How the MKS Works
New and improved, the MKS uses the mosquito’s natural hunting techniques of heat sensing and carbon dioxide detection. The unit mimics the body temperatures and breathing patterns of humans, livestock, poultry, and domesticated pets. The photocell powers up the MKS, beginning the cycle of mimicking body heat and respiration. The MKS simulates the breathing of warm-blooded mammals by the release of carbon dioxide in 5 hour intervals. more->>
