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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
