[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish between different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0035] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] In the relevant technical field, existing air conditioner mosquito control technologies typically involve installing a trapping device on the air conditioner itself. When the air conditioner is turned on, the trapping device releases carbon dioxide through a photocatalytic reaction to simulate human breathing or uses a mosquito trap to attract mosquitoes. The device then releases an electric current through an electric mosquito net to kill the mosquitoes. However, this technology simply combines the air conditioner with the trapping device, resulting in low mosquito control efficiency.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of the mosquito control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application. Although a logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that shown in the accompanying drawings. Specifically, the mosquito control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application is applied to an air conditioner, and a trapping device is provided at a target position of the air conditioner. The target position of this embodiment can be the upper side of the outer shell of the air conditioner indoor unit, or the lower side of the outer shell of the air conditioner indoor unit, or the left side of the outer shell of the air conditioner indoor unit, or the right side of the outer shell of the air conditioner indoor unit, and of course it can also be other positions, which are not specifically limited here.

[0038] The specific process of the mosquito control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0039] S101, when the mosquito killing mode is activated, obtain the current air outlet position.

[0040] The mosquito killing mode refers to the operating mode for killing mosquitoes after the air conditioner is started. The current air outlet position refers to the specific angle or position of the air direction swing device (such as the up and down wind swing or the left and right wind swing) of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0041] Optionally, the air conditioning control system determines that mosquito-killing mode is activated upon receiving a "mosquito-killing mode" activation signal from a remote control. Alternatively, the air conditioning system detects mosquito activity indoors using a built-in infrared sensor and automatically activates mosquito-killing mode upon confirming the presence of mosquitoes. Other activation methods are also possible and are not specifically limited here.

[0042] Optionally, the fixed angle range of the upper and lower air sway is 0° to 90° (with 0° horizontally and 90° vertically downward), which can be evenly divided into 10 equal parts, each corresponding to an air outlet angle of 9°. The control system detects the real-time position of the upper and lower air sway through the angle sensor to determine which of the 10 discrete angle intervals it is located in. For example, the fixed angle is detected to be 27° (corresponding to the third interval). Finally, the detected angle or angle interval is recorded as the current air outlet position. Alternatively, the control system determines the angle interval based on the most recent air outlet angle set by the user (set via the remote control or application), and finally records the detected angle or angle interval as the current air outlet position. Of course, there may be other ways to determine the current air outlet position, which are not specifically limited here.

[0043] S102, adjusting the air outlet parameters according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position to drive the mosquitoes to the target position.

[0044] The term "positional relationship" refers to the relative spatial relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, which can be represented by an angle difference or a distance difference. Air outlet parameters refer to parameters related to the airflow control of the air conditioner, including but not limited to wind speed, wind direction, and air outlet mode (such as concentrated air outlet mode or diffuse air outlet mode).

[0045] It is understandable that mosquitoes are sensitive to changes in airflow. Therefore, this embodiment sets the current air outlet position to be closer to the target position, and the corresponding air outlet parameters are more suitable for mosquitoes to stay, thereby driving mosquitoes from a place far away from the target position (the air outlet parameters of this position are not suitable for mosquitoes to stay) to the target position (the air outlet parameters of this position are suitable for mosquitoes to stay), thereby cooperating with the mosquito killing work of the trapping device to improve the mosquito killing efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, it is assumed that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner casing, which is recorded as a fixed angle of 0° (0° in the horizontal direction and 90° vertically downward). Then the current air outlet position is obtained, for example, the current up and down wind swing angle is determined to be 45° through step S101. The angle difference between the current air outlet position and the target position is 45°, and the air outlet parameters are adjusted to the concentrated air outlet mode according to the corresponding relationship between the angle difference and the air outlet parameters (for example, if the angle difference is greater than 30°, it is set to the concentrated air outlet mode. If the angle difference is less than or equal to 30°, it is set to the diffused air outlet mode.). Of course, it can also be in other forms, which are not specifically limited here.

[0047] In the above embodiment, a trapping device is installed at the target location of the air conditioner. When the mosquito control mode is activated, the current air outlet position is first determined. Then, the air outlet parameters are flexibly adjusted based on the relationship between the current air outlet position and the target location, precisely driving mosquitoes to the target trapping point. This dynamic adjustment of the air outlet parameters changes the attractiveness of the air outlet environment to mosquitoes. The closer the current air outlet position is to the target location, the more closely the corresponding air outlet parameters match the mosquito retention conditions. Compared to the traditional method of simply combining trapping devices, this method can actively guide mosquitoes to the trapping area, effectively preventing mosquitoes from escaping indoors and becoming difficult to capture, significantly improving mosquito control efficiency.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the mosquito control method provided in the second embodiment of the present application. Although the flowchart shows a logical order, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than shown in the accompanying drawings. Specifically, the specific process of the mosquito control method provided in the second embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0049] S201 , obtaining a sound spectrum in the current environment, and determining the number of mosquitoes in the sound spectrum based on the acoustic wave characteristics of mosquitoes when they are flying.

