it counterclockwise until it is completely open.
The pressure can be adapted to the local and seasonal con-
ditions with the black knob on the front of the pressure regu-
lator [F11, (2)]. To increase flow rates, turn to the right. To de-
crease flow rates, turn to the left. We recommend a flow rate
of 0.5 kilograms per day (red marker on the display of the
pressure regulator) for normal and high mosquito nuisance:
• when the disturbance from the mosquitoes strongly in-
creases
• at the beginning of the high season for mosquitoes
• after flooding events
• when there are still puddles or similar collections of wa-
ter that have not dried up seven days after heavy rain-
fall. In this amount of time, mosquitoe eggs can develop
into adult mosquitoes.
With higher flow rates up to 1.5 kilograms per day, it is pos-
sible to further increase the catch rates.
