Pet-Safe Mosquito Trap Without Chemicals

Why Physical Insect Traps Are Safer for Pets
Chemical roach killers and mosquito sprays often contain pyrethroids, which may cause neurological issues in cats and dogs (ASPCA). In contrast, pet-safe insect traps use UV light to attract bugs, then capture them on sticky boards—no toxins involved.
The Science Behind UV Light Attraction
Insects perceive UV wavelengths (360-400nm) 3x brighter than humans (Journal of Experimental Biology). A flying insect trap mimics this spectrum to lure mosquitoes, fruit flies, and moths. Tests show UV traps reduce 65% of indoor pests within 2 weeks.
3 Keys to Pet-Friendly Pest Control
- Non-Toxic Design: Avoid zappers or poison baits; opt for sticky board traps.
- 24/7 Protection: Plug-in traps work continuously—ideal for kitchens (fruit fly hotspots).
-
Placement Tips: Install near windows/doors at 1.2m height, away from pet beds.
Conclusion
A pet-friendly roach killer and mosquito eliminator, UV traps offer a sustainable way to protect your home. By leveraging insect phototaxis, they provide chemical-free insect control without compromising safety.
