Mosquito traps that use UV light also kill beneficial insects, and the user needs a selective mosquito control solution.
Existing mosquito traps like Dynatrap use UV light to attract insects but lack selectivity, killing beneficial insects along with mosquitoes.

App Concept
BugSelect Mosquito Trap
A mosquito trap that uses a combination of CO2 and targeted lures instead of UV light to attract only mosquitoes, sparing beneficial insects. The trap uses a fan to capture mosquitoes without broad-spectrum light, reducing bycatch.
Key Features
- CO2 and lure-based attraction (no UV light) to target mosquitoes only
- Powerful fan for efficient capture without harming other insects
- Reusable lure cartridges that last 30 days
- Weatherproof design for outdoor use
Target Users: Homeowners in mosquito-prone areas who want effective mosquito control without harming bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Revenue Model: $99.99 for the trap, $14.99/mo subscription for replacement lures and CO2 cartridges
