THE MOSQUITO SLAYER SYSTEM Back to Product info & Pricing
The system connects to normal mains power through a 12-volt transformer (included free). A CO2 cylinder, (supplied separately) links to the trap via a 5-metre (16'), industrial-strength, low-pressure gas line. The Australian designed trap reduces mosquitoes and midges/sand flies breeding around your home, workplace or where animals are kept, by breaking the breeding cycle before the adult females lay their eggs
While some other insect trapping devices have only one or two methods of attracting insects, the Slayer Mosquito Trap uses up to Ten scientifically proven attractants for mosquitoes and midges/sand flies.
TEN scientifically proven attractants
The Slayer Worldwide Mosquito Traps use the very same elements that attract mosquitoes and midges/sand flies to humans by luring them into its trap. Carbon dioxide gas is released over a special formulation of attractant solution. A small electric fan sends the aroma wafting through the air. The scent draws the insects towards the trap. As the insects get closer, they are attracted by spectrum and ultraviolet lights that draw them in toward the opening. When they enter, the fan blows them down into the tray of attractant solution where they drown. It's the combination and quantity of each of the attractants that make the Slayer Mosquito Trap an effective device in the control of adult female mosquitoes, midges and sand flies.
How do these attractants work!
1. Carbon dioxide – (CO2)– Female mosquitoes host-seek using the carbon dioxide we breathe out.
2. Lactic acid – Produced as a result of vertebrate muscle metabolism in humans and animals and emitted through the skin.
3. Heat- Mosquitoes are drawn to our body heat.
4. Octenol – Produced naturally in human perspiration.
5. Moisture – Mosquitoes look for moisture in our perspiration.
6. Spectrum light – Different species of mosquitoes are drawn to different wavelengths of light
7. Ultraviolet light (UV) – A certain wavelength of UV attracts some species.
8. Sound – High frequency ‘feeding frenzy’ sound attracts female mosquitoes. Male mosquitos - now known to be able to carry infections and pass them on in the mating process to female mosquitos - are drawn by the "Wing Beating" sounds of the female mosquitos
9. Movement – Mosquitoes are attracted to movement
10.Colour – Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours
Positioning
The Slayer Pro & Ser.4 traps come with a bracket, and need to be positioned where they are visable to mosquitoes. The traps have several visual lures and need to be positioned at least 1 meter above ground level. Damp, shady or isolated areas prove to be the best, although occasional repositioning is often helpfull to a successfull catch.
Position your trap away from your house
What do they come with?
The units come with a 10m ...12volt extension lead, but can be upgraded to an extra 10m or 20m ( see 'accessories' ). A 240v all weather transformer is provided.
The CO2 gas units also come with a CO2 modulator38 ( the CO2 passes thru the modulator and creates 4 extra smell lures)
The Non-CO2 unit does not include a modulator.........
What else does the Modulator do?
CO2 gas Modulator 38 Pack - also changes the continuous flow of CO2 coming from our gas regulator hose into intermittent "Plumes" for better catch rates of host seeking female mosquitoes and midges ( human breath is spasmodic...not continuous.)