[0050] The sound spectrum refers to the frequency distribution of all sound waves collected in the current environment, which is used to analyze specific sound wave characteristics in the environment. The sound wave signature of a mosquito in flight refers to the specific frequency range produced by the mosquito when flying or flapping its wings, such as between 400Hz and 600Hz, with a specific amplitude and waveform pattern. This can be used to distinguish mosquitoes from other environmental noises.

[0051] Optionally, the sound signal of the current environment is first collected in real time through the built-in microphone of the air conditioner, and then the collected sound signal is fast Fourier transformed to generate a sound spectrum, and the frequency components in the range of 400Hz to 600Hz are extracted. Then, in the retained sound spectrum, the valid frequency peaks whose amplitude exceeds the preset threshold are identified, and the number of mosquitoes is estimated based on the number of peaks. For example, each valid frequency peak corresponds to one mosquito, and the cumulative number of peaks is used as the number of mosquitoes. Alternatively, the characteristic values ​​such as the number of peaks and peak width in the retained sound spectrum are extracted and input into the machine learning model, and then the number of mosquitoes is estimated based on the probability value output by the machine learning model. For example, if the model identifies three high-confidence (>0.8) mosquito sound wave signals, the number of mosquitoes is determined to be 3.

[0052] S202: If the number of mosquitoes is greater than the number threshold, the mosquito killing mode is activated.

[0053] Optionally, the quantity threshold is 1, and of course it can also be set to other values, which are not specifically limited here.

[0054] In the above S202-S202, by collecting the sound spectrum and estimating the number of mosquitoes based on the sound wave characteristics of mosquitoes when flying, the intelligent perception of the number of mosquitoes is realized, and then the start of the mosquito killing mode is determined based on the number threshold, thereby realizing the automatic start of the mosquito killing mode.

[0055] S203, when the mosquito killing mode is activated, obtain the current air outlet position.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the principle of the above S203 is basically the same as that of S101 in the mosquito control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application, and therefore will not be repeated.

[0057] S204: Adjust the air outlet parameters according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position to drive the mosquitoes to the target position.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet parameters include the air outlet speed. In S204, the air outlet parameters are adjusted according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, specifically including: if the current air outlet position is closer to the target position, the air outlet speed is adjusted to be slower.

[0059] Among them, the air outlet speed refers to the wind speed generated by the fan inside the air conditioner.

[0060] Optionally, it can be adjusted in gears, and parameters such as the number of gears and the angles corresponding to each gear can be set according to actual needs. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner shell, the upper and lower wind swing fixed angle range (0° to 90°, with the horizontal direction as 0° and the vertical downward direction as 90°) is divided into 5 equal parts (n=5), corresponding to the angles n0 (0°, upper side), n1 (22.5°), n2 (45°), n3 (67.5°), and n4 (90°, lower side). The wind speed of the internal fan is divided into 5 gears (m=5), from m0 (0.5m / s) to m4 (5m / s). Perform the following steps in sequence: Step A: Control the upper and lower wind swings to the lower fixed angle n4 (90°), and blow air at the m4 wind speed (5m / s) for 10 seconds to drive mosquitoes away from the initial position. Step B: Adjust the up and down wind to the lower angle n3 (67.5°), and blow air at the m3 wind speed (3.5m / s), with a sweep speed of 0.5° / second, for 10 seconds, to continue to guide the mosquitoes to move upward. Step C: Adjust the up and down wind to the middle angle n2 (45°), and blow air at the m2 wind speed (2m / s), for 10 seconds to reduce the airflow intensity. Step D: Adjust the up and down wind to the upper angle n1 (22.5°), and blow air at the m1 wind speed (1m / s), for 10 seconds to further reduce the wind speed. Step E: Adjust the up and down wind to the upper angle n0 (0°, close to the target position), and use the m0 wind speed (0.5m / s) to swing the wind left and right (±10°, sweep speed 0.3° / second) for 10 seconds to create a low-speed airflow suitable for mosquitoes to stay. Step F: After completing the above steps, the loop returns to step A and continues to execute to ensure continuous expulsion and capture.

