Skeeterbag.com is on schedule to launch a new Hi-tech Mosquito Trapping Service that catches mosquitoes via satellite. Starting May 1, 2008 Pinpoint Mosquito Mapping (www.skeeterbag.com) will be available on skeeterbag.com to its customers as a Premium Service. The service will provide clients with a personalized mosquito trapping "Play Book" created just for them and their property compliments of satellite technology and mosquito behavior research (http://news.ufl.edu/2005/05/19/mosquito-traps).
"Some of our clients are writing in unsure of how to get the most out of their traps. I can give general guidance and foolproof techniques without knowing much about the property but, it
wasn't until I started looking at satellite pictures of my clients properties was I really able to see what they were up against; and give truly educated recommendations," said
co-inventor and Skeeterbag.com founder, Mark Valentine, "Now we can do it for everyone."
The process is simple and painless. Pinpoint Mosquito Mapping (www.skeeterbag.com) Clients receive satellite photographs of their property with a
locating grid and instructions. A questionnaire about ground level concerns on the property is also sent, via email. Once customers send back the information Skeeterbag.com Map Techs
tender their findings within a week, that's it.
"People love it when they can see what's going on, it's fun and it makes logical sense. Me and the, "Map Techs" can't wait to get started! We have all kinds of pages planned for the Play
Books. The part I'm looking forward to is working with the satellite pictures and ground level information together," Valentine said, "Guess, I must be a geek."
It is important to recap how Skeeterbag products work to understand why this service is relevant. Skeeterbag Trap Kits themselves do not burn propane for CO2 or use chemical "baits" to
attract mosquitoes--Skeeterbag is a Green Product with an almost zero footprint (www.skeeterbag.com). Instead, the traps harness the raw suction
power of a standard 20" box fan to poach mosquitoes from naturally occurring hunting and feeding sites throughout the mosquito infested property. Pinpoint Mosquito Mapping (www.skeeterbag.com), pinpoints those sites.
Satellite images help people understand how the driving forces of mosquito behavior play out on their property. Map Techs will show clients how their particular terrain supports
infestations and how best to tap into the swarm behaviors. Clients will be instructed to favor a certain side of the property, to trap up high for canopy dwellers, or work with a
neighbors, for instance. "Each property is different but, mosquito behavior is predictable which makes Skeeterbag trapping reliable and effective anywhere," Valentine said.
"It is important to mention that anyone wanting to implement their Skeeterbag Trap Kits at the level of Pinpoint Mosquito Mapping can do so without buying the service. There is enough
information on www.skeeterbag.com (detailed instructions, photos, illustrations, and videos) and enough mosquito behavior sites for anyone to get
mosquito free with their Skeeterbag traps; and without paying extra. Pinpoint Mosquito Mapping is for anyone else who would rather pay us to figure it out for them," Valentine said.
