mega catch alphaLittle brother to the top-performing Mega Catch Ultra and the bestselling Mega Catch Premier, the Mega Catch Alpha Pro 910 is an entry-level mosquito trap which employs some of the same winning technology as the other Mega Catch models with a pricetag of under $150.

The Mega Catch Alpha doesn't have as many high-tech features as the more expensive insect catchers, but it offers up to a half acre of coverage at a reasonable price. The energy efficient Alpha Pro 910 uses less electricity than a 20 watt bulb.

The company literature mentions that the Mega-Catch Alpha can be used indoors or out. I have to say we're not big fans of using mosquito traps indoors - there's always the chance that the mosquitoes will find a tasty human before they find the trap - but the Alpha's certainly portable enough and there are no toxic emmissions, so you can certainly gve it a try if you're game! (Just remove the ocetnol strip first or it will leave a nasty smell in your house!)

Introduced in 2020, the MCA-910 (Alpha Pro 910) replaced the previous Alpha model, the MCA-900.
