Design Characteristics

The Fay-Prince trap (Fay and Prince, 1970) was specifically designed and field tested for the collection of Aedes aegypti by scientists from the Technical Development Laboratories of the Communicable Disease Center, DHHS. The design is based upon the attractiveness of contrasting gloss black and white panels and employs a wind-orienting cover and cylinder that houses a suction motor and supports the collection cup or killing jar.

The Model 812 CDC Fay-Prince UV Trap is supplied with a 4-wt blacklight system identical to the one used in the Downdraft Model 912 and Updraft Model 1312 Blacklight (UV) Traps.

CO2 Release

The addition of dry ice which involves CO2 gas, results in significant increases in the number and diversity of mosquitoes caught and makes the location of the trap less critical. Used in the afternoon, it allows the collection of diurnally active mosquitoes that are not normally attracted to light traps. Our Insulated Dry Ice Container is simply a modified Igloo® drink cooler with stainless steel hardware to make it easy to use with 2kg of dry ice. The insulation slows the rate of sublimation and by hanging the trap from the hook below the cooler, the CO2 is released at the correct location, right above the trap.
