconds to check for a signal. Therefore, it may take up to 10 seconds
for a signal from the remote to initiate the Dispenser spray sequence.
The Dispenser may only be used when pests are present. Do not
spray the insecticide more than four times per day.
Tips and Facts to Optimize the Use of
Your Skeeter Defeater™
Tips for optimizing the use of your Skeeter Defeater Mosquito
Defense Unit:
1. Observe how the Dispenser sprays, and adjust its placement for the best
coverage in your yard specifi cally.
2. Be aware of wind conditions. Mosquitoes generally cannot be in the open
when winds are higher than 5 mph. For best coverage, position the Nozzle
on the Dispenser to spray downwind.
3. The Skeeter Defeater is portable and easy to maintain – it’s a great item to
take camping and to use on patios and decks.
4. When used as directed, the Skeeter Defeater operates for less than 50
cents a day.
5. Weather conditions that cause unusually dark skies (such as storms) can
sometimes trick the DUSK/DAWN
®
Sensor. The sensor measures the light
for 10 minutes at a time to help minimize this issue, but it is still possible for
dark skies to initiate the sensor and for the Dispenser to release the spray
at a time other than dusk or dawn. It is recommended to turn the unit off
when such situations arise.
6. The expected battery life for the Remote Control is two years. When you
need to replace your Remote Control, you can purchase a new one at
SkeeterDefeater.com.
7. Dispenser batteries last for approximately two months when used regularly.
It is suggested to change batteries every other time you replace the CRU.
8. The Skeeter Defeater works best as part of an integrated pest
management program. Don’t entice mosquitoes to come to your yard
– drain standing water on a regular basis.
9. Place the unit in direct sunlight for optimal usage. If you want to treat
shaded areas, remember to place the Dispenser in open sunlight and point
toward the shaded area; do not place the Dispenser in the shaded area.
10. Always point the nozzle away from you when replacing the CRU, and be
sure the Dispenser is turned off.
