Carbon dioxide alone is not enough. To complete the chemical profile, a cartridge containing octenol or lurex must be added. <\/p>\n
Octenol is a versatile molecule that mimics phytochemicals. Lurex is a proprietary blend of chemicals that resemble sweat. <\/p>\n
These chemicals act as effective attractants for different types of mosquitoes. Lurex-type chemicals are the most effective against imported tiger mosquitoes. Octenol is the most effective against mosquitoes native to the United States. <\/p>\n
Chemical attractants are blown into the surrounding air by mixing with carbon dioxide and moisture. This creates a burst of gas that mosquitoes cannot resist. They fly against the wind and follow the plume to their source. <\/p>\n
When the mosquitoes reach the trap, they encounter a vacuum created by the fan. It’s like a vacuum cleaner. The fan sucks in air and mosquitoes. They are trapped in a net bag. <\/p>\n
There they die of dehydration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
