ABSTRACT:
A trap for catching mosquitoes uses a plurality of housings that are disposed along a perimeter to be protected against the mosquitoes. Each housing has a heat source, a mesh for trapping the insects, and a fan to pull the insects into the mesh. A first container holds carbon dioxide while a second container holds octenol. The carbon dioxide is pumped through the octenol holding container and the combined carbon dioxide and octenol are passed are mixed and enter a first conduit. Each housing is fluid flow connected to the first conduit and some of the combined carbon dioxide and octenol passes to each housing in order to act as attractants for the insects. A second conduit runs parallel to the first conduit and carries electricity such that when each housing attaches to the first conduit it also attaches to the second conduit in order to provide an electrical connection to the housing's fan and light.
