Mosquito research \u00b7 Dongguan, China<\/p>

We study the mosquito.
Then we build what catches it.<\/em><\/h1>

Pittar is a mosquito research and manufacturing company. Since 2003 we have turned host-seeking science \u2014 carbon dioxide, body heat, moisture and UV light \u2014 into traps that importers, distributors and pest-control operators sell under their own label.<\/p>

What we build<\/p>

Three families. One engineering team.<\/h2>

Outdoor CO\u2082, outdoor solar, indoor UV. The mechanism changes with the site; the engineering discipline does not.<\/p><\/div>

\"Outdoor<\/figure>

CO\u2082 traps<\/p>

Outdoor CO\u2082 mosquito traps<\/h3>

Carbon dioxide, warmth and counter-flow suction for gardens, resorts, farms and municipal programmes. Cylinder or LPG generator.<\/p>

\"Solar<\/figure>

Solar lamps<\/p>

Solar mosquito lamps<\/h3>

Self-powered outdoor units that switch on at dusk. No wiring, no running cost, no insecticide.<\/p>

The mechanism<\/p>

How a Pittar trap works<\/h2>

A female mosquito looking for blood follows a chain of cues. Every model we build closes one link in that chain.<\/p><\/div>

01<\/p>

Breath<\/h3>

Carbon dioxide is the long-range cue. We meter the plume so it reads like a resting host, not a leaking cylinder.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

02<\/p>

Heat and moisture<\/h3>

A warm, humid surface holds the insect at the trap mouth long enough for the fan to take over.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

03<\/p>

Light<\/h3>

UV-A at 365 nm attracts the nocturnal species that ignore CO\u2082. Our lamps use the wavelength Aedes responds to.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

04<\/p>

Capture<\/h3>

Counter-flow suction pulls mosquitoes into a dry basket. No insecticide, no zap, no residue on the wall.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The science<\/p>

Mosquitoes do not bite at random.<\/h2>

Host-seeking is a sequence: a plume of CO\u2082, a warm body, moisture, lactic acid, and a dark silhouette against a bright background. Remove one cue and the catch falls. Add the right cue at the right height and it climbs.<\/p>

That is why we publish our reasoning, not only our specifications. Placement, species and season decide more of the result than wattage does.<\/p>
