OPERATION
•
PMTR16 operates by using 3 recall factors, namely C02, heat and light waves.
•
CO2 and heat are produced by the action of the photo-catalysis of titanium dioxide Ti02 on
organic matters; light waves are emitted by the lamps and power supply.
•
The 3 recalls attract the insects into the upper part of the trap, from which the air flow created
by a fan drives them into the capture basket, where they die from rapid dehydration.
•
This method is preferred to contact lighting strike, a system often inefficient against insects such
as sand flies, whose small size does not allow simultaneous contact with the two electrodes;
mosquitoes instead have such dimensions as to trigger a short-circuit.
•
Many species of insects live permanently in the vicinity of their place of birth; continuous use of
the trap causes the gradual disappearance of their population as it is effective on local adults and
on those which sometimes come from surrounding areas, thus reducing the number of
specimens capable of laying eggs. It also gradually eliminates those born from eggs already laid
but that opened only after the installation of PMTR16.
