To combat them, there are a huge number of effective tools. While creams, aerosols and fumigants are all about getting rid of mosquitoes for a short period of time, modern remedies for these annoying insects help get rid of them for a long time. One of the most effective is the mosquito gas trap.

A gas trap is one of the best mosquito repellents for outdoor use. Unlike fumigators, which only last for a limited time and are only suitable for indoor use, the gas trap has a longer duration and is designed specifically for outdoor use and large spaces. It is more powerful and has a larger area of ​​impact.

The advantage of choosing this type of insect trap is its optimal performance.

3. A tangible result... During the night, it can catch up to 1-1.5 thousand mosquitoes.

4. Big square actions.

5. Simplicity in service.

6. Price this device will fully pay off with a long service life and effective work.

7. Models are produced that work not from the mains, but from batteries or rechargeable batteries.

8. Battery power enough for the whole season.

9. Control occurs by pressing one button.

10. For convenient storage the trap has a collapsible design.

The design of a gas trap for mosquitoes consists of a gas cylinder with carbon dioxide or propane, a thermal heater, a photocell, an attractant (a special agent that copies the smell of a person), a fan and a container where the captured insects get to.

The principle of operation of a street trap is based on imitating human respiration, which lures insects. This happens with the help of a gas cylinder, which, when the device heats up, emits carbon dioxide, combining with an attractant. The flying insects are sucked in by the fan, and they fall into a special bag, passing through the energized grid on the way.

A reducer is located inside the trap, which maintains a certain level of working pressure inside the cylinder, regardless of environmental conditions.

Most models are equipped with an automatic shut-off sensor that detects in daylight. At the end of the day, when the level of sunlight decreases, the machine will automatically turn on again.

A trap with a carbon dioxide cylinder is an effective protection against mosquitoes for the entire season of their activity.

There is nothing difficult in installing a portable gas trap for insects, you can do it yourself. Before installing this device outdoors, it is necessary to determine the place where the largest accumulation of mosquitoes is located.

It must be placed between the place where they breed (tall grass, pond, shrubs) and the place where people are. In this case, insects are destroyed even before they reach you.

The distance at which the trap should be placed is about 10 meters from the crowd of people. And also it is necessary to take into account the direction of the wind.

If your site is not on a level surface, it is better to choose an elevated position to place the trap.

Bloodsuckers do not like the sun's rays, so it is better to place the device in the shade. And also for the best operation of the device, it must be installed on a level place without tall grass so that the gas can freely spread around the area.

The trap is designed to withstand different weather conditions, but the automatic irrigation system can damage it if water gets into it from the side.

Before using the mosquito gas trap, you must carefully read the instruction manual, which comes with the device. It contains detailed information about the rules of service.

The blood-sucking insect trap is fairly easy to maintain. Everyone will be able to independently fill or replace a gas cylinder. This must be done every 15-20 days. The volume of the gas container is 10 liters. Propane models are available and must be refilled every 21 days.

Here is an example of how to maintain a pesky insect gas trap:

1. turn off the device;

2. pull out the gas cylinder;

3. refuel the point with gas (carbon dioxide or propane);

4. remove the net and clean it from insects;

5. using a quick cleaning cartridge, blow out the device;

6. wipe the unit inside and out with a damp cloth;

7. replace the container with the attractant;

8. insert the gas cylinder back into the device;

9. turn on the device.

Periodically (once a season) it is necessary to return the device to a service center for a routine inspection. If dirt gets into the burner, which heats the gas, or dust accumulates, the efficiency of the device will be noticeably reduced.
