Why Mosquitoes Come Inside
Mosquitoes don't randomly wander indoors. They're actively attracted by three things: carbon dioxide (your breath), body heat, and light. Open windows, poorly sealed doors, and warm indoor lighting all create an invitation.
Why Repellents Alone Don't Solve the Problem
DEET sprays and citronella candles protect you personally but don't reduce the mosquito population in your space. The moment the repellent wears off or the candle burns out, mosquitoes return. To actually reduce indoor mosquito numbers, you need to trap and kill them.
How UV Mosquito Traps Work
UV light mimics the wavelengths that attract mosquitoes and other flying insects. When they approach the light source, they're either trapped on a sticky board or killed by an electric grid — no chemicals, no odor, no noise.
Sulguy UV Mosquito Trap uses 365nm UV light to attract mosquitoes, fruit flies, and gnats. The quiet suction fan draws them in and traps them on a replaceable sticky board. Safe for use in bedrooms, kitchens, and around children and pets.
Where to Place Your UV Trap
- In the bedroom, 1–1.5m off the ground — where mosquitoes hover at night
- Near windows and entry points where mosquitoes enter
- In the kitchen to catch fruit flies and gnats near food
- Turn off competing light sources to maximize attraction
Combine With Basic Prevention
UV traps work best alongside simple prevention measures:
- Fix window screens and seal gaps around doors
- Eliminate standing water inside and outside — even small amounts in plant trays breed mosquitoes
- Use Sulguy Peppermint Spray around entry points as an added deterrent
