How MozzTech Mosquito Trap Works
The Mosquito Trap lures, traps and kills mosquitoes and other biting insects both in bright indoors and in dark outdoors by a tripartite system.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Ultraviolet Light
- Heat
Female biting mosquitoes require blood to nourish their eggs. They get that blood from you, your family, your pets and your friends. They track down hosts by sensing the carbon dioxide, moisture and heat from breath, body odour and colour contrasts. The creation of an unlimited amount of carbon dioxide is done with a photocatalytic reaction occurs between a Titanium coated metal collar and near ultraviolet light from either the two UV lamps built in the unit or from natural sun light. Decoyed mosquitoes enter the trap through the capture windows on the upper portion, and then are drawn into the capture net at the lower compartment. When they are drawn into the net, they are unable to fly upwards due to the strong current of the suction fan. Once trapped, all the insects will eventually die due to dehydration.
What is Photocatalytic Reaction
Photocatalytic is a decomposition reaction formed when Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), as a catalyst, absorbs Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight or illuminated light source (ultraviolet lamps). TiO2 can be used semi-permanently because, as a catalyst, it is not consumed in the process and therefore does not change.
Benefits of Photocatalytic Reaction
When small amount of near ultraviolet rays from sunlight or ultraviolet lamps and organic matter on the surface of TiO2 meet and react, the photocatalytic oxidation will effectively disinfect, deodorize, clean and purify air and different surface areas.
- Deodorising Effect: Effectively decomposes the air around us
by strong oxidation decomposition capacity
- Anti-Bacterial Effect: Utilizes the strong oxidation capacity to kill bacteria and suppress the multiplication of bacteria
- Self-Cleaning Effect: The protective film of TiO2 provides the self-cleaning function by becoming antistatic, super oxidative and hydrophilic.
- Air Purifying Effect: Photocatalyst accelerates the oxidation
process in the atmosphere and decomposes any air borne toxic organic matters.
How to Clean
| 1. Clean the unit once a week. Cover the capture window with the black tape with Velcro closure provided. Leave the unit covered for about 3 hours. |
 |
| 2. Switch off the unit and pull out the plug before cleaning. |
 |
| 3. To open the unit, turn the bottom chamber anti-clockwise. |
 |
| |
 |
| 4. Clean the inside of the chamber and fan with the brush provided. You may also wipe the metal funnel with a piece of damp cloth |
 |
| |
 |
| 5. To clean other parts of the unit, separate the metal funnel from the top portion of unit. To separate the funnel, press the inner sides of the metal funnel with both thumbs and push it downwards with a little pressure. |
 |
| |
 |
| 6. Clean the other parts with the brush or wipe with a piece of damp cloth. |
 |
 |
|
| 7. To reattach the metal funnel, place the unit with the top facing downwards against a soft surface (ie.lap) and press down the sides. Caution: Do not press against the supports of the motor. |
