Mega-Catch™ Ultra Mosquito Trap (MCU-800)
A couple of years ago, one the most revolutionary mosquito traps to hit the market was the Mega Catch Premier, and with good reason: It just ... worked!
Enter the Mega-Catch Ultra. The Ultra adds a patented, slow-release, variable CO2 dispersion technology which accurately mimics warm-blooded "prey", greatly increasing the capture rate. This trap becomes even more irresistible to mosquitos wth the addition of an optional octenol or multi-species lure and creative use of the wet capture tray (see capture methods below).
The use of CO2 or octenol is optional,and you can also choose between the wet and dry (traditional mesh net) capture methods. Using only the built-in light and heat to attract mosquitoes, the trap requires no refills or supplies, uses about as much power as a 40 watt bulb, and still does an adequate job in most situations.
The Mega-Catch Ultra has some impressive customer feedback, but even more convincing are the well-documented independent test results, including a test conducted by the USDA . Put to the test in challenging places like the swamps of Florida and Far Northern Queensland in Australia, the test results showed that the Mega-Catch significantly outperformed competing machines, including the Mosquito Magnet Liberty and Pro, in nearly every respect.
The Mega-Catch Ultra is not pretty and it's not cheap, but it's reliable and it works. It works well. If you're battling a challenging mosquito problem, this, used in conjunction with common-sense preventative measures, is by far the most effective way to fight back!
