CDC Miniature Light Trap
The CDC Miniature Light Trap was developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to provide a reliable and portable sampling device for the collection of mosquitoes and sand flies used in arbovirus and taxonomic studies. This basic trap is capable of once-a-day tending when fitted with the PhotoSwitch.
Highlights
- Control motor and light with optional ON/OFF photoswitch.
- Use with collection cup or killing jar.
- Downdraft fan keeps catch in the collection bag.
Design Characteristics
This battery operated trap is being used throughout the world in arbovirus and taxonomic studies. It has become a standard, battery-operated survey tool for mosquito control operations. This basic trap is capable of once-a-day tending when fitted with the optionally available PhotoSwitch (LCS-2) and Air-Actuated Gate System. When configured with a switch and gate, it is possible, with only a small battery, to collect for 3 or 4 nights with only one trip to the trap.
LCS-2 PhotoSwitch
The LCS-2 (part number 1.60) turns a trap on at dusk and off at dawn. When used with the optional Air-Actuated Gate System, the LCS-2 conserves battery life and allows a single trip to the trap per day for consecutive days of collection.
Optional Air-Actuated Gate System
Our patented gate system employs a butterfly check valve downwind of the motor which is opened by air from the fan and closed by counter-balancing weights. The gates and pivot shafts are made of stainless steel and are entirely maintenance free.
When used with the CDC Miniature Light Trap fitted with a PhotoSwitch, it is possible to use only a small battery to collect for 3 or 4 nights with only one trip to the trap. When a series of traps are being run, the combination of PhotoSwitch and gate system results in substantial labor savings by allowing once-a-day tending and eliminating the need for early morning and late evening work.
