← Trap overview

Our intake traps imitate a human and attract mosquitoes in their search for a blood meal through the use of attractants. Therefore, the trap should not be placed in close proximity to humans to avoid bites. So do not place the trap right next to your table. Mosquitoes always prefer a human in their search for a blood meal, but not if the traps catch them first.

The mosquitoes should be caught where their resting places are. These are characterized by the following factors.

Particularly popular with mosquitoes are places protected from wind, rain, and sun near wood piles, rain barrels, puddles, wetlands, or places with increased humidity such as fountains and drains.

So the trap should stand somewhat protected, but still be clearly visible. Because in addition to the mosquito attractant, the design and color contrast of the trap also play an important role in attracting mosquitoes.

It is recommended to try different positions for a few days. A few meters can make a big difference. The traps need about a week to show an effect.

The trap should be in operation for 24 hours to keep the catch rate constant and significantly reduce the mosquito population, even when you are not in the garden. The power consumption is very low and is about 4 watts.

Completely empty or cover water containers such as rain barrels, flower pots, watering cans and other containers filled with water such as coasters or buckets. Clean out gutters on a regular basis. This will prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs and producing offspring.

Mosquitoes avoid windy and sunny places because they are very light and dry out quickly. They also avoid heavy rain and tend to stay in naturally sheltered areas. Therefore, the following factors should be avoided when positioning:

Our products are all rainproof. However, we do not recommend leaving the traps in heavy rain. Rain can affect the airflow by clogging the pores in the lid. This can reduce the intake flow into the trap and therefore the catch rate.
