Help Reduce Mosquitoes in Your Town with 'Stinger Mosquito Vacuum Trap Out' ProgramNew Stinger Mosquito Vacuums Introduced At Lowe's And Home Depot; Offer A Season-Long Solution For Families
SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In the United States, the
Center for Disease Control recorded over 3,500 human cases of West Nile Virus
(WNV) in 2007, resulting in 109 deaths. Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and
Dog Heartworm -- both spread by mosquitoes -- also pose a significant and
continued threat this coming year and recent reports from the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) state that widespread
appearance of Dengue Fever in the continental United States is a real
possibility. Mosquitoes pose major health threats, so in response,
Southborough, Mass.-based Kaz Inc., manufacturer of the new Mosquito Vacuum,
is offering local nonprofits one free Mosquito Vacuum to reduce mosquitoes in
particularly buggy areas and get a jump on protecting outdoor spaces this
spring. Parks/recreation departments, town spaces, spring youth sports
organizations, camps, and family-oriented nonprofits are encouraged to apply;
up to 25 lucky winners will be selected on April 2, 2008. In case you don't
win, Kaz Inc., a leading global manufacturer of quality healthcare and home
comfort products, is proud to launch the Stinger family of Mosquito Vacuums
this spring at Home Depot and Lowe's stores nationwide
(http://www.FarewellMosquitoes.com).
Stinger Mosquito Vacuums provide family protection using the latest
propane-fueled, insect control technology and are developed specifically to
help reduce both the annoyance of biting mosquitoes and the risk of dangerous
mosquito-borne illnesses in a one-acre area.
To apply, simply tell us what "bugs" you about your nonprofit
organization's mosquito-infested outdoor space, and why you need a Mosquito
Vacuum to help reduce the population of biting mosquitoes. Email
[email protected] or mail to "Mosquito Vacuum Trap-Out, c/o DPR, 45
Village Street Medway MA 02053." Deadline is 5 p.m. on April 1; entries will
not be accepted after that date. Value of prize is $300 and winners must pick
up their new Mosquito Vacuum at the Kaz offices in Southborough, Mass. by
April 15th.
According to Kristin Anderson, Insect Control Brand Manager for Kaz Inc.,
"These mosquito devices are the best in the business, designed to provide an
effective, long-term solution to reducing mosquito populations. We are
pleased to offer a new Mosquito Vacuum to area nonprofits to demonstrate the
product's powerful benefits while helping families in communities we serve. We
believe this is the most powerful and reliable technology and science
available, and we are pleased to provide a high-quality mosquito control
product to 25 deserving organizations."
Chemical sprays, candles and lotions offer only temporary relief from
mosquitoes, but the Stinger Mosquito Vacuum is odorless and silent, providing
continuous 24-hour protection from mosquitoes, black flies, gnats, and no-see-
ums. Stinger's combination of carbon dioxide (CO2), heat, moisture and
exclusive, multi-scent bait makes the Mosquito Vacuum more effective than any
other trapping device sold at retail today, according to independent tests.
After a quick and easy setup, the Mosquito Vacuum immediately attracts and
traps mosquitoes with noticeable results within 30 days. Starting early is
the secret to interrupting female breeding cycles, so families and nonprofits
should get their own Mosquito Vacuums up and running in advance of Memorial
Day, graduation and wedding party festivities.
