5.0 out of 5 stars A nicely designed insect killer that works without dangerous chemicals or zapping them! July 9, 2012

By jjceo HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER

This is the review that I posted for the INADAYS InaTRAP Electronic Insect Killer with the blue light. The manufacturer asked that I also post it here as they are identical products except for the color of the lights.
++++++++
I hate mosquitos, and they seem to really like me! If I am outside after dark I must have a welcome sign on my back that glows in the dark and says, "Eat Here". It always bothered me but since the influx of West Nile Virus it makes me even more concerned. In 2011, 95% of the USA had reported human disease cases of West Nile Virus. If you have a home where children and pets are in and out of the house all day then you also get mosquitoes into your home. This nicely designed product is able to attract and kill them before they can bother you.

This is a stylish device that looks like a lamp or nightlight. It is lit by a very small CCFL (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) that emits a blue or violet light that attracts the insects into the lamp. A special chamber creates a vortex driven by a small, fast spinning, computer fan that is virtually silent. The insects are drawn through the fan and into a removable drawer that holds the dead insects. (I have attached some photos of the product for your review)

This is designed to kill the insects that get into your home without spraying chemicals or having other potentially dangerous types of insect zappers inside your home.

Installation:

* The ideal place to set the lamp is near the entry way into your home that is used the most as that will be the primary way the insects gain entrance.
* Ideally the lamp should be set on a table or a cabinet at least 2 feet off of the floor.
* It comes with an AC adapter to power the device.

Use:

* I was given a sample of the GR-331 which features an LED touch ON/Off switch.
* One touch of the LED switch turns it green and the lamp will run for 12 hours and shut off.
* The second touch the LED turns it orange and the device is on continuously.
* Model GR-350 features a rechargeable battery that allows you to take the unit outside. It charges in 4 to 5 hours and the battery operation will last 9 to 10 hours. (I did not test this unit)
* Mosquitos are attracted to certain light frequencies but also to carbon dioxide and steric acid. The CCFL light produces oscillating light frequencies to attract the insects. In addition it has a photo catalyst coating that will produce a small amount of carbon dioxide to attract even more mosquitos.
* You can enhance the performance by putting a small bottle cap of wine in the bottom of the insect drawer to strengthen the carbon dioxide attraction.
* Steric acid is common in many facial cosmetics/creams and it simulates the oils that are on your skin. Putting a small cap of it into the insect drawer will also increase the lamp's attractiveness to mosquitos.
* Place the lamp between you and the possible source of the mosquitos. You are still the prime target and the object is to get them to go to the lamp first and not survive.

Cons:

* It works, so you will have to empty out the insect drawer every so often. This may make some people squeamish but I would rather do that than be bitten by a disease infested insect!
* The lamp does have a life of two years and is replaceable. I do not know the availability or the price of the replacement bulb.

We are not in the main part of the mosquito season yet but it is coming on soon. I set the lamp outside on a table overnight and the next morning there were about 12 mosquitos and a couple of small moths inside the drawer. I did not use the wine or steric acid trick which may have improved the results. Even though I set the lamp outside I would not use it there for safety reasons. The electrical AC adapter is not suited for outdoor use (Rain) and if you need one for that application if would look into the battery powered unit.

Overall this is an attractive piece of equipment and it would look stylish in any home location. It worked outside so I have no doubt that it will work inside your home. It is a lot better than spraying flying insect spray with those toxic chemicals. It looks like an attractive night light and could protect your children and you from being bitten.

Please look at the photos I added for this review. I was provided with a blue light version for test and evaluation and I promised to do a fair and honest review. The product worked well for me except that it did not kill all of the very small insects that it trapped in one outdoor test. Does it work? The photos speak for themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, gets some insects, July 7, 2012

A. Dent "Aragorn" (Minas Anor, GD) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: INADAYS InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer - Purple

First of all: DISCLOSURE

I am reviewing this product because the makers of INADAYS InaTrap sent me a free unit. They did not ask for a 'good review' and I did not promise or imply that a good review was forthcoming.

