How does the Mosquito Cognito work?
Like bloodhounds, biting insects have poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell. The Mosquito ‘Cognito takes advantage of their poor eyesight and turns their sense of smell against them. They can smell you from 100 feet away, but they cannot see a person-sized object until they are 30 feet away. The Mosquito ‘Cognito releases a scent with Conceal, a special inhibitor. Conceal binds to the insect’s olfactory receptors and blocks their ability to smell people and animals. Mosquito ‘Cognito reduces mosquito landings on people and animals by 80% when used properly View a video on how the U.S. Equestrian Team succeeded in protecting its stable of million-dollar horses for the Olympic Team during the New Jersey West Nile Virus scare in the summer of 2000.
