Abstract: Objective To determine the specific parameters of mosquito trap luring system, air?drying killing system and filtration system of a new type mosquito trap. Method A parallel test was used to compare the numbers of mosquitoes caught in the two trapping combinations, i.e., Kung Fu handsome photocatalytic mosquito trap+Domestic Qi Dong trap as Group A and Kung Fu handsome photocatalytic mosquito trap+BG lure as Group B, within 24 hours under laboratory conditions; an air?dried execution experiment was carried out to compare the number of deaths at different levels at wind speed within 24 hours under laboratory conditions; both indoor and outdoor experiments were used to compare the number of mosquitoes and insects captured by mosquito traps with different sizes of filters. Results The numbers of mosquitoes captured by Group A were (57.40 ± 19.71), higher than that by Group B (42.80 ± 15.83)(P<0.05) . The average numbers of mosquitoes killed were 18.67, 25.33 and 30.00 at the wind velocity of 0, 1.4 and 3.0 m/s, respectively(P<0.01). The average numbers of mosquitoes captured at 24 hours were 2.00, 15.67, 60.33 and 68.00 in apertures of 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 mm, and blank control group, respectively (all P < 0.01). The average numbers of mosquitoes captured in apertures of 3.0 and 4.5 mm were lower than those in the blank control group (P<0.01 for both). In outdoor experiment, there was no significant difference in the numbers of mosquitoes captured by different aperture screens (P > 0.05). The average numbers of insects captured in groups with 4.5, 6.0, and 7.8 mm apertures were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion The effect of the trap with Qi Dong lure is better than that with BG lure. The number of mosquitoes killed by air drying was the most at the wind speed of 3.0 m/s. And the filter of 6-7.8 mm size has the best filtering effect.