FEATURES AND OPERATION

According to the manual, the trap's UV light attracts little insects such as mosquitoes. Also according to the manual there is a 'photocatalyst coating' on the top of the light which produces a small amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The light and the CO2 should attract mosquitoes and other small insects. The CO2 should be spread trough the airflow that the built-in fan generates.

The insects that approach the light are sucked by the fan into a small cage at the bottom of the trap and they usually stay there until they die. Based on my observations some gnats appear to be killed by the UV light outright because I found many dead gnats around the trap rather than inside the cage.

This model needs to be plugged into a power outlet to work (no battery) and the touch switch at the top controls its operation: 'off' when the switch is not backlit, continuous operation when the backlit is yellow/orange and 12 hours on/12 hours off when the backlit is green.

The trap's cage can be easily removed to dispose of trapped insects (warning: not all are dead) and to clean it. There are no maintenance instructions but this one was easy to figure out. Not so sure how to replace the UV lamp which, according to the manual, should be replaced every 2 years. Hopefully the lamp's own installation instructions should discuss that when such a replacement becomes available (see below).

According to the manual, you can make the trap more attractive to mosquitoes if you place a bottle cap with a little wine in it to produce more CO2 and another one with a small amount of body lotion to simulate the scent of human fat.

PRESENTATION

InaTrap's design is just lovely and its best feature. I never imagined that an insect trap could look this good. In fact, mosquitoes or not, the InaTrap can easily double as an outdoor nightlight (on patio, lanai) or even indoor if you don't mind the fan's low hum.

The manual provides some useful information but it would benefit from a better English translation.

EFFECTIVENESS

The InaTrap clearly catches some insects. Our vacation site appears to be mosquito-free but three is a fair amount of gnats flying around and the trap is full of them after a day of operation. As I mentioned above, there are quite a few around the trap, probably killed by the light. I am not sure if adding wine an lotion increases its effectiveness significantly but we found dead and trapped insects with and without them, possible more of them when the wine was added.

Repeating myself, the caught insects are not killed outright. They end up into the cage and if they are not small enough to escape through the mesh wire window, they stay in the cage until they die because the one-way airflow should make it near-impossible for them to escape the way they got in. When you take out the cage for cleaning you are likely to find a few live insects at the bottom, some dead bodes at the bottom and some dead ones trapped in the wire mesh while trying to escape. I suspect that the really small gnats manage to get out but that would be impossible for a mosquito.,

I was unable to test the trap indoors because we didn't have any insects there but as far as outdoor performance is concerned I can testify that the trap does catch some insects and that it does not catch them all. As the manual explains, it's hard to make anything that's more attractive to a mosquito or a gnat than an actual human body. For as long as the trap is placed some place away from where the people are it should at least attract some of the mosquitoes its way but it's not going to divert them all for sure - that would be an unrealistic expectation.

ISSUES

Warranty: The manual states 'please contact your local distributor for warranty information. I emailed the vendor and was told that there is a 2-year warranty on the product but I don't know what the warranty terms are so be careful.

UV Lamp: As far as I know there is no source for a replacement in the US. The vendor email stated that "our inaTrap replacement lamps are currently out of stock on Amazon. Nevertheless, we have already ordered more from the factory. Once they have arrived, we will post them on Amazon right away." If you are okay with a 2 -3 years life for the product if replacement lamps don't become available in the US this should not be a concern. The manual states that the lamp should continue to make light after 2 years only it won't be as attractive to insects as a new one.

MY EVALUATION

On the positive side, this is a very good looking lamp/trap that should blend into just about any indoor or outdoor/patio environment for as long as a power outlet is available. It also gets some of the insects that fly around at night. The gnats that fly around my head while I'm writing this review seem to indicate that the InaTrap is not as effective during the day. The documentation could be better but setup and maintenance are easy to begin with so this is not a biggie.

