Mosquito Trap
Mosquitoes typically do not travel far from where they hatch during their short life cycle. Continuous use of the Mosquito Trap in one area can collapse the population on one half acre of property - virtually eliminating mosquitoes in the area. PROPANE TANK NOT INCLUDED Comparison of Non-Pesticide Mosquito Control Products The
Science of Mosquito Host Seeking
The
female mosquito is attracted to a host by scent, moisture, temperature, color,
movement, and for some species, sound. There are an estimated 400 chemicals
emitted from human skin and about 100 volatile compounds in each human breathe
that mosquitoes can detect. The combination and amount of chemicals given off is
believed to be why some people are more readily bitten than other people. Female
mosquitoes can detect a host to feed on at a distance of 20 - 40 yards,
dependant on species and weather conditions. The female mosquito is most active
between 50 degrees Fahrenheit and 95 degrees Fahrenheit in calm or light breeze
conditions. Most species of female mosquito take about 90 seconds to complete a
blood meal.
The
female mosquito is sensitive to a variety of chemicals when she begins searching
for a blood meal. Carbon dioxide is important for long-distance orientation.
Scientists consider carbon dioxide as the single most important cue used by
mosquitoes for locating a source of blood. Researchers have estimated that a
person gives off 275 ml/min of carbon dioxide, resulting in a concentration in
the air of between 0.01 % and 1.0%.
The
continued study of mosquito attractants has clarified the role of lactic acid,
ammonia, phenol, temperature and humidity. Scientists at the USDA research
laboratory in Florida have catalogued more than 340 chemicals emitted by humans
that attract mosquitoes!
Mosquitoes
appear to have preference for the area of the body they select for a blood meal.
Anophelean and Aedean spp. of mosquito select areas of an increased temperature
and sweat gland density (moisture!). Mosquitoes respond to humidity and
temperature gradients associated with convection currents. Factors such as
relative humidity (RH) play a role in short term responses to mosquitoes.
Mosquito
vision is known to play a role in location of resources such as hosts (people to
bite!). Factors affecting mosquito vision include the amount of light and time
of day. Studies have shown that for both long range orientation and
short-range orientation, mosquitoes discern movement, colors, shapes and
patterns. Research has shown that specific light colors increase or decrease the
attractiveness of different species. Capturing large numbers of female mosquitoes with a mosquito trap on a daily basis can implode the local population of mosquitoes in a given local. This is accomplished by both immediately removing biting females and by eliminating them from the breeding pool. Less mosquitoes laying eggs equals less mosquitoes emerging!
The Mosquito Trap utilizes the documented attractiveness of C02, moisture, body temperature (thermal imaging), color, and airflow in an effective design that captures and kills mosquitoes. No other unit on the consumer home market today incorporates all of these features in one trap. The Mosquito Trap combines the latest in research to turn the female mosquitoes natural hunting techniques toward seeking out the trap to be captured in a product that private home owners can use, in a unit hundreds of dollars less than competitors. The Mosquito Trap is a portable unit that sets up quickly and easily. The unit comes complete with a stand, so there's no digging to install a mounting post. The Mosquito Trap burns propane to produce C02 and moisture in an economical method. There is no expensive and difficult to refill C02 bottle, just cheap propane readily available at many stores. Mosquitoes are virtually eliminated in an area up to one-half acre. Beneficial insects remain unharmed since mosquitoes are specifically targeted The Mosquito Trap F.A.Q OPERATION Why
does the Mosquito Trap need to run 24 hours per day?
The Mosquito Trap is
designed to economically run 24 hours per day for maximum control of mosquitoes.
Each female mosquito can lay several batches of eggs during her brief life.
Different species of mosquitoes are more active at different times of the day.
By running your Mosquito trap continuously, the mosquito population in the area
of the trap will collapse. Continued operation of the Mosquito Trap will keep
the mosquito population from being replaced as surrounding mosquitoes move into
the void. Is
C02 bad for the environment? The amount of C02 emitted
from the Mosquito Trap is about the same as that from an adult human. This is
far less than the amount of C02 emitted by a car or even your lawnmower. Plants
utilize C02 as they grow and release oxygen. The Mosquito Trap is an alternative
to using chemical sprays. How
much noise does the Mosquito Trap make?
The Mosquito Trap eliminates
mosquitoes with a minimum of sound. The vacuum fan noise level is comparable to
a home dehumidifier. Outdoors this sound dissipates quickly.
How
often does the propane tank need refilled?
The Mosquito Trap will
operate for 3 to 4 weeks continuously capturing mosquitoes on a single tank of
propane. How
often does the capture cup need emptied on the
Mosquito Trap? Empty the mosquito capture
cup when about half full by rinsing the capture cup under running water.