[0061] Alternatively, it can be a continuous adjustment. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner casing, the upper and lower wind swings are fixed in the angle range (0° to 90°, with the horizontal direction as 0° and the vertical downward direction as 90°), and the upper and lower wind swing angles move smoothly toward the target position (0°) at a fixed speed (for example, 0.5° / second). First obtain the current air outlet position, then calculate the angle difference between the current air outlet position and the target position, and finally determine the air outlet speed corresponding to the angle difference through a linear function, for example, v1=a×(θ / 90), where v1 is the air outlet speed, a is the upper limit of the air outlet speed, and θ is the angle difference.

[0062] In the above embodiment, as the distance between the current air outlet position and the target position approaches, the air outlet speed is gradually reduced, thereby achieving precise guidance of mosquitoes from being driven away from a long distance to staying at a close distance, and significantly improving the capture efficiency of the trapping device.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet parameters include a sweeping speed. In S204, the air outlet parameters are adjusted according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, specifically including: if the current air outlet position is closer to the target position, the sweeping speed is adjusted to be slower.

[0064] Among them, the sweeping speed refers to the speed at which the left and right wind pendulums move periodically within a specific angle range, which is used to form a dynamic airflow to repel mosquitoes.

[0065] Optionally, it can be adjusted in gears, and parameters such as the number of gears and the angles corresponding to each gear can be set according to actual needs. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner shell, the upper and lower wind swing fixed angle range (0° to 90°, with the horizontal direction as 0° and the vertical downward direction as 90°) is divided into 5 equal parts (n=5), corresponding to the angles n0 (0°, upper side), n1 (22.5°), n2 (45°), n3 (67.5°), and n4 (90°, lower side). The sweeping speed is divided into 5 gears (s=5), from s0 (0.1° / second) to s4 (1.0° / second). Perform the following steps in sequence: Step A: Control the upper and lower wind swings to the lower fixed angle n4 (90°), and perform left and right wind swing sweeping at the s4 wind speed (1.0° / second) for 10 seconds to drive mosquitoes away from the initial position. Step B: Adjust the up and down wind swing to the lower angle n3 (67.5°), and use the s3 wind speed (0.8° / second) to swing the wind left and right for 10 seconds to continue to guide the mosquitoes to move upward. Step C: Adjust the up and down wind swing to the middle angle n2 (45°), and use the s2 wind speed (0.5° / second) to swing the wind left and right for 10 seconds to reduce the airflow disturbance. Step D: Adjust the up and down wind swing to the upper angle n1 (22.5°), and use the s1 wind speed (0.3° / second) to swing the wind left and right for 10 seconds to further reduce the wind sweeping frequency. Step E: Adjust the up and down wind swing to the upper angle n0 (0°, close to the target position), and use the s0 wind speed (0.1° / second) to swing the wind left and right for 10 seconds to form a low-disturbance airflow suitable for mosquitoes to stay. Step F: After completing the above steps, loop back to step A and continue to execute to ensure continuous repelling and capture.

[0066] Alternatively, it can be a continuous adjustment. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner casing, the upper and lower wind swings are fixed in the angle range (0° to 90°, with 0° horizontally and 90° vertically downward), and the upper and lower wind swing angles move smoothly toward the target position (0°) at a fixed speed (for example, 0.5° / second). First, the current air outlet position is obtained, and then the angle difference between the current air outlet position and the target position is calculated. Finally, the sweeping speed corresponding to the angle difference is determined by a linear function, for example, v2=b×(θ / 90), where v2 is the sweeping speed, b is the upper limit of the sweeping speed, and θ is the angle difference.

[0067] In the above embodiment, as the distance between the current air outlet position and the target position approaches, the wind sweeping speed is gradually reduced, thereby achieving precise guidance of mosquitoes from being driven away from a long distance to staying at a close distance, and significantly improving the capture efficiency of the trapping device.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet parameters include the air outlet temperature. In S204, the air outlet parameters are adjusted according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, specifically including: if the current air outlet position is closer to the target position, the air outlet temperature is adjusted closer to the target temperature range.

[0069] The air outlet temperature refers to the temperature of the air flow output from the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the target temperature range is a temperature range suitable for mosquitoes to stay, for example, set to 25°C to 30°C.