The concerns I already listed: warranty and replacements lamps. See above for the details.

These being said, I am pleased with the product. It's not going to get everything but it will clearly get some of the insects flying around and that's good enough for me. I did not have to pay for my unit but the price does seem to be a little on the high-end and, if fairness, the product does look 'high-end'. Can't grant the product 5 stars for the reasons noted above but 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 should be fair.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more chemical spray July 6, 2012

By fish

Amazon Verified Purchase

My wife is always the target for the mosquito in summer. She hates to stay with us in the back yard for BBQ party. I purchased this Insect Trap so she can stay outdoor and enjoy the summer evening with family and friends.

Well, we used it most of the time in the house after reading the instruction. The mosquito trap mimics the human body temperature/breath so the mosquito will be attracted near the trap and the fan will suck it in and trap it. The instruction for the Insect Trap says it is most efficiency to place it away from people or use it while you are not in the room or house. I used in in the garage, bedroom with door shut couple hours before bedtime, or living room when bedtime.

It is safe for I don't need to spray any insect repellent on us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mushroom of Doom, July 17, 2012

Jerry P. Danzig (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: INADAYS InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer - Blue

I had been looking for a convenient and compact indoor flying insect trap to replace a larger unit I have that lures bugs using black light and drowns them by blowing them into a drawer filled with soapy water.

The large unit works, but the fan is noisy and the chores of adding water and cleaning out the drawer are a hassle.

I saw this InaTrap in a gadget blog and was intrigued. The trap features a handsome mushroom-like design with a compact footprint, and I like the dual lure of the light plus the CO2 scent. I also appreciate not having to deal with a drawer of soapy water!

At any rate, I can report that after two weeks of use, the machine seems to be doing its job effectively. I live in New York City, where flying insects are not a major nuisance, but we have had our share of mosquitoes this year, as well as some no see ums that bit me pretty good a few weeks back, along with the usual house and fruit flies and moths.

Well, I haven't seen any of these critters flying around my apartment since I started using the trap, and when I emptied the trap compartment today, I was surprised to see that the machine had even caught some moths, which I would have thought were too large to get sucked in by the silent fan here.

Buyers should be aware, however, that the instructions advise NOT using the machine in your bedroom while you sleep. They say that the human body gives off ten times the amount of CO2 that this machine does, meaning that the machine can't compete with your body when it comes to attracting biting insects. Instead the instructions suggest running the unit in a different room while you're sleeping and running it in your bedroom for a few hours before you go to sleep.

Unfortunately, I live in a small studio apartment, so I keep this machine running across the room from me when I sleep -- I have no other option. I should also mention that I use an ultrasonic Sunbeam mosquito repeller, which sits on my nightstand. This sounds like a male mosquito to females -- the ones that bite -- and it makes the females stay away.

So I bought this InaTrap to deal with no see ums, fruit flies, and other flying pests as well as mosquitoes, and it seems to be attracting them despite my presence in the same room.

I should note that the machine gives off a fair amount of light, so folks who like to sleep in a dark room will have another reason not to sleep with the trap in their bedroom. This particular model offers a twelve-hour timer mode that will shut the unit off automatically at night to accommodate light-sensitive sleepers. I'm not bothered by the light, however, so I use the always-on setting to keep the machine running 24/7.

Apparently the coating that produces the CO2 when the light shines on it will last indefinitely, provided you don't remove it with a strong cleaning agent. Inadays says that the bulb will lose its ability to attract insects within two years of continuous use, and I trust that the manufacturer will make replacement bulbs readily available at a reasonable price.

So if you're looking for an attractive, effective, and convenient method to control flying insects indoors without noxious chemicals, you might want to give this little "Mushroom of Doom" a try.

Electronic Super Mario Mushroom that Eats Mosquitoes

2012-07-05T03:03:00.000-07:00

Mosquitoes, with summer comes this little nightmare that has had more than once walking through the room late, holding a shoe and, as the song says, with a veil of blood in his eyes.