Mosquito Fact: About 800 dead mosquitoes equals 1 tablespoon! One ounce equals
over 65,000 dead mosquitoes! The number of mosquitoes captured daily will
decrease rapidly as the Mosquito
Trap collapses the population around itself.
How
long will it take to notice a reduction in mosquitoes?

How
long will it take to notice a reduction in mosquitoes?
Many customers report a
difference in the number of mosquitoes bothering them by the end of the second
week. It can take up to two months to capture enough generations of female
mosquitoes to eliminate new egg hatchings in the vicinity of the trap. From this
point on, the only mosquitoes to capture are from neighbors' yards as they drift
into your yard. Can
the Mosquito Trap be used indoors?
No, the Mosquito Trap is
for Outdoor Use Only. The Mosquito Trap .is designed to intercept mosquitoes on
their way to your home. How
do I clean the Mosquito Trap? Simply wipe off the
outside of the Mosquito Trap with a clean cloth to remove dust, pollen, or other
material. To avoid electric shock, DO NOT clean the Mosquito Trap with spraying
water or by immersion in water. Mosquitoes and Use
Where
should I place my trap? The most mosquitoes will
be captured by positioning the Mosquito Trap 30 to 40 feet from the location you
want to protect, in the normal down-wind direction towards were mosquitoes are
living (trees, bushes, water). The mosquitoes will encounter the Mosquito Trap
and be captured, before coming into contact with you and your family.
Technical
The
burner- on my Mosquito Trap lights up ok, but then it shuts down after a little
while. 1. Make sure there is propane in the tank. 2. Is
the regulator hose attached tightly? 3. Did water or dirt get into the burner
housing? I'm
not catching many mosquitoes? 1. How long has the
Mosquito Trap been operating? Some customers have seen a huge decrease in
mosquitoes around their home in as little as three weeks. The less mosquitoes
flying around the trap, the fewer mosquitos you
will capture.
2. Mosquitoes don't like
hot (above 95P) and dry weather. The number of mosquitoes out will decrease when
it is hot and dry, only to reappear again after a little rain.
3. Check your capture cup
and make sure it is on properly and that the lid is opening while the trap is
turned on. When
should the Mosquito Trap be turned on and off?
Mosquitoes start to come
out when the outside temperature is consistently above about 50 degrees
Fahrenheit. This is when you should begin control by running your unit. When the
temperature falls consistently below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the mosquitoes will
be gone and you can put your unit away for the season.
Will
the Mosquito Trap capture other insects?
Yes, the biting no-see-ums
(gnats, black flies, sand flies) require a blood meal and will be attracted to
the Mosquito Trap and captured. The Mosquito Trap will
not capture deer flies, horse flies, greenheads, or non-blood feeding
beneficial insects. Why
do mosquitoes bite? About 3000 species of
mosquito have been identified world-wide, with approximately 170 species found
in the United States. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, but
only the female requires a blood meal. The blood meal is needed for each batch
of eggs the female lays, typically feeding once every 3-4 days. Most species of
female mosquito take about 90 seconds to complete a blood meal that is equal to
1 1/2 times its normal body weight. Why
does the female mosquito go to the trap?
The female mosquito is attracted to a host by scent (including C02), temperature, color, movement, and for some species, sound. There are an estimated 400 chemicals emitted from human skin and about 100 volatile compounds in each human breath that mosquitoes can detect. The combination and amount of chemicals given off is believed to be why some people are more readily bitten than other people. Female mosquitoes can detect a host. to feed on at a distance of 20 - 35 yards, dependant on species and weather conditions. The Mosquito Trap uses C02, moisture, body temperature (thermal imaging), color, and airflow in an effective design to turn the female mosquitoes natural hunting techniques toward seeking out the trap and being captured. Features
The Mosquito Trap Other products are now on the market that will capture
mosquitoes. A comparison of the costs and features offered will quickly show why
the Mosquito Trap is not only the most effective, but is also a real bargain. The
Mosquito Trap has a "heat attraction area" of 138 square inches and a
"suction area" of 17.25 square inches! This is more than 5 times the
heat attraction of the Mosquito Magnet and 13 times the heat attraction of the
Flowtron trap! The Mosquito Trap
also has greater suction area than these other products. All of the
different mosquito trapping products use at least heat and C02 as the basis for
attracting mosquitoes. After that they differ on what else they can do. (Retail
Prices as of April 2002)

their breath. The Mosquito Trap converts propane to CO2, through the use of proprietary revolutionary ceramic catalyst. The CO2 is released in a plume that sends a scent trail inviting
mosquitoes in the area back to the trap.
