Question:
There is a popular yet expensive mosquito exterminating device called
the Mosquito Magnet. It utilizes propane fuel to catalytically run a
fuel cell and generate heat, co2 as well as electricity to run a fan.
There is a less expensive device made by Lentek called the Mosquito
Trap. It apparently lacks any fuel cell or catalytic process and
generates co2 and heat using a little propane-fed flame.
Is the Mosquito Trap an inexpensive knockoff of a proven device? Would
purchasing one of these be tantamount to buying a "Bolex" watch, or
investing in software from "Microfost"? Does the flame actually
achieve similar results in terms of heat, co2, and mosquito
attraction?
Is anyone aware of any studies or comparison data between these
devices?
Do they work at all or should I walk around soaked in DEET.
