Coors Light Thirst Trap Captures Mosquitoes

Summer is in full swing, but along with the heat comes the ultimate buzzkill to your backyard chill sesh – mosquitoes. A study shows that drinking just 12 ounces of beer makes you more likely to get bitten by mosquitoes. That does not make for a chill summer day.

Coors Light, the official beer of everything unofficial, is giving mosquitoes some beer of their own so you can kill their buzz with the new Coors Light Thirst Trap, a mosquito trap designed to rid your summer days of pesky bugs.

“Warm weather, outdoor activities, and laidback chilling are some of the reasons why summer is undeniably the best season of the year. But with the good also comes the bad, and pesky mosquitoes can be a buzzkill,” says Marcelo Pascoa, vice president of marketing for the Coors Family of Brands. “The Coors Light Thirst Trap is an attachment designed to fit on a 12 ounce can of Coors Light and will lure mosquitoes into the can with no way out.”

Once you drink most of your beer, snap on your Coors Light Thirst Trap and only sacrifice a few sips of your delicious brew to the mosquitos. They can enjoy their own Coors Light while you crack open your next one, without the bother of buzzing mosquitoes. Watch the video to see how it works.

Starting  July 27, consumers can enjoy their summer mosquito-free with the Coors Light Thirst Trap, available for purchase for $5 at shop.coorslight.com. Coors Light will release a limited number of traps each day at 10 a.m. CST from July 27 through Aug. 5 (Monday-Friday only).

As the beer of everything unofficial, Coors Light is celebrating the best moments of summer, like enjoying an evening outside bug-free. In May, the brand released a new national TV spot, introduced new packaging, and is rewarding consumers with experiences, prizes and more.
