When the first mosquito of the season came to disrupt my sleep, I was reminded of that and went out (on the Internet) looking for a trap which would attract mosquitoes more than my poor skin and restore my sleep to its main function: dreaming.
I found several companies selling such a product, actually two models which kept appearing on the various websites under different names.
I tracked the source of these products and - thanks to Google as always - found it to be a Chinese company by the name of V-Mart. If you want to order a 20-ft or 40-ft container of them, that's the place.
The product is something hi-tech producing CO2 with a UV lamp and a catalyst through a "photocatalytic reaction". Don't ask me too much, I don't want to know, I told you I just want to sleep and dream.
If you sleep in only one room at a time, then here are some of your options:
- Buy if from a small website in the Netherlands under the poetic name of BliZzz
- Order from a Belgian wholesaler, Velleman, who sells it under the brand Perel
- Order in France from "JR International" who apparently distributes Velleman (same brand, same reference name...)
- Order through eBay from a company called BioEcotech in Malaysia which offers the prodcut under the name Mozztech
And, last but not least, if you are, like me, a fan of big retailers, then you will be glad to learn that Auchan sells the small model for just €19,90, under the brand name "Sib Domotix"!
Since that's less than half the price JR International wanted for it, I left all my principles aside and ordered from big, evil, retailer Auchan and... now you're going to ask me if it works.
Well that will be for another post because I need to fly to Paris to collect my brand new mosquito trap!
