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.
