InaTrap insect killer takes insects out in designer style
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
