Insect Repellant Air Purifiers

The Sharp Plasmacluster Mosquito Catcher Wards Off Unwanted Bugs

— March 23, 2016 — Tech
The Sharp Plasmacluster Mosquito Catcher is an air purifier designed by Katori Kuusei that is also simultaneously an insect repellant against unwanted bugs. The device is designed to look like a humidifier with a sleek and black stand that transmits diffused air as well as a UV light traps unwanted insects to provide consumers with an uninterrupted and good night's rest.

The Plasmacluster Mosquito Catcher is a air purifier that works to clear the air of dust and pollen to provide cleaner breathing air for consumers. The device is fitted with a UV light as well, that is designed to attract mosquitos and other unwanted insects to the light. When bugs come close, they become trapped inside onto tacky adhesive paper. The purifier is ideal for homes and hot seasons when pesky bugs can keep consumers up at night.
Trend Themes
1. Dual-purpose Appliances - Creating appliances that serve multiple functions, such as air purifiers that double as insect repellants, provides convenience and value for consumers.
2. Sleeping Aid Technology - Developing innovative technologies, like UV light traps, that help create a peaceful sleep environment free from bugs, opens up opportunities to enhance sleep quality.
3. Indoor Air Quality Solutions - Designing air purifiers that not only filter dust and pollen but also repel insects addresses the growing consumer demand for healthier indoor spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - The home appliance industry can explore the development of dual-purpose products like insect repellant air purifiers, catering to the needs of health-conscious consumers.
2. Sleep Aid Products - Sleep aid product manufacturers can incorporate advanced technologies, such as UV light traps, into their offerings to create a bug-free and comfortable sleep environment.
3. Indoor Environmental Solutions - Indoor environmental solution providers can capitalize on the demand for cleaner air and bug prevention by offering integrated systems that address both needs.
