A portable mosquito killing system for use indoors and out of doors is disclosed. The system includes a base member having a plurality of apertures disposed on a floor and a roof, a canopy member having a flat top section and a plurality of outwardly sloped downwardly disposed sides. A cylindrical tower is disposed between the base and the roof and has an inner shell and an outer network of electrified low voltage wires in a spaced apart relationship for forming an annular zone therein. A plurality of upstanding non-conducting rods are also in the annular zone. A transformer converts current from 120 volts to a lower voltage for delivery to the low voltage wired network. A thermostat maintains the heat emitting tube in an operating temperature range, and a pilot light indicates the electrical operating status of the transformer and the heat emitting tube.
A new and improved portable mosquito killing system for use indoors and out of doors comprising, in combination:
A mosquito killing system for use indoors and out of doors comprising a base member having a floor having a plurality of apertures and a roof, a canopy member having a top section and a plurality of outwardly sloped downwardly disposed sides, a cylindrical tower therebetween having an inner shell and an outer network of electrified low voltage wires in a spaced apart relationship for forming an annular zone therein, and a plurality of upstanding non-conducting spacer rods within the annular zone, the base member further including means for urging gasseous flow through the plurality of apertures in the floor and then through the apertures in the inner shell of the tower, and then through the spacer rods and then through the low voltage wires, and then to the exterior of the system to attract mosquitos, transformer means for converting current from 120 volts to a variable lower voltage for delivery to the low voltage wires, a heat emitting tube within in the tower and thermostatic means coupled with respect to the heat emitting tube for maintaining the heat emitting tube in an operating temperature range, and status means for indicating the electrical operating status of the transformer means and the heat emitting tube.
