UM displays the Mosquito Attractant [MMA] on youtube. This is a lab video to visually confirm and display the mosquito probing reaction to MMA emission. When mosquitoes becomes aggressive and attempts to land and probe like that, it will be the exact kind of reaction that makes the chemical suitable as a lure for mosquito traps. Traps often advertise that they work but never show this kind of videos.

Hi Foon,

I mentione earlier that Mos Trap (By EZZ Marketing) does capture mosquitos, but not many, over the span of 5 days, there was only approx 10 mosquitos. But if we use the mosquito swat, we can actually kill approx 40-50 mosquito a night. So, i am quite dissappointed up to now, unless the device proves me wrong soon.
Can someone from EZZ marketing do some explanation on their product?

By the way guys, in actual fact, mosquitoes are not attracted by UV light but most other insects are. Also the type of UV tube also plays a large part in attracting insects. UVA is the best tube for this and as far as I know, most suppliers of UV traps in Malaysia does not use this type of tube including Khind.

I suggest that you contact EZZ and ask them direct so that they can give you some instructions on how to use the trap effectively.

I bought the MosTrap from a hardware shop in SS2 last week. Been using it in and outside of the house for nearly a week now. It does capture mosquitos, but not many, over the span of 5 days, there was only approx 10 mosquitos. But if we use the mosquito swat, we can actually kill approx 40-50 mosquito a night. So, i am quite dissappointed up to now, unless the device proves me wrong soon.

I really need help!!! Is there someone out there who can help me get rid of the mosquitos in my house????

Any news on the MMA thingy from UM to be made available in the market???

I desperately need help……

To Mary

EZZ trap is using Octenol and Lactic Acid. You can get the details from their website http://www.mostrap.com …………

Many of us are using it. It’s worth the try. For best results, you need to follow the instruction on how to put the trap.

Referring to the ezz marketing trap. It is that effective?
Do you mean it can catch 30 to 40 mosquitoes per night when you use mma with additional attractants of octenol and lactic acid?

Is there any prove? Is there any test been done by any university or laboratory?
Interested to have if is proven. You know a lot in the market claim very effective but ended catching moths.

Please do tell us more of your experience of how you use it.

Hi Fellows

There is one Mosquito Trap at Parkson which has additional attractants of Octenol and Lactic Acid and has proven to catch some 30 to 40 mosquitoes per night. . Distributor is EZZ MARKETING.

UM is still testing the MMA. It should be available by year end and posted on the net eventually.

I will leave a post with photos soon.

The samples I received came in a gel form, in a disposable cup. You have to get a small aquarium air pump for Rgt 10 and blow air into the cup. The scent escapes from an outlet. You place this emitter beside the Traps, like above, outside your house, where it is dark and the rain will not wash out the trap and emitter.

The trap and emitter is then set with a plug-in-timer, which I bought from an electrical shop for rgt 16, The trapping time is set for 8.00 pm to 6.00 am, and you will catch mosquitoes every night.

My average trapping was around 80 mosquitoes a night in the initial months, but it is down to around 30 later. It has been raining heavily the past month and I catch around 15 nightly in the past few weeks. Each gel cup will last for 3 months plus.

It is amazing that there is a constant supply of mosquitoes, but it is a gratifying feeling when you see the mosquitoes sticking on the electric grill. I brush them out with a stiff paint brush.
