mosquito trap
Insect luring device
A mosquito trap is a device designed to attract, capture, or kill mosquitoes.
Traps use various lures—carbon dioxide, heat, light, or chemical attractants—to mimic human presence and draw mosquitoes in, where they're captured or electrocuted.
We set up mosquito traps around the patio for the party.
Unlike repellents, which drive mosquitoes away, traps aim to reduce the local population.