From Taiwan comes InaTrap , a curious invention which, if it really works as they say, is the beginning of a long and revenge against the bloodsuckers summer.

The InaTrap mushroom is a stylish Mosquito Trap that plugs into the stream via an adapter like a table lamp. A button at the top starts the invention, according to its creators, and it is a death trap for mosquitoes.

When turned on, InaTrap launches a small circuit catalytic CO2 generated in small quantities in the same amount and rate they would make the breath of a human being.

The CO2 and a small light LED blue are the claims for mosquitoes approach the device. In doing so, a suction fan just caught in its vortex the unfortunate insect and channels it to a tank where it is trapped. The next morning we just need to remove the tank and wallow in our catches. The fan is completely silent.

The combination CO2 - LED will be as irresistible to small winged bastards and it really works can be a lifesaver, especially in some areas with high population summer mosquitil .

InaTrap insect killer takes insects out in designer style

By Darren Quick

17:57 June 14, 2012

The InaTrap insect killer lures insects using an intermittent light and photocatalyst reaction to produce CO2

We know there’s an ongoing quest to build a better mousetrap, but what about a better insect trap? That’s just what Acase, working with design house inadays, believes it has done with the creation of the InaTrap. With an appearance not dissimilar to a designer lamp, the InaTrap attracts, traps and kills insects so you can ditch the swatter and insect spray.

The device boasts a number of features designed to lure in mosquitoes and other insects and trap them in the base of the unit. A photocatalyst in the top dome produces low levels of carbon dioxide to simulate human breath, while a low power CCFL UV light flashes intermittently. Once the insects are drawn into the area under the top dome, a noiseless fan pushes them into the removable holding container in the base of the unit. A dash of wine or steric acid can also be placed in the holding container to enhance the device’s powers of attraction.

The unit’s designer looks and its 8.46 x 8.46 x 12.4 inch (21.5 x 21.5 x 31.5 cm) dimensions are intended to give it the appearance of a porcelain sculpture rather than an insect killing machine in the home, while its 2.64 lb (1.2 kg) weight allows it to be easily taken outdoors. It comes with an AC adapter for indoor use and a rechargeable battery that provides nine to 10 hours of outdoor use. The unit also comes with a timer that will see the unit operate continuously for eight hours.

The InaTrap comes in baby blue or pastel purple, with the blue retailing at amazon for US$84.99 and the purple going for $89.50. Although judging by the press pics, more colors will be available in the future

InaTrap High-Tech Insect Trap Keeps Mosquitos From Ruining Your Cookout

by JULIE on JUNE 17, 2012 · 2 COMMENTS

The InaTrap from Acase is a futuristic looking LED lamp that attracts those nasty blood sucking mosquitos and traps them without having to use harmful sprays, chemicals or even propane gas. A noiseless built-in fan produces a small amount of carbon dioxide to lure the mosquitos and then sucks them into the trap. It features an 8 hour built-in timer, easy clean design and an instant touch power button. The InaTrap is available now through Amazon for $89.50. I wonder if this device works better than good old Citronella candles?

The InaTrap is a pretty stylish looking insect trap

When it comes to insect traps, the majority of them can be eyesores but since they aren’t always required and they’re there to just serve a singular purpose, we guess we can’t really complain. However for those who are extremely particular about the way their household items are designed, Acase has collaborated with design house inadays to come up with the InaTrap, which as pictured above would have totally not passed off as an insect trap on first, second and probably the third glance as well!

Looking rather alien-like in design, the InaTrap works via a photocatalyst built into the top dome of the device where it produces low levels of carbon dioxide meant to simulate human breath, along with a low power CCFL UV light that flashes intermittently. Once the insects have been lured to the device, a noiseless fan pushes them into the base of the device which can be removed for cleaning purposes. Alternatively other insect attractors such as wine or steric acid can be placed in the holding chamber to help enhance its “attractiveness”.

