Scientific research has found that mosquitoes find their prey using a combination of sensory cues including heat,
carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and moisture. Traditional mosquito traps use propane gas to create CO
2
and heat, attracting
mosquitoes. Once consumed, the propane gas needs to be replaced. The GMK1, however, uses photocatalytic
reaction between near-ultraviolet rays and a titanium dioxide (TiO
2
) coated panel to create light, heat and CO
2
instead. This mimics the human body and attracts mosquitoes into the trap.
Titanium dioxide (TiO
2
)
Photocatalysis is a catalytic reaction formed when TiO
2
is irradiated by near-ultraviolet rays from the sun or a light
source. In the presence of near-ultraviolet light, titanium dioxide (TiO
2
) breaks down organic matter in the form of
airborne micro-organisms (such as airborne bacteria, mold, viruses, fungi, smoke and household odours) into
carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and water (H
2
O).
How does it work?
The GMK1 mimics the human body by producing heat, CO
2
and water. The high-speed rotating fans then draw in
the mosquitoes through the capture window and against the capture net until their death from dehydration.
Air purifier
The GMK1 doubles as an air purifier as it breaks down airborne bacteria, viruses, fungi, smoke and household
odours drawn into the TiO
2
-coated panel inside the trap. The photocatalytic reaction attacks and destroys microbes
by disintegrating their DNA. The reaction also kills dust mites.
