Mosquito Traps

Mosquito traps do their part to reduce the number of blood-hunting mosquitoes and egg-laying female mosquitoes by attracting, trapping and killing them.

Power for mosquito traps can be supplied via battery, electricity or propane gas. Propane mosquito traps, such as Coleman's Mosquito Deleto, are self-contained and portable units so they can be placed anywhere (up to 50 feet away), unlike electric-powered mosquito traps that are encumbered by electric cords. The more portable a mosquito trap is, the greater number of mosquitoes that can be killed before they reach humans.

Propane mosquito traps emit carbon dioxide via an exhaust fan as a way to attract mosquitoes. An impeller fan sucks mosquitoes into the mosquito machine and traps them in a net, dehydrating and killing them instantly.

Did You Know?

Most mosquitoes live and feed within 1 mile of their breeding ground.

Mosquito traps powered by electricity rely on electric cord and an AC outlet, so there are distance limitations where they're concerned. Many electric mosquito traps also use a carbon dioxide cylinder that emits C02 to attract mosquitoes; however, many electric units also make use of a sticky surface to trap mosquitoes where they land. Other electric systems utilize an electronic grid to fry mosquitoes on contact.

Both propane and electric mosquito traps require regular cleaning to rid the mosquito trap of dead mosquitoes. Small propane-powered mosquito traps, such as Coleman's Mosquito Deleto, start at $170 online; whereas small battery or electric-powered mosquito traps are cheaper, starting at about $50 online.