The InaTrap comes with a built-in rechargeable battery that promises 9-10 hours of use, along with an AC adapter if you’re planning to just leave it in one spot all the time. Now if you thought that this was a concept, it’s not and it’s actually available for purchase via Amazon. The blue version is retailing at $84.99 while thepurple version is priced at $89.50. Who knew insect traps could look so stylish! In the meantime you can check out the video below to see the design process of the InaTrap.

Acase Inatrap is a fancy way to annihilate bugs

Summer is a most joyous period in which you may spend quality time outdoors. The only issue with being outside are the bugs that come with it. Namely mosquitoes, as one bite from them will have you itching for a week. While bug zappers and chemcial killers are effective, they are either noisy or smelly. This is going to affect your precious time in temperate weather, so it should seem only proper that you would want a quieter, less-intrusive way of dealing with insects.

Acase has recently unveiled a product called the InaTrap, which is a very sophisticated way to rid yourself of bugs. It looks quite similar to a ceramic lamp, and uses a very peculiar, yet brilliant method of attracting its prey. The top portion produces carbon dioxide through a photo-catalyst reaction with a warm atmosphere. This will make bugs think that a human is present. The middle section provides a soft LED light that will lure them in. Once they are close, the bottom portion will suck them in, as it has a fan that lets things in, but not out. These will cost you anywhere from $85-$90 at the moment, and might be a worthwhile purchase.

Acase shows off InaTrap insect killer

by Edwin - on June 15th, 2012

There are many ways to skin a cat if you have the know-how, but how many ways are there for one to kill insects? Mosquitoes are always a huge nuisance for many of us, especially those of us who live in the tropics. Not only do these have a vicious bite, their bites leave you with the risk of catching some disease as well as an itching sensation which prove hard to soothe if you do not have the right ointment. While there is a fair amount of traditional methods to prevent mosquitoes from coming near you, technology, too, has a role to play in this situation.

Take Acase for example – their InaTrap insect killer is said to be one elegant solution in doing away with these pesky mosquitoes as well as other irritating insects around you in an eco-friendly way – and yet without requiring you to plant Venus flytraps strategically all over the place. Not only that, there is also no use of harsh chemicals, propane tanks or unsightly equipment to get rid of these pesky insects, but rather, the Inatrap is said to be able to easily prevent mosquitos from spreading diseases or creating itches and scratches on your skin.

The functional design of the InaTrap will lure mosquitoes in using a soft LED light as well as a photo-catalyst reaction which is said to produce low levels of CO2 in a warm atmosphere, hence fooling the mosquitoes into thinking that there is a human among them. When flying too close close to the Intrap’s vicinity, the mosquitoes and insects will end up trapped in a retainer cage thanks to a little help by the whisper-quiet and yet powerful fan.

Tom Hsieh, Sales and Marketing Manager of Acase, says, “Inatrap allows us to enjoy a weekend picnic, camping trips or even an evening in the living room without the need to worry about insects. You can eliminate mosquitos and other insects in a lot of ways, but only InaTrap will do it effectively, safely and in style.”

Specially designed to resemble an avant-garde porcelain sculpture, Inatrap does not weigh anything more than three pounds, and is ideal for a portable outdoor trip, or to remain indoors when dusk falls. Not only that, there is also an 8 hour built-in timer and an instant touch operation button that makes it a no-brainer to operate. Expect the Inatrap to retail for $64.95 each.

LED fly trap sends bugs to death in style

Drop dead gorgeous. Killer good looks. This new fly trap is a designer's dream and a summertime bug's worst nightmare all wrapped into one. The new designer fly trap with the glowing LED light is a little lamp that will look great on your deck, but packs a unique punch to keep the bugs away from your outdoor leisure time.

Most of us are used to smelly citronella candles or bug zappers that sound like someone just fired off a taser instead of killing a mosquito. This InaTrap from Acase sends out a lovely glow from its LED bulb; the LED light combined with a photo-catalyst reaction produces a warm waft of CO2 that mimics a human breath.

