CDC UpDraft Blacklight (UV) Traps

Effective Mosquito Capture with the CDC UpDraft UV Trap – Superior Field Performance

CDC Design for Superior Capture of Anopheline Mosquitoes with UV Light and Updraft Airflow

The CDC UpDraft Blacklight (UV) Trap Model 1312 was developed from a design of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In field tests in Central America, it caught several times more Anopheline mosquitoes than standard CDC Miniature or New Jersey light traps, making it a superior sampling tool.

The utility of blacklight (UVA) in attracting a greater number and diversity of mosquito species, Culicoides, and Phlebotomines is well known. Our UV traps employ a 4-watt blue-blacklight tube and a very efficient transistorized inverter-ballast to provide radiation in the near-UV range (ca. 320-420 nm), ensuring maximum attraction.

Features

• Its proven design allows you to capture more Anopheline mosquitoes compared to standard traps.
• Its 4-watt blue-blacklight tube attracts a greater number and diversity of insects.
