Mosquito Trap Review
Koolatron Bite Shield Mosquito Trap - MK12-FE
We review products independently, but when you purchase through links on this page we may receive a small commission.
The largest and most powerful entry to Koolatron's (formerly Lentek) popular line of mosquito catchers, the MK12-FE Guardian trap protects a full acre without the use of harmful pesticides. Durable, weatherproof and easy to assemble, the Guardian has been scientifically designed for maximum effectiveness. One of its unique features is a patent-pending combo of thermal imaging techniques, which simulate a living, breathing creature - luring in hungry mosquitos to trap and kill them in the protected, easy-to-empty cup.
Don't confuse this with the Guardian MK11 mosquito trap that was introduced in 2003. Although similar in appearance, the MK12 is much more portable (being a full 50% lighter than the MK11) and boasts several functional and design improvements as well.
The manufacturer also offers a cordless version of this item - the MK-14.

Note: Amazon has erroneously posted details about Lentek's propane tank cover accessory instead of the machine itself in their "product features" section. The feature information we have on this page has been verified against the specs on the manufacturer's own site. |
