The Challenge

Outdoor mosquitoes drive complaints from residents and guests

  • Year-round breeding — standing water on balconies, gardens, podiums and car parks.
  • Limits of chemical spraying — odour, residue and repeat labour cost; not ideal near residents or F&B.
  • Pressure on management — mosquitoes hit resident satisfaction, restaurant ratings and venue image.

How the MK06 system helps →

Key Points

  • Three lures in one: UV light, CO₂ and human-sweat scent.
  • Chemical-free suction capture — safe for busy sites.
  • All-weather: IPX6 metal body, 24/7, ground-mountable.
  • Two core models: solar MK-06 SOLAR 3 & mains MK-06-3.
  • MA-02 lure boosts catch.
  • Maintenance service included — less to manage.
How It Works

Three lures, near and farUV light · CO₂ · human-sweat scent

An effective outdoor trap must attract at a distance and capture up close. Far range relies on CO₂; close range on heat, scent and light. This is the MK06 three-lure principle.

UV light mosquito lure diagram
1

UV light

Mosquitoes are drawn to light; MK06 uses ultraviolet light to attract them to the unit at close-to-mid range.

CO2 mosquito lure diagram
2

CO₂

Hungry females detect humans by CO₂ from a distance. MK06 releases CO₂ so mosquitoes are drawn in from far away.

Human-sweat scent mosquito lure diagram

Human-sweat scent

MK06 adds a human-sweat scent that works with UV and CO₂ to strongly attract blood-seeking females; add the MA-02 lure for more.

Why control matters

Outdoor mosquitoes are a public-health risk, not just a nuisance

Mosquitoes are a serious public-health problem worldwide, spreading dengue, Japanese encephalitis, malaria and more. Hong Kong's warm, humid subtropical climate suits rapid breeding, and after rain or typhoons, standing water becomes a breeding ground.

For sites with heavy footfall, mosquitoes affect experience and carry disease and liability risk. Sprays and coils act fast but wash off after rain, leave odour and residue, can build resistance, and raise long-term cost. For long-term, low-maintenance management, a three-lure outdoor trap (MK06) that captures physically and continuously is more predictable and sustainable.

Hong Kong Misting has delivered environmental solutions to local institutions since 2009 — cooling, purifying, restoring and energy-saving; outdoor mosquito control is a core service.

Five steps to deploy outdoor traps

Right placement matters more than adding units. We plan an effective, budgetable solution in these steps.

1

Share site details

Send photos, a floor plan, the area and mosquito situation on WhatsApp — we assess site type, sunlight and hot spots; no site visit needed.

2

Choose the model

By sunlight hours & orientation and power supply, pick solar MK-06 SOLAR 3 or mains MK-06-3, and confirm mounting.

3

Plan units & placement

Size the count by area and pressure; place near active zones but away from crowds; avoid over-wide spacing.

4

Add MA-02 lure

In high-pressure areas, add the MA-02 lure to strengthen night-time attraction and lift overall catch.

5

Scheduled maintenance

Add a plan to clean the chamber, replace consumables and check operation, adjusting placement by season.

Add-ons

Accessories & add-on services

Pair MK06 with these lures and pest-control products for a complete, cost-effective solution.

1

MA-02 sweet attractantboosts catch

MA-02 mosquito attractant pack

Used with the trap, it releases a slow, human-skin-mimicking scent to draw mosquitoes in. A controlled-release polymer; a waterproof housing lets it diffuse through a membrane while resisting rain, humidity and light. Replace roughly every 1–2 months.

2

MA01 insect glue sheetwith MK06 / BG Gat

MA01 insect glue sheet

A sheet for use with MK06 or outdoor traps that mimics insect-preferred scents — especially effective on blood-seeking females. Mosquitoes, sensitive to humidity, heat, CO₂ and lactic acid via antennae hairs, get stuck to the sheet.

3

MA03 photocatalyst coatingmimics human breath CO₂

MK series body with Tio photocatalyst coating

A photocatalyst (Photocatalyst) coating whose surface breaks organics down into CO₂, mimicking human breath. It works wherever air contacts the surface — even where UV can't reach. All MK-series bodies carry a Tio coating that converts organics to CO₂ and water vapour, then warms via the lamp to mimic exhaled CO₂ — clean, no pollution.

Buyer's Guide

Outdoor mosquito trap buyer's guide & FAQs

From trap types to placement — common questions, easy for readers and for AI search to cite.

