HOW IT WORKS

Setting Up Your Bug Vortex Mosquito Catcher

Indoor & Outdoor Setup Tips for Maximum Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes are more than just annoying — they can carry harmful diseases and ruin your comfort, whether you’re relaxing indoors or enjoying the outdoors. That’s where Bug Vortex comes in.

Our innovative mosquito catcher uses CO₂-mimicking technology to simulate human breath, attracting large numbers of mosquitoes into its powerful trap. With a 215 square foot coverage area per unit, Bug Vortex is your go-to solution for effective, quiet, and chemical-free mosquito control.


Where to Use the Bug Vortex

Thanks to its compact size, whisper-quiet fan, and USB-powered design, Bug Vortex fits perfectly into a variety of everyday settings:

Indoors:

  • Bedrooms (especially near cribs or sleeping areas)
  • Living rooms and dens
  • Kitchens or dining areas
  • Dorm rooms and studio apartments
  • Home offices
  • Cabins or Airbnb rentals

Outdoors:

  • Patios and decks
  • Campgrounds and picnic sites
  • Backyard BBQ setups
  • Gazebos or screened porches
  • RVs, vans, and tiny homes

With 215 square feet of effective range per device, you can cover small to medium-sized rooms or outdoor lounging areas with just one unit — or combine multiple for larger spaces.


Powering Your Bug Vortex

Bug Vortex is USB-powered, giving you total flexibility whether you're at home or on the go:

  • Indoors: Plug into a wall outlet using any USB adapter, or into a computer/laptop.
  • Outdoors: Connect to a portable power bank, solar USB charger, or even your vehicle’s USB port.

It’s the ideal mosquito solution for homebodies, travelers, campers, and digital nomads alike.


Placement Tips for Best Results

Because Bug Vortex mimics the carbon dioxide humans exhale, it draws in mosquitoes with scientific precision. For the best performance, keep these tips in mind:

Indoor Setup:

  • Place the unit 3–6 feet off the ground, near common mosquito entry points like windows or doors.
  • Keep away from strong air currents (like fans or A/C vents) to maintain the trap’s airflow effectiveness.
  • Turn off nearby light sources to eliminate distractions and help the trap stand out.
  • Run it continuously, especially during peak mosquito hours (typically dusk to dawn).

Outdoor Setup:

  • Position Bug Vortex in a shaded, wind-protected area (e.g., under a canopy or umbrella).
  • Avoid placing it directly in high-traffic gathering spots — place it 15–20 feet away to draw mosquitoes away from people.
  • Elevate slightly off the ground using a small table, ledge, or hook.
  • Use a weather-resistant power bank or keep power connections protected from moisture.

Pro Tip: Mosquitoes love still water, dense foliage, and damp soil. Place your Bug Vortex nearby — but not directly in — these areas to maximize its trap potential.


Easy to Use & Maintain

Bug Vortex is low-maintenance and hassle-free:

  • Empty the trap bin every 2–3 days for optimal airflow.
  • Wipe the fan and vents with a soft, dry cloth as needed.
  • Keep USB ports dry and free from dust or dirt.

Advanced Tech, Simple Results

Unlike zappers or sprays, Bug Vortex attracts mosquitoes using science, not noise or chemicals. Its smart system mimics CO₂ and uses airflow to trap mosquitoes inside a vortex chamber — quietly and effectively.

No refills. No smoke. No harsh smells.

Just plug in, set it up, and let the Vortex do the work — whether you're trying to sleep in peace or enjoy a night on the patio.
