1. Shopping for Indoor Mosquito Traps
Okay, so you have done your best to seal all known possible entries in your home. But those nasty mosquitoes
still keep finding a way in and it is starting to drive you crazy. You have waved your arms around to shoo them
away and clapped your hands on the mosquitoes to smash them, but found it unhygienic and just plain gross.
You have tried bug sprays that do work most of the time, but they leave an unpleasant smell. The solution? An
indoor mosquito trap.
There are several brands and types of indoor mosquito traps. Before purchasing one, make sure to search for
reviews and look up the ratings of different brands and models. Doing this will help you find a unit that will be
best suited for your area and most importantly, your budget.
Now let's talk about how some indoor mosquito traps work. Different products employ different methods and
materiaals to catch their target. An example is the use of a combination of ultraviolet rays and titanium dioxide.
It is said that the reaction of the titanium dioxide from the ultraviolet rays hitting it produces a stream of carbon
dioxide luring those pests close to the system. Once they are close, they get sucked in to a receptacle by a
quiet fan that acts as a suction and a vacuum to keep insects from escaping. Other systems include additional
chemicals like Octenol, an attractant that mosquitoes find hard to resist. Other products only use “black light” to
attract mosquitoes.
To those who are not informed about how light does not attract mosquitoes, these products may seem
attractive because it does not emit potentially harmful gases like carbon dioxide inside the home. And they are
budget-friendly making it more attractive, and since they are relatively cheaper, customers may just think that it
is alright to try them because they don’t cost so much.
Most indoor mosquito and bug traps today look very modern and stylish. Their designs are very versatile, so it
can be used both inside the home and out in the garden, be mounted on a wall or kept standing.

the models you will be choosing from to help you decide which trapping system is the most effective.