What types of mosquito traps are there? Electric-grid vs suction?
Two main types. Electric-grid lamps electrocute insects and leave debris around the unit; some aren't waterproof. Suction (roll-in) traps draw mosquitoes into a catch chamber to dry out — cleaner and better outdoors. MK06 uses the suction design.
Solar vs mains mosquito trap — how to choose?
Mains is ground-mountable and low-power but needs a waterproof line — good for shade or low-sun spots. Solar is powered by the sun, needs good sunlight and orientation, and needs no wiring — but costs a little more. Choose by sunlight hours, orientation, power and ESG direction.
How does an outdoor mosquito trap attract mosquitoes?
An effective trap works near and far. Far range uses CO₂; close range uses heat, scent (human-sweat / lactic) and UV light. MK06 combines all three to surround mosquitoes near and far.
How much does the MK06 mosquito trap cost?
Traps range from hundreds to thousands. A high-value MK06 outdoor trap with the MA-02 lure attracts by scent at night for better efficiency. For a commercial quote, send your site details on WhatsApp.
Where should I place an outdoor mosquito trap?
Typically on balconies, terraces, gardens, near trees or by doorways where mosquitoes are active. Keep a sensible distance from people to draw mosquitoes away; spread multiple units by area, avoiding over-wide spacing. We assess placement first.
Why are outdoor mosquito traps usually black? Is UV safe?
Mosquitoes are more sensitive to black; a black body absorbs heat in sunlight and reads as a human target, improving capture. On UV: typical mosquito lamps use ~380nm ultraviolet, which does not directly harm people; the process is odourless and silent.
Does the outdoor mosquito lamp rust? Is it waterproof?
MK series suits outdoor use, with a stainless/metal body and splash-resistant design, certified to IPX6 — the body stays waterproof in rain and is fine for long-term outdoor use.
Once installed, can I just leave it?
Any trap needs regular cleaning and source monitoring. Best practice: spread units by distance, clean the chamber and replace the lure regularly, and clear standing water weekly. Prefer our maintenance service if you'd rather not manage it.
Procurement FAQ

How Do Mosquito Traps Work

Product trapping method are well-designed and refined over many years to trap mosquitoes effectively, such as features that fan-dry mosquitos, as well as electrical and glue sticking methods. For smaller areas, you can opt for an extra high-density trapping net for midges. The key feature of each trap is how to attract mosquitoes. There are three levels of mosquito traps below, and even solar mosquito traps.

Level 1: UV Only

In most cases, a mosquito trap is equipped with a UV light, that uses 253um human UV to lure the mosquitoes into the trap. It’s effective to catch flies and gnats, at all ranges. Most of UV light mosquito trap Hong Kong has a photocatalyst coating on the lamp. It can create a low volume of vapor and CO2, which helps to lure them into the trap.

How the MK mosquito trap works – three-lure principle

Level 2: UV + Smell

There’s also mosquito / midge attractant to enhance the effect and usually is placed next to the light. It’s a little piece usually the size of a coin. It is made of an herbal-based combination and is able to recreate the scent of human sweat and breathe. It usually smells like LPG if placed very close. After a series of tests of various attractants, we found this to be the best recipe that best attracts mosquitoes. Each attractant can last for approximately 1-2 months.

MK mosquito trap working-principle diagram

Level 3: UV + Smell + CO2 Gas

Humans out CO2, and this helps attract mosquitos. In previous generations, CO2 is created by heating up LPG. This old method creates two problems, energy waste (8KG LPG converts 5KG CO2 or less) and possible air pipe blockages. While heating up LPG, it also creates a lot of burning residual, which will be left inside the machine, surroundings and pipework. It requires a high level of effort to clean and maintain the setup, and malfunctions are frequent.

Hence, we offer a CO2 gas direct. The trap can give out CO2 directly from CO2 gas container, which is pure CO2 gas and is easy on maintenance.

Mosquito Trap Rental Services

In the hot and humid Hong Kong summer, outdoor environments frequently experience mosquito problems, and this is inevitable. Frequent rains and the humid ground make up the best environment for mosquitos and spawning. When people or guests are usually wearing shorts in summer, outdoor events are sometimes negatively affected by this “unwelcome guest”. So, we also provide mosquito trap rental services for short term customers. During day time, the machine can attract mosquito with our special tried and tested attractant recipe. During night time, the trap emits out a UV light (blue light) that resembles human UV, and also produces the smell. Fee free to contact our team for solar mosquito traps.
