ABSTRACT
This study presents the design and construction of a Rechargeable mosquito trap with UV (LED’s) and fan-driven suction mechanism. Mosquitoes are a major global health hazard because they can spread a number of fatal diseases. As a potential remedy, this study aimed to design, construct, and evaluate the efficacy of a rechargeable mosquito trap lamp equipped with UV light and a fan-driven suction mechanism. The design capitalizes on the mosquito's innate attraction to UV light and dark materials (blue and black). The well-considered placement of the fan creates a gentle breeze that lures mosquitoes into a capture chamber, where they are trapped and unconscious. Additionally, the rechargeable battery feature makes the traps more portable and less expensive to operate than traditional, constantly plugged-in traps. The research presents recent advances in light spectrum optimization with narrowband UV LEDs and sophisticated fan-driven suction mechanism, as well as the use of lightweight and energy-efficient materials, to improve trap performance and sustainability. Along with improving user comfort and hygiene, the capture chamber's washable and detachable design makes maintenance and sanitation easier. In order to propel the development of effective, eco-friendly, and user-friendly mosquito control solutions, this study provides a comprehensive design and construction method for a rechargeable UV and fan-driven suction mosquito trap lamp.
