WELCOME

The John W. Hock Company specializes in tools for collecting mosquitoes and
other insects. Our tools are used for scientific research, risk assessment, and
vector-borne disease control programs.



MOSQUITO AND SANDFLY TRAPS

Day or nighttime collection of mosquitoes and sandflies including specific traps
for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus or gravid Culex mosquitoes.
Battery-powered traps feature incandescent or blacklight (UV), downdraft or
updraft fans, CO2 release and photocell control.


PROGRAMMABLE COLLECTION & DROPLET SAMPLERS (IMPINGERS)

Segregate the catch into distinct time periods with programmable collection
controlled by an advanced timer.

Use our Aerosol Droplet Samplers to accurately calibrate spraying equipment.

 


ASPIRATORS

Collect mosquitoes and other larger species with our Improved Prokopack
(battery-powered) or CDC-designed (battery-powered) backpack aspirators. For
manually aspirating mosquitoes and sandflies in the lab and field, use our mouth
aspirator with optional HEPA filter.


BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND ACCESSORIES

Keep your trap running at top performance with the
right battery and charger along with our extensive battery tutorial. Customize a
trap for your application with our many accessories, spare parts, and options.


OTHER ENTOMOLOGICAL TRAPS

Proven insect flight collection traps made from sun-resistant polyester with
double or triple sewn seams. Models include The Standard 6-Meter Malaise
Trap, The Migration Trap, and The Light-Weight Townes Trap.

The Adult Mayfly Updraft Blacklight (UV) Trap Model 3519 was developed for the
capture of adult mayflies (Ephemeroptera) using a four-watt blue-black light
(UV).


LATEST NEWS


NEW UVA-LED LIGHT TRAP

The UVA-LED Light Trap (Model 1612) is based on two years of research into the
use of near ultra-violet radiation (UVA, peak wavelength of ca. 361 nm) for the
attraction of hematophagous insects using light emitting diodes (LEDs).  This
research led to the development of the Stealth Trap (Model 2014) for our US
Department of Defense and now to a civilian version, the model 1612.  The 1612
uses 6.3 VDC and consumes only 300 mAmps. The trap has a almost twice the
runtime of the Miniature Incandescent Light Trap Model 1012 and three times the
runtime of the Blacklight (UV) Model 1212. 




NEW LED REPLACEMENT LAMP (PN 3.28) FOR ANY TRAP USING A CM-44 OR CM-47

The white LED lamp with miniature bayonet base uses 6.3 VDC and only draws 20
mAmps.  This is in marked contrast to the 150 and 250 mAmps for the CM-47 and
CM-44, respectively.  Extremely long life and cool operating temperature.  Can
be used in the following trap models: 512, 512.MIL, 1012, 1012.GATE, 1012.co2,
and 1012.MIL.  If used in a CDC light trap, PN: 512 running on a 6-volt 12
amp-hr battery, run time would be increased from 27 to 45 hours. If used in the
New Standard Miniature Light Trap, PN: 1012, run time would be increased from 22
hours (CM-44) to 53 hours (PN 3.20). Other colors available are Green:  525 nm
(nano-meters), Blue:  473 nm,  Yellow:  592 nm, and Red:  626 nm.




NEW PRODUCT: BATTERY-POWERED MOSQUITO AND SAND FLY ASPIRATOR

The design and testing of our new Battery-Powered Mosquito and San Fly Aspirator
Model 419 was completed in April of 2018. This aspirator can be used to move
mosquitoes and sand flies between cages in the laboratory; it can be used in
field collections and to conduct human landing rate counts in the field. Suction
is provided by a cooling fan which operates at 5-6 VDC. Three 7-dram vials
fitted with fine mesh stainless steel cloth for air flow and snap-on lids are
included with the aspirator. The polycarbonate intake tube is 4 inches long with
an ID of 0.375 inches. The aspirator comes with a waterproof battery case and is
supplied with four alkaline AA batteries. The aspirator also includes a set of
alligator leads so the unit can be powered using any size or type of 6-volt
battery, e.g., our 6 VDC 12 Amp Hr gel cell (PN: 2.30) or our waterproof Pelican
4 D-Cell Battery Holder (PN: 1.50). Also included is an extension cord and a
universal power supply (wall adaptor) that can operate on 100-240 VAC and 50/60
Hz mains. All connectors are either male or female 5.5/2.1 mm barrel connectors.




RECOMMENDED TRAPS FOR THE VECTORS OF ZIKA VIRUS

Prior to 2015, Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreaks were confined to Africa, Southeast
Asia, and the Pacific Islands.  In May of 2015  the Pan American Health
Organization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the first confirmed ZIKV
infections in Brazil.  Currently, outbreaks are occurring in many countries in
the Americas.  As of 30 January 2016, ZIKV has been reported from Barbados,
Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French
Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique,
Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Saint Martin, Suriname, U.S. Virgin
Islands, and Venezuela.  CDC and PAHO/WHO are forecasting that ZIKA will
continue to spread in the Americas.  The John W. Hock Company makes many traps
that are useful and specific for the vectors of ZIKA.  Click here for more
information on Zika virus and recommendations for traps and aspirators.
