Maintenance And Care - Biogents BG-Mosquitaire Manuel D'instruction

Controlling the catch results
Check the catch bag and obtain the catch results after three
days of running the trap. You need to extend the period
between controls if it has frequently rained or stormed
because mosquitoes are not likely to have been fl ying and
also in spring or fall when the average temperature is below
20°C.
Evaluating the Catch Results: Place the properly removed
catch bag in a freezer bag and store it in a freezer for 2-3
hours to kill the mosquitoes, or simply leave them out in the
sun to dehydrate. You can then empty out the contents of
the catch bag and count the captured mosquitoes.
It is recommended to check the catch success of the trap
to make additional provisions or necessary changes of the
position.

Maintenance and care

When working with the Mosquitaire trap and also when mo-
nitoring the catch results, household gloves should be worn
and the catch bag should be properly removed. This is to
ensure the captured mosquitoes that are still alive cannot
escape and cannot bite you through the net.
Use a damp cloth to clean the plastic part of the trap. Do
not use any cleaning agents, solvents, or insecticides be-
cause the residues from these products can have a repel-
ling eff ect for the mosquitoes and consequently reduce
the catch rate of the trap. Do not use any pointy or rough
objects to clean the trap.
Only use recommended accessories and parts from the
manufacturer. The use of foreign parts can signifi cantly
reduce the catch rate of the Mosquitaire trap or even render
it ineff ective.
