Learn more at SkeeterDefeater.comLearn more at SkeeterDefeater.com©Outdoor Solutions, Inc. ©Outdoor Solutions, Inc.Initial Set Up (cont.)Installation of CRU (sold separately)The Skeeter Defeater Dispenser must be used exclusively with the Skeeter Defeater Cylinder Refi ll Unit (CRU), which is sold separately. The CRU contains pyrethrin, a botanical insecticide that kills mosquitoes on contact. For more information on pyrethrin, visit SkeeterDefeater.com. Learn more about the CRU on page 9 of this manual. WARNING: The Skeeter Defeater Dispenser is designed to be used only with a Skeeter Defeater CRU. Attempting to install any other pesticide aerosol may cause damage to the Dispenser and may release all the contents of the aerosol in one spray. 1. With the Spray Head still detached from the Base, remove the cap and spray nozzle from the CRU and place the CRU upright on a fl at surface outdoors. 2. Be sure the Power Setting on the Spray Head is set to “Off.”3. With the Nozzle pointing away from you, place the Spray Head on top of the CRU and press down fi rmly on the top of the unit with the palm of one hand (pictured) until the CRU snaps into place. 4. Move the 3-way Power Switch to the desired operation setting (see page 6 for more details). 5. Line up the arrow on the top lip of the Base with the OPEN arrow on the bottom lip of the Spray Head and then twist the Spray Head clockwise to align arrows in the CLOSE position. 52. 3. 5.12Appendix A – Skeeter Defeater DispenserThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

OFF (Center Position) – Set the Dispenser to the “OFF” position whenever mosquitoes are not present, or when winds exceed or may exceed 5 miles per hour (mosquitoes stay sheltered when winds are higher than 5 miles per hour), or whenever people, pets or food are present. 2. REMOTE ONLY (Left Position) – The Indicator Light will blink once when the Power Switch is set to this position. The Remote Control (included) allows you to initiate the spray sequence from up to 50 feet away from the Dispenser, whether you’re indoors or outdoors. One Remote Control will work on multiple Skeeter Defeater Dispensers. To initiate, press the button on the Remote Control. The Remote Control light will stay lit for four seconds as it sends a signal to the Dispenser. 3. DUSK/DAWN® + REMOTE (Right Position) –The Indicator Light will blink twice when set to thisposition. Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn.The DUSK/DAWN Sensor on the top of the Spray Head detects dusk and dawn every day without the need to set any timers or clocks, initiating the spray sequence. In this setting, you can also still use the Remote Control for additional protection (up to two additional sprays a day/four total). Note: In order to conserve battery power, the Dispenser only powers on every six seconds to check for a signal. Therefore, it may take up to 10 seconds for a signal from the remote to initiate the Dispenser spray sequence. The Dispenser may only be used when pests are present. Do not spray the insecticide more than four times per day. Tips and Facts to Optimize the Use of Your Skeeter Defeater™Tips for optimizing the use of your Skeeter Defeater Mosquito Defense Unit: 1. Observe how the Dispenser sprays, and adjust its placement for the best coverage in your yard specifi cally. 2. Be aware of wind conditions. Mosquitoes generally cannot be in the open when winds are higher than 5 mph. For best coverage, position the Nozzle on the Dispenser to spray downwind. 3. The Skeeter Defeater is portable and easy to maintain – it’s a great item to take camping and to use on patios and decks. 4. When used as directed, the Skeeter Defeater operates for less than 50 cents a day. 5. Weather conditions that cause unusually dark skies (such as storms) can sometimes trick the DUSK/DAWN® Sensor. The sensor measures the light for 10 minutes at a time to help minimize this issue, but it is still possible for dark skies to initiate the sensor and for the Dispenser to release the spray at a time other than dusk or dawn. It is recommended to turn the unit off when such situations arise. 6. The expected battery life for the Remote Control is two years. When you need to replace your Remote Control, you can purchase a new one at SkeeterDefeater.com. 7. Dispenser batteries last for approximately two months when used regularly. It is suggested to change batteries every other time you replace the CRU. 8. The Skeeter Defeater works best as part of an integrated pest management program. Don’t entice mosquitoes to come to your yard – drain standing water on a regular basis. 9. Place the unit in direct sunlight for optimal usage. If you want to treat shaded areas, remember to place the Dispenser in open sunlight and point toward the shaded area; do not place the Dispenser in the shaded area. 10. Always point the nozzle away from you when replacing the CRU, and be sure the Dispenser is turned off. 11
