A trap for mosquitos or biting insects. The trap utilizes combustion to generate CO2, which is used as an attractant. An elongate gas tip holder is provided for the mosquito trap and is removable without disassembly of the mosquito trap and with one or no tools. Combustion gases are routed down a column of the mosquito trap to a diffuser located in the base. An attractant such as octenol may be mounted in the column. A circuit is also provided for indicating operation of the mosquito trap. |
