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.
