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. Do not cover the front of the remote with your

ﬁ nger while pressing the button.

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

™

Automatic Dispenser

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 Automatic Dispenser 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 Automatic Dispenser

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 Automatic Dispenser 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.
