It has been proven over the last several years that the using a CDC type Miniature Light Trap provides an excellent method of attracting a large quantity and species of mosquitoes. The UV Model 2503 trap design is patterned after the light trap originally developed by the United States Centers For Disease Control. Once collected the insects can then be identified and counted to provide a statistical representation of the population density and type of species in any given area. Collecting a sample of mosquitoes using this light trap can provide invaluable information necessary for evaluation and control of the mosquito population.

Once analyzed, this information can be used to:

• Accurately determine the most efficient treatment times and locations
• Provide information on how well the spray pattern is penetrating target areas
• Identify disease carrying species and the potential for vector-borne diseases in the area
• Determine species resistance to different insecticides
