The only good mosquito is a dead mosquito! During the summer when the muggy conditions
of stagnant water provide the ideal breeding ground for the blood sucking insects most people tend to cover their arms and legs in repellant and hope for the best as they go outdoors to enjoy the warm weather. Unfortunately the summer fun is often interrupted by the presence of mosquitoes that seem to sense when a person is near.
Although the small insects do not bother people during the heat of the day they do like to swarm in the hours of dusk and dawn. Feeding on their victims when the light of the sun is dim the winged blood suckers leave large welts on the exposed skin of people that are outside enjoying a summer evening.
A pest that can be controlled by killing the insects off abatement provides a smoke-like pesticide that brings down a number of mosquitoes each year. However useful at lakes and alongside rivers abatement does nothing for homeowners that are plagued by the hordes of mosquitoes. For the average homeowner the infestation of blood sucking insects has led some people to invest in their own mosquito trap. Using a light to attract the flying bugs that come out as the sun is setting a trap kills off a large number of mosquitoes that feel the need to invade a backyard barbecue or swimming party.
Anywhere that people gather makes the ideal feeding ground for the insects that feed on human blood. With the threat of West Nile Virus being spread by the mosquito population the need to kill off as many of the flying insects as possible requires a constant commitment to removing the unwanted visitors from any outdoor setting. Using thermal dynamics and light to draw in the insects the mosquito trap is engineered to be a source of great interest to the blood suckers.
Incorporating heated canola oil that runs slowly down the face of the trap the inventors of the electrical device has devised a machine that tricks each of the senses of the mosquito into following a would-be prey and instead meeting their doom.
Simulating the movement of a person or animal and using heat to trick the bugs into thinking they are going to land on a person that is ripe for the picking, the trap is designed to capture the bugs and make them very easy to dispose of once they are dead. With an attractive waterfall like feature that is aesthetically pleasing to look at most people that purchase the mosquito trap are impressed by the appearance of the trap that does wonders in reducing the number of insects that are found buzzing around the yard at twilight.
