miBox: The Home Mosquito Trap

miBox is the new mosquito trap designed specifically for indoor home use. Just place the miBox somewhere in your house and you’ll never have to worry about the annoying little insects again.
Want open windows but don’t want to let mosquitos in? No problem. With miBox, the flying bloodsuckers ignore you and fly straight to the trap. No fuss, no muss.
How does it work? The miBox mosquito trap lures mosquitos much better than you can. To you, miBox doesn’t look like anything special, but to mosquitos it emits an odor they can’t resist. It’s the mosquito equivalent of a mousetrap, luring the mosquitos in with their own blood-thirsty desires and then eliminating them without any danger to you or your family.
And to make sure they get in but don’t get out, miBox breathes. It exhales mosquito perfume—carbon dioxide or CO2—and inhales the annoying bugs. This naturally occurring has is the same thing you breathe our when you exhale, and to mosquitos, it’s like a siren song. Once they get a whiff they’re powerless to stop themselves from going after it. Then, once they’re close to the myBox: bye-bye to mosquitos forever.

 


Help Us Keep Mosquitos at Bay


I invented miBox to bring effective home mosquito control to everyone, which is why I want you to help me fund my invention through my indiegogo fundraising campaign: mosquitointrouble.  I’ve also set up a website, mosquitointrouble.com, where the miBox will be available after the indigogo campaign ends.
By buying one, two, or more miBoxes, you’ll help me get this project started while keeping your home mosquito safe, no matter where you live.
Simply go to indiegogo.com and back the mosquitointrouble campaign. Whether you order one miBox for your self or 10 or more to give to friends and family, every contribution you make will help me bring this potentially lifesaving invention to people all across the globe.

buybox1.jpgmiBox one


preisschild1.jpgmiBox one is the basic version of the mosquitointrouble system. It lures mosquitos in by slowly releasing C02. The scent drives mosquitos crazy, and when they get too close, miBox traps them inside and kills  them hygienically and without any danger to you, your family, or your pets.

  • $129. The first 99 people to buy a miBox one through the mosquitointrouble fund-raising campaign save $40.
  • $169. After the first 99 are sold, the regular price of $169 will apply.

buybox2.jpgmiBox two


preisschild2.jpgmiBox two is has an arduino based microcontroller inside that gives it many more functions than the miBox one. The miBox two will tell you the last time it caught a mosquito, allow you to program it to turn it on and off when you wish, and will even let you know when it’s time to replace the CO2 cartridges so you never have to worry about a gap in protection.

  • $200. The first 99 people to purchase a miBox 2 and support the mosquitointrouble project get a discounted price that’s almost $60 lower than the regular purchase price.
  • $258. The miBox two will have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of about $258.
