Trap Placement Guidelines

The following is a guide on where the best location is for your trap.

1. Position the trap away from where you entertain and relax in order to draw the mosquitoes away from you.

2. Place the trap near where the mosquitoes are breeding (wetlands, creeks, standing water etc.).

3. Locate the trap near where mosquitoes rest (trees, shrubs, tall grass) keeping in mind the aim is to draw the mosquitoes away from people.

4. Place the trap above the suspected breeding sites and above the area you want protected when installing on undulating land.

5. The direction of prevailing winds should also be considered when choosing a site as mosquitoes sense their prey from downwind.

6. Face the trap towards the mosquito breeding and resting areas.

7. Keep the trap out of reach of children.

8. Do not place the trap in range of automatic sprinklers.
