Infrared insect/mosquito killing system

A method for eradicating insects such as mosquitoes, said method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing an upright hollow tower extending in a first direction with separate first and second chambers;
• b) providing an electrocution device surrounding said first and second chambers and extending along said first direction;
• c) forcing air into said tower;
• d) heating air within said first chamber;
• e) passing heated air from said first chamber at a first air pressure to said second chamber at a second air pressure lower than said first air pressure;
• f) projecting heated air outwardly from said second chamber in a direction transverse to said first direction to an area surrounding said electrocution device to attract mosquitoes or other insects to said electrocution device by simulating human or animal breathing;
• and
• g) electrocuting mosquitoes thereby attracted to said tower with said electrocution device.

A system for attracting and eradicating insects or mosquitoes, said system comprising:

• a base adapted to be disposed upon a supporting surface;
• a heating tower extending upwardly from said base, said tower comprising an interior;
• fan means for drawing air into said system and establishing an air stream through said tower interior;
• heater means for warming said air stream;
• a first plurality of separate, vertically spaced orifices for discharging warmed air streams from said tower in a direction transverse to the extending direction of said tower for simulating the infrared signature of breathing animals, thereby attracting insects;
• and
• means for electrocuting mosquitoes attracted to said tower.
