- How does the DT152 catch insects?
- A UV bulb attracts flying insects, and a fan pulls them into a screened basket where they dehydrate. There is no zap and no chemical.
- What insects does it work on?
- It works best on fruit flies, gnats, small moths and other insects drawn to UV light. It is weak against mosquitoes and large flies.
- How often does the bulb need replacing?
- Dynatrap recommends a new UV bulb about every season of continuous use, since output fades before the bulb burns out.
- Where should I place it?
- Put it near the problem area, such as a fruit bowl, trash can or garage corner, and keep it away from competing light. It is not meant to cover a whole house.
- Is it loud?
- The fan is quiet, closer to a small computer fan than a zapper. Most owners find it fine in living spaces but noticeable in a silent bedroom.
- Does it need to run all the time?
- Continuous running gives the best catch, since insects are drawn in over hours. It plugs into a standard outlet and has no battery.
