Own the trap for a one-time price. Add the smart switch — the brains that only burns CO₂ when mosquitoes are out — for a few dollars a month. No technician on a contract, no per-visit spray fee.
Quick answer
SkeeterSwitch is a one-time hardware purchase plus a low smart-service fee — no per-visit spray contract. The starter bundle is $629 (the ARCTIC trap and the SkeeterSwitch smart switch together; a CO₂ tank is sourced locally and not included). Smart service is $9/mo, or $90/yr if you pay annually. The smart switch is the part that conserves your CO₂ — it only runs the trap when mosquitoes are actually out. CO₂ refills are done locally and cost around $35, though it varies by supplier. You own the hardware; there's no technician on a recurring contract.
$629 · one-time
Buy it once — there's no one to renew with. A refillable CO₂ tank is required and is sourced locally (one-time, not included — see below).
$9/mo · or $90/yr
The smart switch is what lowers your CO₂ cost — it's the reason the service exists. Pay $90/yr annually for the better value, or $9/mo month-to-month. Cancel anytime; the trap still works on manual.
refill locally · as needed
This is the honest part nobody else tells you: CO₂ is cheap and local, and we don't mark it up. You refill it yourself, as needed — it's a low-tank reorder reminder, never a subscription.
Straight talk: the trap runs on CO₂, so you'll need a refillable CO₂ tank to use it. It's a one-time item you pick up from a local supplier — the same standard kind of tank used for welding or beverages — and it is not included in the starter bundle. We'd rather tell you that up front than surprise you at checkout. Once you have a tank, refilling it locally is cheap, and the smart switch stretches each fill by only running when mosquitoes are out.
No per-visit spray fee. No seasonal contract that auto-renews. No technician on your calendar every three weeks. A spray service bills you every visit, every season, forever; SkeeterSwitch is a trap you buy once, plus a few dollars a month for the smart switch that conserves your CO₂ — and gas you refill locally, as needed, at no markup from us.

No. The bundle is a one-time purchase; smart service is month-to-month (or annual) and cancellable. You keep the hardware either way.
The ARCTIC CO₂ + heat trap and the SkeeterSwitch smart switch, together, for $629. A refillable CO₂ tank is required and is sourced locally — it is not included in the bundle.
Smart service ($9/mo, or $90/yr annually) is the brains: it runs the trap on local weather and mosquito-activity windows so you only burn CO₂ when bugs are actually out, and it warns you before a tank runs low. It is for the automation and alerts — not the gas.
No. You refill a standard CO₂ tank locally at a gas, welding, or sporting-goods supplier — usually around $35, though it varies by supplier. We do not sell or mark up the gas; when your tank runs low, smart service simply reminds you to top it off.
You need a refillable CO₂ tank to run the trap, and it is not included. It is a one-time item you pick up from a local supplier (the same kind of standard tank used for welding or beverages). We would rather tell you up front than surprise you at checkout.
