Bonus video Dynatrap 3 Insect Trap Assembly and Review
Does Dynatrap work?
Insects are attracted mainly by light and warmth. Others, like mosquitoes, are attracted by human scent, water, and carbon dioxide.
The DynaTrap has features like a UV bulb that produces light and warmth, which attracts mosquitoes.
The Dynatrap has a titanium dioxide-coated surface, on which the manufacturer claims when UV light reacts with titanium dioxide, it produces carbon dioxide.
The fan will help disperse the carbon dioxide and draw in insects that eventually die of dehydration.
Most people complain that it would not catch as many mosquitoes as they would like.
The trap needs to be placed in a proper location where there is shade and shelter where mosquitoes like to hang.
When it comes to human scent, all the traps do not produce human scent, but the company has manufactured a lure.
The DynaTrap lure mimics the human scent, and it is placed in the cage of the trap.
Also, the amount of carbon dioxide released is questioned by the University of Wisconsin.
The university measured the amount of carbon dioxide released and found none at all. But the combination of titanium dioxide and the ultraviolet light bulb is proven legitimate by some air cleaners.
The cleaners use the same combination and have been tested to work. Their source of carbon claims is dust and pollutants which turn into carbon dioxide.
In the same case as DynaTrap, it requires a source of carbon like dust to produce carbon dioxide. So we believe when the trap is hung outside, it draws dust from the air, which emits enough CO2.
That could be the reason why they did get any carbon dioxide.
DynaTrap pros and cons
