Mega Catch PRO 900 Ultra Mosquito Trap - MCU-900

Scientific research has shown that mosquitoes find their prey using a combination of sensory signals including light, shape, color, heat, vibration, sweat and other by-products of human activity. Mega Catch has exploited these sensory signals by using sophisticated electronic components and advanced design features to produce one of the world's most advanced mosquito traps. PRO 900 Series ULTRA mosquito traps mimic a range of attractant stimuli designed to lure mosquitoes and other common biting insects from as far away as 150 feet.

The Mega Catch Ultra Mosquito Trap has been designed for outdoor use and can operate unattended for long periods. The trap can be programmed to start and stop according to peak mosquito activity in your area. Featuring an electronically controlled diode lighting system, the trap produces intermittent light at oscillating frequencies selected to coincide with spectral sensitivity peaks for many mosquito species and also features a low-intensity U.V. bulb to aid in visual attraction.

Mosquitoes attracted to the Ultra by visual and other cues seek to land on and probe specially designed surfaces on the trap where they are collected in the Catch Bag or Liquid Catch Container. When the trap is operated using the Liquid Catch Container, the air plume emanating from the bottom of the trap is humidity enriched. Smaller insects (eg: no-see-ums) are best caught using the Liquid Catch Container because the mesh size on the standard Catch Bag may be too large to capture them. The Catch Bag system requires less frequent attention and therefore may be your preferred mosquito catching system.

The Ultra also features the Mega Catch Variable Quantity Slow CO2 Gas Release System. Use of this attractant system is entirely optional. The system enables the Ultra to replicate a key element of human respiration by releasing small quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at a variable rate over fixed intervals to produce a concentration gradient in the air plume emanating from the lower part of the trap. CO2 tank not included.
