The ProCatch VORTEX is a suction fan light trap for mosquitoes, flies and flying insects in homes, seating areas and gardens. 9 UV LEDs (388nm) attract insects, then an internal suction fan draws them into the collection container where they dehydrate – no zapping, no odour and no chemicals. It runs on a 12V adapter at only 4W, covers up to 60 sqm and has a timer and sleep mode for quiet night-time use.
