Proper Dispenser Placement

The Skeeter Defeater

™

Dispenser 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 the Dispenser is set to the DUSK/DAWN

+ Remote Power Setting, the Dispenser 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 Dispenser 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 Dispenser 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

aerosol containers will ﬁ t into the Spray

Head of the Dispenser 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 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.
