Lantern from mosquitoes - caring towards people, merciless to bloodsuckers

For those who rest in the summer at the cottage, who like to sleep at home in the summer when the window is open, annoying mosquitoes become a real calamity. Nothing can poison people's rest like these flying bloodsuckers. Different in terms of efficiency and complexity of the means are tried in the fight against them. Something helps more, something less, something - nothing at all. What place in this row is the lantern from mosquitoes?

All mosquito nets are divided into scaring mosquitoes and attracting them. And we are talking only about mosquito females. They play a decisive role in the biological cycle of reproduction, mating with males and postponing every 2-3 days to one and a half hundred eggs. But that this cycle is repeated again and again, females need blood. "Donors" of mosquitoes - people - give off carbon dioxide, a specific smell of sweat, they are accompanied by an elevated body temperature compared to the surrounding environment and lighting outside and inside the premises. These signs are used by females.

The mosquito lantern, based on the search for mosquito females of blood, imitates several such signs at once. One of his devices will convert everyone's usual household gas to propane into carbon dioxide, thereby simulating human breathing. In another device there is a special bait that gives off a smell, which is very close in composition to the human sweat. Heaters increase the temperature of the device to the body temperature of people. Finally, lamps, including ultraviolet, also serve to attract mosquitoes.

Komarov is inevitably waiting for death, and it is different, depending on what features of the design has a lantern against mosquitoes. Their flight to it can suddenly be blocked by a metal grate, which is energized - very small, but sufficient, so that all the blood-suckers caught on it die from the electric discharge. The grid is securely protected, so neither a person nor a pet accidentally touch it will not be able to. There are flashlight-vacuum cleaners, literally sucking their victims into the vacuum compartment, where the exit is impossible because of the adhesive tape covering it. In this compartment mosquitoes dehydrate and die.

A repellent lantern from mosquitoes, on the contrary, causes bloodsuckers to leave the zone of its action as soon as possible. His work is based either on the reproduction of a special sound, or on the formation of a cloud of another chemical substance - a repellent - that is invisible to the human eye.

Sounds that repel mosquitoes are different. One is published by a male mosquito. Females, already fertilized and thirsting for blood to start the biological cycle of reproduction, avoid repeated fertilization and fly away from the males. Another sound is an alarm when a predator appears. The third publishes not a mosquito, but a dragonfly - a sworn mosquito enemy, the rustle of dragonfly wings can scare bloodsuckers.

Repellent, which uses, for example, a lantern from mosquitoes "Raptor", is extremely unpleasant for bloodsucking insects, but the composition is a natural insecticide that is released by some plants. Therefore, it is completely harmless to humans and pets.

The overwhelming majority of such household appliances is made in a design ideally suited for lighting a room or a home territory. Therefore, the mosquito lantern is able, in addition to protecting from bloodsucking and annoying insects, to give a cozy light to the window sill with an open window, a country house, a veranda, the place where you arranged a picnic in the open air or fry shish kebabs.
