HOW THE DYNATRAP® MOSQUITO TRAP WORKS

Flying mosquitoes are attracted to the unit by the UV light. The fan then pulls the mosquitoes into the screened base, trapping them until they dehydrate and die. The base can be removed, allowing the contents to be periodically emptied into the trash. Monitor the mosquitoes trapped in the retaining cage, through the see-through screen, and empty when the compartment becomes full.
