Mosq-X Mosquito trap attract flying bugs with warmth and carbon dioxide, then catch them and prevent them from escaping. For warmth, they use a fluorescent ultra-violet bulb, which also emits bug-attracting light. The main difference is that they don't use propane to create carbon dioxide (CO2). Instead, they use a special process. How to Works: MOSQ-X Mosquito trap uses a UV Lamp, which can produce 360 - 400nm light to attract flying insects, Mosquitoes & moths. The mosquito or insect is attracted to the light and enters the unit. The fan then sucks the mosquito/insect down into the trap when they quickly expire by a “drying out” method. Friendly to the environment this product does not use any chemicals or pesticides, is quiet running and efficient, The lights in the top of the trap emit warmth and ultraviolet rays, which attract mosquitoes as well as other insects, particularly moths at night. There are openings below the lights where bugs can fly in. Once inside, they're sucked down by the fan's air currents into the retaining cage below, where they're unable to escape and die within a day. Unfortunately, light and warmth are just two of the things that attract mosquitoes, since what they're mainly looking for are people to bite. Carbon dioxide is what they really seek, since we and other animals emit it when we exhale. Mosquitoes know that if they follow that vapor trail, there will be a tasty animal on the other end, ready to be bitten. To produce carbon dioxide, the MOSQ-X Mosquito trapper uses a broad sort of funnel above the fan, coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2). The manufacturer claims that when the ultraviolet light reacts with the TiO2, "a photo catalytic reaction takes place that produces carbon dioxide." This is the process it uses, instead of burning propane like other traps.
