The ProCatch NIGHTGUARD is an outdoor suction fan light trap designed to protect patios and gardens from mosquitoes in the evening. A dual-wavelength UV-A LED lamp attracts insects, then a powerful yet quiet fan draws them into a collection chamber, where an anti-escape system holds them until they dehydrate – no high voltage, no sparks, no zapping noise and no chemicals. Its IP24 splash-resistant housing is built for open-air use.

How to Use
- Hang or place it about 1–1.5 m above the ground, 5–10 m away from the seating area, so it draws mosquitoes away from people.
- Switch it on about an hour before sunset and leave it running all night, as mosquito activity peaks at dusk and dawn.
- Keep it away from other strong light sources.
- Empty the collection chamber regularly after unplugging the unit.
Tip
NIGHTGUARD suits gardens, outdoor seating, rest houses, farms and home courtyards. Running it continuously for several days gives the best results, as it gradually reduces the mosquito population on site.
How Many Units Do You Need?
One unit covers up to 300 sqm; divide the area of the space by 300 for an approximate count. A 600 sqm space needs 2 units, ideally placed around seating areas, 5–10 m away from them.
FAQ
Can it handle rain?
It is IP24 splash-resistant, but do not place it under sprinklers or where water collects.
When should I switch it on?
An hour before sunset, leaving it on all night; results improve with continuous use over several days.
Does it zap insects?
No. A fan draws insects into the collection chamber with no high voltage or sparks.
Important Note
- Splash-resistant, not submersible; do not place it under direct sprinkler water or where water collects.
- Unplug before emptying the collection chamber or cleaning.
- Replace the UV-A lamp roughly every 12 months even if it still lights up, as its attraction power fades over time.
