The presence of pests will not overshadow the life on the plot, if you use a mosquito exterminator.
Types of devices
Mosquito exterminators for the street come in many variations.
Ultraviolet
The simplest, most affordable and compact insect trap. The mosquito exterminator in the open air is a device consisting of an ultraviolet lamp, a tray and a frame. Among analogues, devices of this type distinguishes a lot of advantages:
- they are safe;
- have a low cost;
- there is the possibility of their use, both indoors and outdoors;
- some models have additional functions (pump, vacuum system, battery or attractant spray).
The effect of ultraviolet light begins from the moment the device is connected to the mains. Its warmth and light attract the attention of insects. As a result of which, being in the zone of operation of the lamp, pests die and fall into the pan.
On a note!
Electric mosquito traps effective not only against mosquitoes, but horseflies, as well as flies and midges. They have a modern design, so they easily fit into the interior.
Gas
A gas shredder is a more effective option for combating annoying insects in a summer cottage. They represent a completely different principle of operation of the unit with powerful fans. Thanks to what the device quickly relieves the seasonal dacha or a garden of pests.
Gas exterminators attract the attention of pests due to the release of propane from the cylinder, the product of which after combustion becomes carbon dioxide simulating human respiration. There are also destroyers that use carbon dioxide cylinders.
The device for killing annoying insects is also equipped with a fragrant substance (attractant), similar to the smell of human skin and sweat. Mosquitoes, flies or wasps flying up to the device are sucked into the structure by a pump. After which they will be inevitably killed by an electric charge.
The advantages of such an apparatus include:
- easy maintenance;
- uninterrupted work process;
- catching various winged insects;
- and most importantly, security.
On a note!
The disadvantage of this device is the need for replaceable cylinders. More simple to operate is gas fumigator Thermacell.
Water
The water device from mosquitoes and midges is used both indoors and outdoors. Insects are attracted by heat emanating from the trap.Pests approaching the exterminator are sucked in by a water stream from which they cannot get out.
Laser
One of the latest technologies designed to combat harmful insects is a laser mosquito gun. The principle of operation of an electronic device is based on the use of an optical system that processes images received in it. It can determine the type and gender of an insect using infrared radiation. When the desired object appears, the signals are transmitted to a more powerful laser, which instantly hits the victim.
On a note!
A laser mosquito gun can recognize and destroy a pest located 30 meters away.
Fog system
Another street shredder is a fogging plant. In the process, it forms the smallest drops of water, which contribute to the cooling and humidification of the air. They are also used to protect against insects. It is enough to add an insecticidal agent (repellent) to the liquid intended for spraying. This will create a kind of barrier for pests. Most often, anti-mosquito systems use insecticides, the active ingredient in which is pyrethrum.
The presence of nozzles in a special anti-mosquito construction makes it possible to economically use an insecticidal reagent. Thanks to what the generated fog is safe for humans and pets.

Thanks to the unique design, the trap keeps pests inside, preventing them from flying back.
Advantages of the device:
- Aero street system covers an area of up to 50 acres;
- It comes with a carbon dioxide cylinder, the level of which is controlled by a pressure sensor;
- due to the lack of high-voltage grids, Aero shredder can be used in areas with a humid climate, where watering systems are often used;

- can also work as a lighting fixture (about 60 hours), in the lighting mode (up to a day);
- impact area up to 50 sq. m
The insect attracts the soft violet light of two LEDs with UV radiation. But bloodsuckers die by touching the built-in high-voltage grating, through which a powerful electric charge passes.
