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 combination of:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Ultraviolet Light
- Heat
- Attractant (Optional)
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.

Care
For Your Trap
Your MozzTech Mosquito Trap requires very
little maintenance. The capture compartment
should be cleaned and washed when required.
Heavy catches of mosquitoes may result in
a build-up of material in the internal casing
and blade tips of the Fan. Please use the
following cleaning techniques to clean your
trap.
Weekly Cleaning
• Switch off the unit & pull out the plug before cleaning
• Pull out the Storage Box to remove it from the main unit
• Clean the inside of the Storage Box with the brush provided
½ Yearly Cleaning
• Switch off the unit & pull out the plug before cleaning
• To clean other parts of the unit, separate the middle section from the top
portion by removing all the 3 sets of screws
• Use the brush provided to clean the TiO2 coated plate & fan. You may
also use a damp cloth to wipe it gently.
NOTE: DO NOT USE any sharp object to scratch or scrape off the TiO2 coat.