The hapless bugs just can't resist the CO2 — and can't tell it's not human. Plus, "that light is freakin' fantastic," thinks the bug collective, and once they are too close to the glowing light to realize it's a trap, they are drawn into the stealthy little fan and dropped into pest prison.

At that point, let 'em fly or let 'em die; it's entirely up to you whether you empty the container before they go legs up.

Yes, I officially want to test one out. The light actually seems functional in it's own right regardless of it's unique bug trapping duties, and you've gotta love that.

The InaTrap is available from Amazon starting at $90.

Designer Fly Trap Is A Beautiful Way To Kill Bugs

ANDREW LISZEWSKIJUNE 14, 2012 11:30 AM

If for some reason you feel guilty whenever you kill a mosquito or other annoying bug, this beautifully sculpted fly trap should ease your pain. We can’t imagine a more elegant or soothing place for insects to meet their demise.

But Acase’s $US80 InaTrap isn’t just about looks; it’s also packing some innovative technology to lure insects into its trap. Using a soft glowing LED light and a photo-catalyst reaction, it produces warm CO2 that mimics a human’s breath. And since that’s how mosquitos and other flying insects always seem to find you, they’re fooled into approaching the trap until they’re sucked into an escape-proof cage by a whisper-quiet fan. At that point you can either play the benevolent human and release them into the wild later, or just let the corpses pile up as a warning to other would-be blood suckers.

Acase Unveils InaTrap, Possibly The Best Looking Insect Killer

Long story short… I haven’t had the best luck with insect traps… specifically mosquito traps. Most have failed me. In fact I have wasted quite a bit of money on useless mosquito traps like the NosQuito trap. With that said, I have yet to get my hands on the Acase InaTrap which is one good looking bug catcher. The InaTrap claims to catch bugs / mosquito’s using a soft LED light and a photo-catalyst reaction which produces low levels of warm CO2… it then traps them with a quite and powerful fan. Can’t wait to try one out… full press release after the break.

Acase, in partnership with award-winning design house inadays, unveils InaTrap, the elegant way to eliminate mosquitos and insects without the use of harsh chemicals, propane tanks or unsightly equipment. Through the combination of technology, eco-friendliness, and elegance, Inatrap easily prevents mosquitos from spreading diseases or creating itches and scratches.
Inatrap’s functional design lures mosquitos in by using a soft LED light and a photo-catalyst reaction to produce low levels of CO2 in a warm atmosphere, mimicking the presence of a human being. Once close to Intrap’s vicinity, the mosquitos and insects are trapped in a retainer cage by the whisper-quiet, yet powerful fan.

“Inatrap allows us to enjoy a weekend picnic, camping trips or even an evening in the living room without the need to worry about insects,” said Tom Hsieh, Sales and Marketing Manager of Acase. “You can eliminate mosquitos and other insects in a lot of ways, but only InaTrap will do it effectively, safely and in style.”
Designed to resemble an avant-garde porcelain sculpture, Inatrap weighs less than three pounds, making it portable and ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. In addition to featuring an 8 hour built-in timer and an instant touch operation button, Inatrap is also easy to clean and 100% noiseless.

Designer Fly Trap Is a Stunningly Beautiful Way to Murder Bugs

If for some reason you feel guilty whenever you off a mosquito or other annoying bug, this beautifully sculpted fly trap should ease your pain. Because we can't imagine a more elegant or soothing place for insects to meet their demise.

But Acase's $80 InaTrap isn't just about looks. It's also packing some innovative technology to lure insects into its trap. Using a soft glowing LED light and a photo-catalyst reaction, it produces warm CO2 which mimics a human's breath. And since that's how mosquitos and other flying insects always seem to find you, they're fooled into approaching the trap until they're sucked into an escape-proof cage by a whisper-quiet fan. At which point you can either play the benevolent human and release them into the wild later, or just let the corpses pile up as a warning that other would-be blood suckers should stay clear.

