Like any living human or animal the revolutionary technology inside The Gobblin™ Mosquito Eater mosquito trap produces the best of the attractants that mosquitos find irresistible. The Gobblin™ Mosquito Eater uses a clean, odorless, smokeless premium methanol, methyl alcohol (methyl hydrate)"liquid fondue fuel" with special attractants added to produce CO2, water vapor, heat as well as a light scent of alcohol. The black moist surface under the killing grid is another deadly lure. The Gobblin™ Mosquito Eater uses an electrostatic voltage just high enough to kill the biting insects avoiding annoying zapping sounds and exploded insect parts. The Gobblin™ Mosquito Eater mosquito trap is completely harmless to beneficial insects killing only biting insects. Fuel with methyl alcohol or "methyl hydrate" available in most hardware or paint stores. The Gobblin™ is made from steel and ABS plastic for long life and durability.

Inside The Gobblin™ Mosquito Eater trap is a combustion area fueled by a small very clean smokeless, odorless flame. As the fuel is consumed, it produces water vapor and Carbon Dioxide (mimicking human breath) along with trace amounts of alcohol vapor at perfect levels to attract biting insects. This process also generates heat. The generated heat is used as both a powerful biting insect attractant and a thermo electric power source for the onboard generator. The bottom pan of The Gobblin™ Mosquito Eater is filled with water to provide a coolant for the electric generator which in turn produces a water vapor cloud around the unit, another powerful attractant for the biting insects. The biting insects are also attracted to a black, warm moist inner surface on the unit. As they get closer to it they come into contact with a unique electrostatic grid. They search for a place to bite and are killed but not exploded (brush off dead mosquitos with dry cloth). This Patent Pending system has been extensively field and lab tested and proven to trap and kill hundreds of mosquito and biting insects per hour.
