Horse Journal - July 2002
"We found SmartPak's system dazzling." Be sure to check out the
article 'Prepackaged Supplements Fill A Niche: For
Boarding Stables, We Don't Think the Idea Can Be Beat' in the July issue of the
Horse Journal. They discuss the benefits of having your
supplements pre-packaged into daily doses for you, particularly if you are
in a boarding facility. Topics discussed include, reliability of dosing, never running
out, decreased potency of supplements when
they are combined in baggies, and the pleasant surprise of cost effectiveness.

Horse Illustrated - August 2002
"The Mosquito Magnet is a new trap available from SmartPak Equine that works
without pesticides to eradicate mosquito populations in six to eight weeks. The
Mosquito Magnet lures insects with carbon dioxide, heat, moisture and an octenol
attractant, then silently vacuums them into a net where they die of dehydration
within 24 hours."

Equus - July 2002
"Fatal Attraction: Pesticide-free mosquito trap. This propane-powered
device emits a continuous plume of heat, moisture, carbon dioxide and an additional
agent designed to lure mosquitoes, blackflies and other blood-seeking flying insects
by mimicking a mammal's respiration. The insects are drawn into the trap by a vacuum
and caught in a net, where they die within 24 hours."

blood-seeking insects. It is environmentally friendly and releases no harmful substances.

Tack'n Togs - June 2002
"Mosquito Magnet Uses the Power of Propane Also new on the pest-control
front is the Mosquito Magnet from SmartPak Equine. Tested in environments as challenging
as the Florida Everglades, the Mosquito Magnet confounds fly victim-detection systems
by mimicking the carbon dioxide exhalation of humans and horses. Powered by a portable
propane tank, it emits carbon dioxide, heat, moisture, and an octenal attractant.
Mosquitoes, which rarely venture more than 200 yards from where they hatch, zero
in on the Mosquito Magnet, are silently sucked in, and die of dehydration within
24 hours."

Stable Management - June 2002
"The new mosquito control products have hit the market in time for this summer
... Called the Mosquito Magnet, the system emits carbon dioxide, heat, moisture
and an octenal attractant to lure mosquitoes, no-see-ums, sand flies and black flies
into a trap where they dehydrate and die without the use of pesticides. The trap
is powered by propane so it can be placed anywhere. Every three weeks, the collection
nets need to be emptied, the propane tank refilled and more attractant put in."
