Mosquito Magnet Patriot Plus, Patriot, & Defender Corded Model Fuel Nozzle

Without a Mosquito Magnet operating in our Massachusetts backyard it is impossible to eat supper on our deck. We have had a Mosquito Magnet running each summer for more than ten years. Unfortunately, Mosquito Magnets are poorly designed and fail to ignite after months to years of usage. After failure to ignite, you need to take the unit apart and, at a minimum, take out and clean the nozzle that sprays propane into the combustion chamber with carburetor cleaner. This is going to take a few hours at a minimum. The best online description of how to make a Mosquito Magnet work again is an article available online entitled “Mosquito Magnet Tune-Up” by Angerman. There are also a few other good videos. My experience is that cleaning the nozzle has the biggest effect. This can be done without disassembling the combustion chamber. I had been doing this successfully every year with a five year old unit, but this year, no amount of nozzle cleaning made it functional. Purchasing and installing this nozzle made my mosquito magnet work again. The hole in the nozzle was clearly larger than that in the old clogged nozzle and the unit is producing more heat than before and catching mosquitoes and no-see-ums. It was well worth the price given the time it takes to take the unit apart, clean the non-functioning nozzle, put it back together, and wait to see if it works. Pictures show a five year old Mosquito Magnet which works well after replacing the nozzle and the inside of the unit with the circuit board lifted off.

I was a little hesitant to buy this because I wasn't sure my valve was the problem. I've been trying for months to get my mosquito magnet working. I tried changing the propane tank, lots of those CO2 cartridges, changing the mosquito trap out, tried turning it off and on a bunch of times, tried crossing my fingers. I was about to throw it away but thought I'd try a quick google. A lot of people recommended replacing this valve. When I pulled mine apart, it was definitely pretty nasty. In the photo, you can see the valve provided by this seller on the left and the old nasty one on the right. It was much easier to replace that I was expecting. Probably 10 minutes total. The first time I tried to start it up, it switched to the solid red light and is currently sucking up mosquitoes again. Thank goodness. The mosquito magnet has been a godsend.

Work great replacement part for mosquito machine

Would be 5 star if I actually installed item to confirm function. It is labeled Mosquito Magnet and is identical to OEM. My old filter was clogged so I ordered this replacement. I continued to clean the original the next day while I waited for delivery. I got the old filter cleaned enough to work before this one arrived, next time I will use this item as a replacement rather than spend the time to clean the old filter and nozzle.

Replaced my oldest Patriot Plus machine's nozzle with this to get it running again. Six months later I ordered another one for my second machine but returned it upon receipt after finding it much cheaper at an online HVAC supply house. You may want to search web for Delavan DVA15045 hollow nozzle to first see if other retailers have it at a much lower price. Otherwise, this is a winner.

I've been fighting with my mosquito magnet for the last few years, doing a bunch of voodoo steps to get it going with each new propane tank. It finally stopped altogether but then I stumbled onto this. I found the YouTube video and installed the new nozzle in about 15 minutes. The M.M. just took right off like it's new. Sure, it costs a bit but it's well worth it. I ordered a second one because I have another M.M. that is just starting to act up some. My only suggestion is that the seller should include a little slip of paper pointing to the installation videos. I'm upset that the manufacturer doesn't explain this. I bet I've thrown away two M.M.s because of this problem and one time I did an exchange with a repair place for $150 and I bet this is all they did to sell mine to another person. Quite a secret money-maker.

This fuel nozzle was the answer to why our mosquitoe magnet wasnt running anymore. Worth it to keep it working. NOTHING else worked!!!
