HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS
Flying insects ore attracted to the unit by
the UV light and the CO2 that is generated
by the photo-catalysis between the UV
lamps and the TI02 coating. The fan pulls
the insects into the retaining cage,
trapping them until they dehydrate and
die. The screened base can be removed,
so you can periodically empty the
contents into the trash. The screen allows
you to see what's trapped in the
compartment, alerting you when the
retaining cage needs to be emptied.
