Product Description
The Alpha, like all of our traps, does not use (potentially) dangerous propane gas. Instead it uses patent pending multifrequency digital pulse LED lighting, a slightly heated surface, and an optional scented lure (called Octenol lures). The trap will work without the lures, but will work much better with them.
Octenol lures are a synthetic scent made to imitate the smell of warm-blooded animals. You won't be able to smell it, but the mosquitoes will. One lure will last for one month.
As the mosquitoes start probing the trap, they sense the infra red heat inside, and the internal fan sucks them in. They are swept into the catch bag, where they quickly dehydrate and die.

Questions about the Megacatch Alpha Electric Mosquito Trap
- From Terry at 8/20/10 2:45 PM
- Does this particular product attract ONLY mosquitoes? Or does it indiscriminately kill all, even beneficial, insects attracted to the light and heat, like many mosquito light 'zappers' on the market?
- This product will zap bugs that are attracted to the light and heat, and yes you are right that this is indiscriminate. However, the effects on beneficial insects can be mitigated by using the trap only in areas where mosquitos are a nuisance, and at the times of day when mosquitos are most active, which is dawn and dusk.
Beneficial insects are more commonly active in the garden or flower beds during the daytime.
I appreciate that you are concerned about the beneficial insects.
