The main design feature of most mosquito traps is the use of propane (or LPG) which is combusted to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor and heat to attract mosquitoes. Propane is non-toxic but poses a risk of explosion and fire if it leaks. Most traps have been designed to run continuously until the propane tank runs dry which takes between 14 and 21 days depending on the type of trap. An exception to the propane trap is the Mega-Catch™ range of traps which use a combination of light, shape, heat, movement, color, and in the case of top of the line ULTRA, a “variable quantity slow CO2 gas release system” to replicate human respiration. Most trap manufacturers also offer chemical lures containing octenol or lactic acid or a combination of these. It is important that consumers make informed choices when purchasing any consumer product and we suggest the following questions should be asked before purchasing a mosquito trap: * What performance/features do you need the mosquito trap to have? * Will the trap be safe for you to operate in your environment? * Will the trap operate reliably? * Can you expect to receive a high standard of after sales service? * What are the running costs? In compiling this website we have aimed to make it a comprehensive and thorough analysis of manufacturers and their mosquito traps. We aim to assist you as potential mosquito trap owners in making fully informed choices when considering purchasing a mosquito trap. When reading this website, you will see both negative and positive feedback from reviews that we have read.
