Breeding sites that can not be avoided:
2.
Always try to avoid breeding sites! Mosquitoes lay their eggs in natural and man-made containers. Therefore, empty or
completely cover rain barrels; remove old tires; empty plant saucers, buckets, and other water holding containers; keep
rain gutters clear.
If these breeding sites can not be avoided, placing a trap near such a larval habitats can be effective; however, always take
care of choosing a position that is protected from the sun and wind!
To protect your pets from mosquitoes, don't place the trap directly next to their outdoor shelters, but 2-3 m away.
Heavy rain might reduce the catch rates. Therefore, use a sheltered position, e.g., in a sparse shrub [F10] or under a tree.
Bad locations
1. Direct sunlight
(mosquitoes avoid the sun).
2. Windy spaces (winds deter the mosquitoes and affect the suction from the ventilator).
The graphic below [F11] depicts possible locations for the BG-Mosquitaire between mosquito breeding spots, mosquito res-
ting areas, and the house. Please position the trap so that no one can trip over the power cord.
