How does the Ultra’s CO2 gas release system work?
Conventional traps which burn propane, release CO2 in a continuous stream as part of the exhaust gases from the propane combustion process ( like the mosquito magnet ). This process is regarded as extremely inadequate. Slayer Pro’s gas release system is designed to replicate a key element of human respiration by releasing quantities of pure CO2 at varying and pulsating rates ( just like when you breath) over 24hrs intervals to produce a concentration gradient in the air plume emanating from the lower part of the trap. Mosquitoes use this concentration gradient to navigate their way to the trap, thinking that it is a human.
Conventional traps which burn propane release CO2 in a continuous stream as part of the exhaust gases from the propane combustion process. Mega-Catch’s gas release system is designed to replicate a key element of human respiration by releasing quantities of pure CO2at varying rates over fixed intervals to produce a concentration gradient in the air plume emanating from the lower part of the trap. Mosquitoes use this concentration gradient to navigate their way to the trap.