[0070] Optionally, the adjustment can be performed in gears, and parameters such as the number of gears and the angles corresponding to each gear can be set according to actual needs. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner shell, the upper and lower wind swing fixed angle range (0° to 90°, with horizontal direction as 0° and vertical downward as 90°) is divided into 5 equal parts (n=5), corresponding to angles n0 (0°, upper side), n1 (22.5°), n2 (45°), n3 (67.5°), and n4 (90°, lower side). The outlet air temperature is divided into 5 levels (t=5), from t0 (25°C) to t4 (16°C), and the target temperature range is 25°C to 30°C. Perform the following steps in sequence: Step A: Control the upper and lower wind swings to the lower fixed angle n4 (90°), and blow air at the t4 outlet temperature (16°C) for 10 seconds, using the low-temperature airflow to drive mosquitoes away from the initial position. Step B: Adjust the up and down wind swings to the lower angle n3 (67.5°), and blow air at the t3 outlet temperature (18°C) for 10 seconds to continue guiding the mosquitoes to move upward. Step C: Adjust the up and down wind swings to the middle angle n2 (45°), and blow air at the t2 outlet temperature (20°C) for 10 seconds, gradually increasing the temperature to reduce the airflow stimulation. Step D: Adjust the up and down wind swings to the upper angle n1 (22.5°), and blow air at the t1 outlet temperature (22°C) for 10 seconds to further approach the target temperature range. Step E: Adjust the up and down wind swings to the upper angle n0 (0°, close to the target position), and blow air at the t0 outlet temperature (25°C, within the target temperature range) for 10 seconds to create a mild airflow environment suitable for mosquitoes to stay. Step F: After completing the above steps, loop back to step A and continue to execute to ensure continuous repulsion and capture.

[0071] Alternatively, it can be a continuous adjustment. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner casing, the upper and lower wind swings are fixed in the angle range (0° to 90°, with 0° horizontally and 90° vertically downward), and the upper and lower wind swing angles move smoothly toward the target position (0°) at a fixed speed (for example, 0.5° / second). First, the current air outlet position is obtained, and then the angle difference between the current air outlet position and the target position is calculated. Finally, the air outlet temperature corresponding to the angle difference is determined by a linear function, for example, t=c×(θ / 90), where t is the air outlet temperature, c is the upper limit of the air outlet temperature, and θ is the angle difference.

[0072] In the above embodiment, as the distance between the current air outlet position and the target position approaches, the air outlet temperature is gradually adjusted to approach the target temperature range, thereby achieving precise guidance of mosquitoes from long-distance driving to close-range staying, and significantly improving the capture efficiency of the trapping device.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet parameters include the air outlet humidity. In S204, the air outlet parameters are adjusted according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, specifically including: if the current air outlet position is closer to the target position, the air outlet humidity is adjusted closer to the target humidity range.

[0074] The air outlet humidity refers to the relative humidity of the air flow output from the air conditioner outlet. The target humidity range is a humidity range suitable for mosquitoes to stay, for example, set to 60% RH to 80% RH.

[0075] Optionally, the adjustment can be performed in gears, wherein the number of gears and parameters such as the angle corresponding to each gear can be set according to actual needs. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner shell, the upper and lower wind swing fixed angle range (0° to 90°, with horizontal direction as 0° and vertical downward as 90°) is divided into 5 equal parts (n=5), corresponding to angles n0 (0°, upper side), n1 (22.5°), n2 (45°), n3 (67.5°), and n4 (90°, lower side). The outlet humidity is divided into 5 levels (r=5), from r0 (60% RH) to r4 (30% RH), and the target humidity range is 60% RH to 80% RH. Perform the following steps in sequence: Step A: Control the upper and lower wind swing to the lower fixed angle n4 (90°), and blow air at the r4 outlet humidity (30% RH) for 10 seconds, using the low-humidity airflow to drive mosquitoes away from the initial position. Step B: Adjust the up and down wind to the lower angle n3 (67.5°), and blow air at the r3 gear with a humidity (40% RH) for 10 seconds to continue to guide the mosquitoes to move upward. Step C: Adjust the up and down wind to the middle angle n2 (45°), and blow air at the r2 gear with a humidity (50% RH) for 10 seconds, gradually increasing the humidity to slow down the airflow stimulation. Step D: Adjust the up and down wind to the upper angle n1 (22.5°), and blow air at the r1 gear with a humidity (55% RH) for 10 seconds to further approach the target humidity range. Step E: Adjust the up and down wind to the upper angle n0 (0°, close to the target position), and blow air at the r0 gear with a humidity (60% RH, in the target humidity range) for 10 seconds to create a humid airflow environment suitable for mosquitoes to stay. Step F: After completing the above steps, loop back to step A and continue to execute to ensure continuous repelling and capture.

