  6. This unit is all-weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions. Intended for household and commercial, indoor and outdoor use.
  7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by UV light and CO2 that is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV-LIGHT LED lamp and 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.
