HOW THE DYNATRAP
®
INSECT TRAP WORKS
flying insects are attracted to the unit by UV light and cO
that
UV bUlb
2
is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps and
special tiO
coating. Additionally, small holes in the cover of the
2
unit allow rain water to fill the water tray, further attracting
mosquitos. the fan then pulls the insects into the screened base,
fAn
trapping them until they dehydrate and die. the base can be
removed, allowing the contents to be periodically emptied into
REtAining
the trash. the see-through screen shows the insects trapped in the
cAgE
compartment, alerting you when the net needs to be emptied.