Learn more at SkeeterDefeater.comLearn more at SkeeterDefeater.com©Outdoor Solutions, Inc. ©Outdoor Solutions, Inc.To remove the CRU from the Dispenser . . . .1. Turn the Spray Head counter-clockwise and detach from the Base. 2. Turn the Power Switch to OFF (Center). 3. With the Spray Head still attached to the CRU, locate the release tabs on the bottom of the Spray Head and then place the CRU on a fl at surface. 4. Pull the release tabs with your forefi ngers, and use your other fi ngers to pull away the CRU. 5. Install your new CRU using the steps found on page 5. Dispose of your emptied CRU according to the directions on the product label. Understanding the Indicator LightThe Dispenser uses the Indicator Light to inform you of three key messages. 1. Power On Indication: the Indicator Light will blink once when the Power Switch is set to Remote Only (left), and twice when set to DUSK/DAWN® + Remote (right). 2. The Indicator Light will blink progressively faster for 6 seconds prior to the Dispenser spraying, and will remain lit while spraying. 3. The Indicator Light will blink once every 4 seconds to indicate a low level of insecticide left in your current CRU. The DUSK/DAWN Sensor is also located in the same area as the Indicator Light, on top of the Spray Head. The Spray SequenceOnce the batteries and CRU are installed, and the power setting is chosen, place your Skeeter Defeater Dispenser appropriately in your yard for maximum effectiveness (see page 8 for further direction). When you initiate the spray sequence (either via Remote Control or DUSK/DAWN Sensor), the Indicator Light will blink increasingly faster for six seconds. The Nozzle will then spray the insecticide from the Dispenser for four seconds, and the Indicator Light will remain lit during this time. You will see the spray in the air for a short period before it disappears from site. Rest assured that the insecticide is still working and spreading throughout your yard (even behind the Dispenser) up to 300 square feet even though you can’t see it. 7101. 2. 3-4.300 sq ft300 sq ftUnderstanding the Cylinder Refi ll Unit (CRU) (cont.)
Learn more at SkeeterDefeater.comLearn more at SkeeterDefeater.com©Outdoor Solutions, Inc. ©Outdoor Solutions, Inc.Proper Dispenser PlacementThe Skeeter Defeater™ works very well in most outdoor settings. Hang the Dispenser six feet above the ground, out of reach of children and pets, or place on a sturdy fl at surface fi ve to six feet above the ground. The Skeeter Defeater Dispenser hangs easily from shepherd’s hooks, fence posts, awnings and other similar hardware. And because it has a fl at base, you can also set the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser on high ledges, columns and other high surfaces. Important: when Dispenser is set to “DUSK/DAWN + Remote” power setting, the unit must be placed in direct sunlight to perform at an optimal level.The DUSK/DAWN® Sensor is a highly advanced device that measures even the smallest changes in light. By placing the unit in direct sunlight, you allow for the Dispenser to receive the best possible information when determining dusk and dawn each day. With this in mind, it is best to not place the Dispenser in heavily shaded areas. Direct the Nozzle to spray toward the target area, and away from swimming pools, water bodies, and eating and cooking areas. One Skeeter Defeater Dispenser effectively treats up to 300 sq ft. Even though the Skeeter Defeater sprays in one direction, the insecticide will disperse and actually cover 360 degrees around the Dispenser when used in proper weather conditions. The diagram on page 7 shows a typical yard and the possible coverage areas for one Skeeter Defeater Dispenser. Multiple Dispensers may be used to treat an entire outdoor area (and can be controlled by a single Remote Control), but do not use more than one Dispenser for every 300 square feet of space. To reduce wind exposure, some people point the Skeeter Defeater toward their house, and then allow the insecticide to rebound off the walls and cover additional areas in the yard. 89Understanding the Cylinder Refi ll Unit (CRU)The Cylinder Refi ll Unit (CRU) serves as the “ammo” for your Skeeter Defeater™ Dispenser, and is sold separately. It contains pyrethrin, a botanical insecticide that kills mosquitoes on contact. The CRU is designed to work exclusively with the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser; no other insecticide containers will fi t into the Spray Head of the Skeeter Defeater and work properly. The CRU comes with a spray button and can be used apart from the Dispenser to spray outdoor areas by hand. It is necessary to remove this spray button before inserting the CRU into the Dispenser. Replacing the CRUThe CRU will last for approximately 66 sprays when used with the Dispenser. If you spray the Dispenser twice a day (dusk and dawn), the CRU will last 33 days. The Indicator Light will blink once every four seconds once the unit has been sprayed 54 times to notify you of the upcoming need for a replacement CRU. You can purchase additional CRUs where you purchased your Dispenser, at various retail outlets and online at SkeeterDefeater.com. Note: The internal counter found in the Dispenser counts sprays since last powering on the unit. Therefore, if you turn off the power of the Dispenser and then turn it back on without changing the CRU, the counter will be set to zero. In this instance, the Indicator Light would not blink at the right time to let you know your CRU is almost empty.
