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. The see-through screen shows the insects trapped in the compartment, alerting you when the cage needs to be emptied.
