Proper Dispenser Placement
The Skeeter Defeater™ works very well in
most outdoor settings. Hang the Dispenser
six feet above the ground, out of reach of
children and pets, or place on a sturdy fl at
surface fi ve to six feet above the ground.
The Skeeter Defeater Dispenser hangs easily
from shepherd’s hooks, fence posts, awnings
and other similar hardware. And because it
has a fl at base, you can also set the Skeeter
Defeater Dispenser on high ledges, columns
and other high surfaces.
Important: when Dispenser is set to “DUSK/DAWN + Remote”
power setting, the unit must be placed in direct sunlight to
perform at an optimal level.
The DUSK/DAWN
®
Sensor is a highly advanced device that measures
even the smallest changes in light. By placing the unit in direct sunlight,
you allow for the Dispenser to receive the best possible information
when determining dusk and dawn each day. With this in mind, it is best
to not place the Dispenser in heavily shaded areas.
Direct the Nozzle to spray toward the target area, and away from
swimming pools, water bodies, and eating and cooking areas. One
Skeeter Defeater Dispenser effectively treats up to 300 sq ft. Even
though the Skeeter Defeater sprays in one direction, the insecticide will
disperse and actually cover 360 degrees around the Dispenser when
used in proper weather conditions. The diagram on page 7 shows a
typical yard and the possible coverage areas for one Skeeter Defeater
Dispenser. Multiple Dispensers may be used to treat an entire outdoor
area (and can be controlled by a single Remote Control), but do not use
more than one Dispenser for every 300 square feet of space. To reduce
wind exposure, some people point the Skeeter Defeater toward their
house, and then allow the insecticide to rebound off the walls and cover
additional areas in the yard.

Understanding the Cylinder Refi ll Unit
(CRU)
The Cylinder Refi ll Unit (CRU) serves as the “ammo”
for your Skeeter Defeater™ Dispenser, and is
sold separately. It contains pyrethrin, a botanical
insecticide that kills mosquitoes on contact. The
CRU is designed to work exclusively with
the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser; no other
insecticide containers will fi t into the Spray
Head of the Skeeter Defeater and work
properly. The CRU comes with a spray button
and can be used apart from the Dispenser to spray
outdoor areas by hand. It is necessary to remove
this spray button before inserting the CRU into the
Dispenser.
Replacing the CRU
The CRU will last for approximately 66 sprays when used with the
Dispenser. If you spray the Dispenser twice a day (dusk and dawn),
the CRU will last 33 days. The Indicator Light will blink once every four
seconds once the unit has been sprayed 54 times to notify you of the
upcoming need for a replacement CRU. You can purchase additional
CRUs where you purchased your Dispenser, at various retail outlets and
online at SkeeterDefeater.com.
Note: The internal counter found in the Dispenser counts sprays since last
powering on the unit. Therefore, if you turn off the power of the Dispenser
and then turn it back on without changing the CRU, the counter will be set
to zero. In this instance, the Indicator Light would not blink at the right time
to let you know your CRU is almost empty.