Designer Insect Trap: InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer

Is the world ready for a designer insect trap? The world has no choice because it’s here. The InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer was designed by award-winning design house inadays to be a functional yet attractive way to eliminate mosquitos and other dangerous insects safely.

The InaTrap uses a soft LED light and a photo-catalyst reaction to produce CO2. The combination of light and carbon dioxide (which mimics human breath) attracts the insects. A whisper quiet fan then sucks them into the retaining cage at the bottom part of the unit. No harsh chemicals or unsightly equipment. The drawer slides out so you can empty the trap of the dead insects. I have to admit this thing looks great- like a little mushroom house.

Elegant Sculpture Kills Bugs With An LED, Carbon Dioxide, And A Fan

As summer descends, the concern over annoying and potentially dangerous insects such as mosquitoes escalates. With the threat of known insect-spread viruses, i.e., West Niles, Lyme disease, etc., and the fear of unknown infections, outdoor lovers and home dwellers alike ponder their defense options. These can range from mild sprays and lotions to mixtures one step less potent than Agent Orange.

Well, the war on insects in the home, garden and office, mosquitoes in particular, has a new weapon, one that promises to eliminate the need for toxic chemicals. Acase, partnering with design house Inadays, offers InaTrap. Described as an “elegant way to eliminate mosquitoes and insects without the use of harsh chemicals, propane tanks, or unsightly equipment”, the environment-friendly unit’s patented technology relies on a photo-catalyst reaction and a LED.

The makers of InaTrap describe it as an elegant and eco-friendly way to exterminate mosquitoes in and out of the home.

A photo-catalyst reaction producing low levels of CO₂, similar to human breath, works with an LED producing a soft light and warmth. This combo creates an environment highly attractive to mosquitoes and other insects, luring them into the unit. Once inside, a powerful, whisper-quiet fan blows the insects downward into a trap.

Resembling a mushroom, the porcelain-like sculpture weighs less than three pounds, which makes it easy to move around for both indoor and outdoor use. Other features include an integrated eight-hour timer and an instant touch-operation button. Also, maintenance is a snap. Just dump out the dead bugs when the trap is full and, depending on the level of usage, replace the LED every two years as per the manufacturer’s recommendation. Average retail price is $64.95 to 79.95 each.

My personal approach to insect control is fairly straight forward. If I’m outdoors in the insects’ domain, I’m fair game. If they come into my home, my domain, I’ve always been in favor of chemical warfare, opting for the pest strip that warns “Do not place within 1,000 feet of humans and livestock”. But maybe this year I’ll give the InaTrap a try.

Fake or Coincidence?

2012-06-15T00:55:00.000-07:00

Fake products become one of nowadays trend now. It's not surprise, Inatrap Photocatalyst Mosquito Trap also no exception. Recently we bought 2 similar products from the internet. Let me show you what's the difference.

Basically, the specifications look same. I guess they probably came from the same manufacturer so we just take one brand as the comparison.

Fake product : cheap and not qualify electrical wire

Above are certificated electrical wire.

Fake product has many messy wires.

This is not qualify for BSMI certification in Taiwan.

What size of electrical wire do they use?

No brand wire is thinner and very easy to pull off

Fake brand: Only used 2 screws to lock the fan thats why fan sound is very noisy when the engine is working .

Let’s see photocatalytic reaction test.

Stamp ink is made by organic material and it would fade after photocatalytic activity.

Take a wet towel to rub ink on the white plastic board of GR-01. Use a card to block 1/2 ink and put it under UV irradiance for 5 minutes.

We use large UV light to shorten the process of photocatalytic.

Remove the card and you can found that photocatalytic reaction will let the blue ink fade.

Obviously, photocatalyst experiment of fake product had not the same result.

Use another reagent to test photocatalytic activity. If material has photocatalyst, reagent color will change to light green.

We use the same reagent on fake product test. There was not reaction. OMG...

Please choose the original brand for the high effectiveness and satisfication.