[0076] Alternatively, it can be a continuous adjustment. Assuming that the trapping device is located on the upper side of the air conditioner inner casing, the upper and lower wind swings are fixed in the angle range (0° to 90°, with the horizontal direction as 0° and the vertical downward direction as 90°), and the upper and lower wind swing angles move smoothly toward the target position (0°) at a fixed speed (for example, 0.5° / second). First, the current air outlet position is obtained, and then the angle difference between the current air outlet position and the target position is calculated. Finally, the air outlet humidity corresponding to the angle difference is determined by a linear function, for example, r=d×(θ / 90), where r is the air outlet humidity, d is the upper limit of the air outlet humidity, and θ is the angle difference.

[0077] In the above embodiment, as the distance between the current air outlet position and the target position approaches, the air outlet humidity is gradually adjusted to approach the target humidity range, thereby achieving precise guidance of mosquitoes from long-distance driving to close-range staying, and significantly improving the capture efficiency of the trapping device.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet parameters include air outlet speed, sweeping air speed, air outlet temperature and air outlet speed. In S204, the air outlet parameters are adjusted according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, specifically including: if the current air outlet position is closer to the target position, the air outlet speed is adjusted slower, and the sweeping air speed is adjusted slower, and the air outlet temperature is adjusted closer to the target temperature range, and the air outlet humidity is adjusted closer to the target humidity range.

[0079] It is understandable that since mosquitoes are sensitive to air flow speed, disturbance, temperature and humidity, the above embodiment achieves a comprehensive guidance effect from repelling to attracting by synergistically adjusting the air outlet speed, sweeping air speed, air outlet temperature and air outlet humidity, thereby further improving the capture efficiency of the trapping device.

[0080] S205: When at least one mosquito killing condition is met, exit the mosquito killing mode.

[0081] Mosquito control conditions include the number of mosquitoes killed during the statistical period being greater than or equal to the total number of mosquitoes, the duration of the mosquito control mode reaching the threshold, and the receipt of a command to exit the mosquito control mode. The statistical period is a fixed time period used to count the number of mosquitoes killed and is used to evaluate the effectiveness of mosquito control.

[0082] Optionally, when mosquito control mode is activated, the statistical cycle is set to 30 minutes, the duration threshold is set to 60 minutes, and the mosquito control counter for the number of mosquitoes killed is initialized to 0. The completion of mosquito control can be detected by a photoelectric sensor within the trapping device or by the instantaneous sound characteristics of the electric mosquito net during mosquito control. The counter increments by 1 each time a mosquito is detected and killed. The control system also records the duration of operation since the mosquito control mode was activated. If the operation duration reaches 60 minutes and the second mosquito control condition is met, the mosquito control mode is exited. Simultaneously, user commands sent via a remote control or mobile phone application are monitored in real time. If an "exit mosquito control mode" command is received and the third mosquito control condition is met, the mosquito control mode is immediately exited. Exiting mosquito control mode can include shutting down the trapping device, restoring the air conditioner's default operating mode (e.g., cooling or ventilation), and notifying the user via the panel display or mobile phone application that "mosquito control mode has ended." By setting multiple mosquito control conditions, including the number of mosquitoes killed, the duration of operation, and manual commands, mosquito control mode can be intelligently exited, avoiding ineffective operation and significantly improving mosquito control efficiency and resource utilization.

[0083] To facilitate better implementation of the mosquito control method of this application, this application also provides a mosquito control device based on the aforementioned mosquito control method. The mosquito control device is applied to an air conditioner, and a trapping device is provided at a target location on the air conditioner. The meanings of the terms herein are the same as those in the aforementioned mosquito control method. For specific implementation details, please refer to the description in the method embodiment.

[0087] In the above embodiment, a trapping device is set at the target location of the air conditioner.

The closer the current air outlet position is to the target location, the more the corresponding air outlet parameters are aligned with the mosquito retention conditions. Compared with the traditional method of simply combining trapping devices, this method can actively guide mosquitoes to the trapping area, effectively preventing mosquitoes from escaping indoors and becoming difficult to capture, significantly improving mosquito control efficiency.

[0098] If the number of mosquitoes is greater than the threshold, the mosquito killing mode is activated.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, after adjusting the air outlet parameters according to the positional relationship between the current air outlet position and the target position, the method further includes:

[0100] When at least one mosquito killing condition is met, the mosquito killing mode is exited; wherein, the mosquito killing conditions include that the number of mosquitoes killed within the statistical period is greater than or equal to the number of mosquitoes, the running time of the mosquito killing mode reaches the time threshold, and the instruction to exit the mosquito killing mode is received.

The closer the current air outlet position is to the target location, the more closely the corresponding air outlet parameters match the mosquito retention conditions. Compared to the traditional method of simply combining trapping devices, this method can actively guide mosquitoes to the trapping area, effectively preventing mosquitoes from escaping indoors and becoming difficult to capture, significantly improving mosquito control efficiency.
