Abstract: A mosquito control device has a mosquito attracting and obliterating unit coupled to a heat-generating unit operable to supply heated CO2 and moisture to the mosquito attracting and obliterating unit. The device uses a combination of female mosquito attractants that incite mosquitoes hunting instincts including CO2, moisture, static thermal imaging, dynamic thermal imaging, spot thermal imaging and special lights. Once the mosquitoes are attracted, the device uses vacuum air to suck mosquitoes into a receptacle designed to keep and maintain the mosquitoes until they dehydrate and eventually die.

Abstract: A mist-generating device that can be connected to a vehicle's Low Direct Current Voltage (LDCV) power supply is disclosed. The device can be used to treat mold, bacteria and clean or remove odors on exposed and hard-to-reach surfaces of the interior of a car. The device can include a unique filling system that can be used to prevent foreign materials from entering into the unit, including fluids or substances that would deteriorate the performance of the unit or the components of the device itself. The inside of the device can include an internal anti-foam and anti-splash structure designed to keep electronic components dry and reduce the foaming and turbulence of the fluid being misted. Further, the inside of the device in one embodiment is split into three adjacent areas, which govern efficient flow of air and atomized chemicals through the device.
