1. Mosquitoes' sensitivity to UV light
The high sensitivity of mosquitoes to ultraviolet (UV) light is the basis for using UV light to attract mosquitoes. Many insects, especially mosquitoes, have a natural attraction to specific wavelengths of light. UV light, especially UV light with a wavelength between 300 and 400 nanometers, can simulate the heat and smell of the human body surface. Therefore, UV light is often used as a key means to attract mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes sense ultraviolet light through their retina and fly toward the light source. Female mosquitoes, in particular, need to find their host by sensing chemicals in their blood. In this process, the composite signal formed by UV light and heat and carbon dioxide emitted from the human or animal body surface becomes the main factor in attracting mosquitoes. Therefore, Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst uses ultraviolet light as its main means of attracting mosquitoes, successfully luring mosquitoes to approach the device and eventually destroying them.

2. Combination of UV light and Photocatalyst technology
Photocatalyst technology uses photocatalysts to react chemically under the stimulation of UV light. The built-in photocatalytic materials (such as titanium dioxide) of Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst produce free radicals under the irradiation of UV light, which react with moisture and oxygen in the air to form gases and chemicals that attract mosquitoes.

Specifically, the UV lamp of Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst emits high-intensity UV light to stimulate the photocatalyst material to produce odor substances similar to the human body (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor), simulating the heat and breath emitted by the human body. Mosquitoes are attracted by these signals during flight and eventually fly to the light source of the electric mosquito killer.

3. The process of UV light attracting mosquitoes
Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst realizes the efficient working principle of UV light attracting mosquitoes through the following steps:

Ultraviolet light irradiation to attract mosquitoes: The UV lamp of Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst simulates the heat and carbon dioxide emitted by the human body surface to attract mosquitoes around.

Photocatalytic reaction generates attractant substances: UV light irradiates the surface of the photocatalyst (such as titanium dioxide) inside the device, generating free radicals and gas substances (such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.), which enhances the attraction to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes mistake it for a signal from the human body surface and fly toward the light source.

Mosquitoes are captured and eliminated: When mosquitoes fly toward the Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst, the built-in suction system sucks them into the device and into the closed insect-catching chamber. Due to lack of oxygen, mosquitoes will die in a short time. No harmful chemicals are released during the whole process, ensuring the safety of the environment.

4. Advantages of UV light mosquito repellent
Compared with traditional chemical mosquito repellent methods, UV light mosquito repellent technology has many significant advantages:

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic: Traditional mosquito repellent products often rely on chemical ingredients, which may cause potential harm to the human body and the environment. The Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst uses UV light and Photocatalyst technology to repel mosquitoes, without the need for chemical agents, and is completely safe and non-toxic. It is especially suitable for families with children and pets.

Highly effective mosquito repellent: UV light is effective in attracting mosquitoes and can cover a wider area. Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst not only attracts mosquitoes in flight, but also enhances the mosquito catching efficiency of the device through UV light, ensuring that mosquitoes can quickly approach and be effectively eliminated.

Wide range of applications: The principle of UV light attracting mosquitoes is often applicable to a variety of indoor environments, whether in homes, hotels, or offices, and can play a good mosquito repellent effect. It is easy to operate and efficient, and can meet the needs of different places.

Silent operation: Unlike traditional mosquito coils or electric mosquito swatters, Mosquito Trap Photocatalyst makes almost no noise when working, and users can enjoy a quiet space in an undisturbed environment. It is especially suitable for bedrooms or office environments to ensure the user's comfortable experience.
