HOW THE DYNATRAP
®
INSECT TRAP WORKS
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light
and CO2 that is generated by the photo-catalysis
between the UV lamps and the special TiO2 coating.
The fan then pulls the insects into the screened base,
trapping them until they dehydrate and die. The base
can be removed, allowing the contents to be periodically
emptied into the trash. Monitor the insects trapped in
the retaining cage through the see-through screen, and
empty when compartment becomes full.
