TIPS FOR A GOOD POSITIONING
Mosquitoes should be caught where they rest during the day. These places are characterized by the following factors. Please note: our outdoor products are all rainproof.
WHEN?
When the average temperature exceeds 15°C,
as mosquitoes are very active above this temperature.
As early in the year as possible
before mosquitoes breed and lay their eggs.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
For maximum efficacy make sure the trap operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (The trap has a very low power consumption of 5 watts.)
WHERE?
It is recommended to try different positions for a few days. A few meters can have a huge impact. The traps need about a week to show an effect.
Minimum 5m distance
No close proximity to people, because mosquitoes would always prefer humans if they can choose between a person and the trap
Sheltered from wind and sun
as mosquitoes don’t like these conditions.
In a damp, shady area, close to plants
where mosquitoes rest during the day.
Humidity
Near rain barrels, puddles, wetlands, fountains and drains
On the ground
When searching for a blood meal, mosquitoes prefer the area close to the ground

Please Note: Remove Breeding Sites Weekly
Eliminate as many stagnant water sources as possible, such as plant saucers, buckets and other containers likely to hold water; clean gutters. Cover rainwater harvesters completely.
Good Examples
The trap should stand protected, but still be clearly visible:

How to find the best spot?
For the placement of the trap there is a very simple technique to find the appropriate resting place of the tiger mosquitoes in your garden.
We invite you to visit the shaded areas of your garden in the hot hours of the day between 12 and 2 pm and spend a few minutes in each place, especially at the edges of your garden and near the neighbors.
There is a shady place where mosquitoes are particularly abundant and you will be bitten quickly. There you need to place the trap, keeping a minimum distance of 5 meters from the area to be protected, even if the distance from the house is greater.
It is more effective to block them directly at the resting place than to let them invade the garden.
The same principle applies to other mosquito species, except that they are active at other times of the day. You can follow the same steps, but at dusk.
