Mosquito and Sandfly Traps
   
  Day or nighttime collection of mosquitoes and sandflies including specific traps for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus or gravid Culex mosquitoes. Battery-powered traps feature incandescent or blacklight (UV), downdraft or updraft fans, CO2 release and photocell control.
   
  Daytime Traps for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
   
 
CDC Fay-Prince Trap

The CDC Fay-Prince Trap Model 712 is a daytime trap which is quite specific for Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus adults of both sexes. It was designed by the Technical Development Laboratory of CDC. Baited with CO2, it is the trap of choice for Aedes sierrensis.

   
 
Omni-Directional Fay-Prince Trap

The Omni-Directional Fay-Prince Trap Model 112 is a daytime trap which is quite specific for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus adults of both sexes; it will capture gravid and nuliparous females. Based on the original CDC Fay-Prince Trap, this Model 112 trap increases the collection of females since they can be captured arriving in any direction.

   
 
CDC Wilson Trap

The CDC Wilson Trap Model 1912 was a cooperative design effort of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the New Orleans Mosquito Control Board for the collection of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus.

   
  Traps for gravid Culex quinquefasciatus, etc.
   
 
Frommer Updraft Gravid Trap

The Frommer Updraft Gravid Trap Model 1719 operates in a fashion similar to the CDC Gravid Trap Model 1712 but has a collection chamber below the fan so the adults are not exposed to the aspiration fan; the result is pristine specimens that are easy to identify.

   
 
CDC Gravid Trap

The CDC Gravid Trap Model 1712 is particularly good for collecting virus-positive mosquitoes since it was designed by Dr. Paul Reiter of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to collect gravid Culex mosquitoes.

   
  New Standard Night and Daytime Battery-Powered Traps
   
 
New Standard Miniature Light Trap

The New Standard Miniature Incandescent Light Trap Model 1012 features 100% light output and maximum airflow for superior catch results. The internal programmable photoswitch can control any combination of motor and/or light on and off at dusk and dawn.

   
 
New Standard Miniature Light Trap with Photocell-Controlled CO2 Release

This trap (Model 1012-CO2) combines the proven performance of the New Standard Miniature Incandescent Light Trap with a small precision pneumatic valve controlled by the trap's internal photoswitch that turns on and off the release of CO2 with the light level. 

   
 
New Standard Miniature BlackLight (UV) Trap

The New Standard Miniature BlackLight (UV) Trap Model 1212 uses maximum airflow and an internal super-efficient transistor ballast to drive a 4 watt blue-blacklight tube for superior catch results. The internal programmable photoswitch can control any combination of motor and/or light on and off at dusk and dawn.

   
  Night and Daytime Battery-Powered Traps
   
 
CDC Miniature Light Trap

The CDC Miniature Light Trap Model 512 was developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to provide a reliable and portable sampling device for the collection of mosquitoes and sand flies used in arbovirus and taxonomic studies. This basic trap is capable of once-a-day tending when fitted with the optionally available PhotoSwitch and Air-Actuated Gate System.

   
 
Ruggedized Storm Sewer Light Trap

The Ruggedized Storm Sewer Light Trap Model 519.55 was developed in concert with entomologists with the Mosquito Control Division of the Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services for trapping primarily Culex quinquefasciatus females in storm sewer systems.

   
 
CDC Fay-Prince Blacklight (UV) Trap

The CDC Fay-Prince Blacklight (UV) Trap Model 812 adds a blacklight tube and ballast to the popular CDC Fay-Prince Trap for day and nighttime collections. This trap is quite specific for Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus adults of both sexes. Baited with CO2, it is the trap of choice for Aedes sierrensis.

   
 
Miniature Downdraft Blacklight (UV) Trap

The Miniature Downdraft Blacklight (UV) Trap Model 912 is similar to the CDC Miniature Light Trap Model 512, but includes a blacklight tube support and ballast. Blacklight (UV) aids in attracting a greater number and diversity of mosquito species, Culicoides, and Phlebotomines.

   
 
CDC UpDraft Blacklight (UV) Trap

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 did standard CDC Miniature or New Jersey light traps.

   
  Permanent-Mounted 110/220 VAC Traps
   
 
New Jersey Stainless Steel Light Trap

The New Jersey Stainless Steel Light Trap Model 1112 has been a long time standard for mosquito control operations. The large stainless steel trap is usually permanently mounted and is available with an optional PhotoSwitch and Programmable Seven-day Timer.
