What is a SkeeterHazer?

Mosquitoes can turn an enjoyable evening outdoors into an annoying experience. Enter the SkeeterHazer—a revolutionary and affordable mosquito repellent system designed to keep those pesky insects at bay. Whether you're relaxing on your balcony, entertaining guests on your porch, or managing a commercial space, the SkeeterHazer offers a convenient solution to deter mosquitoes effectively. Here's everything you need to know about this innovative device.

The SkeeterHazer System: A Breakdown

The SkeeterHazer system comprises two main components:

1. SkeeterHazer-6 Device

  • Design: This sleek, compact device measures just 5.5”W x 7”H x 2.5”D, making it easy to place discreetly in any semi-enclosed space.
  • Power Options: It can run on batteries or be plugged into an outlet, providing flexibility for different setups.
  • Capacity: The device holds 6 fluid ounces of the mosquito-repellent fluid, sufficient to cover areas ranging from 50 to 500 square feet.
  • Programmable Features: Using Bluetooth, you can program the device to automatically turn on and off at specific times during the day or night, ensuring continuous protection even when you’re not around.

2. SkeeterHazer-Fluid

  • Composition: This fluid is a specially formulated mosquito repellent with a fresh scent. It’s designed to be used with the SkeeterHazer-6 device and produces a fine vapor that effectively deters mosquitoes.
  • Usage: Ideal for semi-enclosed residential spaces like balconies, porches, terraces, and garages, as well as commercial spaces such as breezeways, ventilated warehouses, and covered loading docks.
  • Safety: The fluid is made from essential oils commonly used in scent marketing and personal care products. It's considered a minimum-risk pesticide and is exempt from registration with the EPA under FIFRA 25(b). However, it’s important to use the fluid as directed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How Does It Work?

The SkeeterHazer-6 device and fluid work together to create a fine vapor “haze” that lingers in the air. This haze repels mosquitoes within the treated area, keeping them from biting you. Here’s a closer look at how it works:

  • Hazing Action: The device emits a haze (less than one micron in size), which disperses the active ingredients into the air. These ingredients then interact with mosquitoes, driving them away from the treated space.
  • Circulation: Using fans on low speed, such as ceiling or floor fans, helps circulate the haze throughout the area, maximizing its effectiveness.
  • Programmable Settings: You can control the device using a smartphone or tablet, setting different intensities and schedules for multiple days of the week. This ensures that the device is working optimally, even when you're not actively managing it.

Ideal Placement

For best results, place the SkeeterHazer device in a semi-enclosed outdoor living space, away from the most open areas and any food preparation zones. It can be mounted on a wall using the included bracket or placed on a flat surface. You can plug it in or use batteries if the best location is not near an outlet. Avoid placing it too close to the ceiling (maintain at least 1 foot of clearance) to prevent staining.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use the SkeeterHazer outside in the open?

While the device is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. We recommend using it in semi-enclosed areas, as windy conditions can disperse the haze, reducing its effectiveness. However, for calm nights or camping trips, it can still be used effectively in open spaces with an increased intensity setting.

2. How much fluid do I need?

Fluid consumption depends on how you program the device. A typical year-round operation, 12 hours per day under a 10-foot-high ceiling, would require a varying amount based on the openness of your space. It's recommended to winterize the device in colder climates when temperatures drop below freezing.

3. Can I add water or other oils to the fluid?

No, adding water or other oils may damage the device and void the warranty. The SkeeterHazer-6 is designed specifically for 100% oil-based fluids.

4. Does the haze smell bad?

The scent is a mild combination of cinnamon, mint, and clove, formulated to be neutral while effectively repelling mosquitoes.

5. How do I refill the bottle?

Simply remove the nozzle assembly, discard or recycle the old bottle, insert the nozzle/tube assembly into a new bottle, and screw it back in.

6. Why choose SkeeterHazer?

  • Cost-Effective: Over time, it provides a cost-effective solution compared to other mosquito repellents.
  • Proactive Protection: The device can be programmed to work automatically, so you don’t have to worry about turning it on every time mosquitoes start to bother you.
  • On-Demand Control: You can also turn it on or off as needed, further conserving fluid and extending its use.
