Sure we have those Chinese made mosquito and bug killing<br \/>\nracquet shaped devices and biggest establishments often use electricity-sipping<br \/>\nmosquito zappers to keep these pesky bloodsuckers at bay, but none of these<br \/>\ndevices have been too effective at ensuring that mosquitoes don\u2019t take the<br \/>\nliberty of biting humans in their surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/1_lcfhe1.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default;float: none;margin: 0px;width: 400px;height: 407px\" title=\"Mostrap could end the mosquito problem for good\"><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>However, designer Vishakan Shivasubramaniam has come up with<br \/>\na new invention that promises to keep mosquitoes at bay and also control their<br \/>\npopulation effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2_sbeus.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default;float: none;margin: 0px\" title=\"Mostrap could end the mosquito problem for good\"><\/p>\n<p>The device comes with a special component which houses<br \/>\na mixture of yeast from which very small amounts of CO2 is secreted. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/3_joxz2.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default;float: none;margin: 0px\" title=\"Mostrap could end the mosquito problem for good\"><\/p>\n<p>Since the CO2 produced by humans is a huge draw for mosquitoes,<br \/>\nthe device is able to mimic the scent of human skin. When used, the device<br \/>\ncalled Mostrap produces a scent that is nearly undetectable by humans though it<br \/>\nattracts mosquitoes just like a very sweaty, very fat person. The trap features<br \/>\na funnel at the top through which mosquitoes are lured into the device.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/4_gv2vp.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default;float: none;margin: 0px\" title=\"Mostrap could end the mosquito problem for good\"><\/p>\n<p>Once inside, they are zapped by the electric grid and die. The<br \/>\ndevice thus acts as a mosquito lurer, a bug zapper and a dead mosquito<br \/>\ncollector as well. The designer has not specified how the dead mosquitoes are<br \/>\ncleaned from the device but if this thing really works as promised, we won\u2019t be<br \/>\ncomplaining much about having to shake dead bloodsuckers from the gadgets every<br \/>\nonce in a while.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/5_i8g94.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default;float: none;margin: 0px\" title=\"Mostrap could end the mosquito problem for good\"><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Mostrap remains a concept for the time being though it<br \/>\nis certainly a product whose time has come and we\u2019re sure to see this on our<br \/>\nstore shelves as soon as the designer perfects its design.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dealing with mosquitoes is a problem that the world\u2019s<br \/>\nbrightest scientists and the most brilliant of innovators have not been able to<br \/>\nfigure out till date.
