The bug bag should also be discarded prior to storing the trap.

at the bottom to keep out dust, spider webs and other debris.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you use the Quick Clear
adapter before seasonal storage to avoid build-up
of contaminants during off-season (see page 13).

For Best Results (unit must run for 24 hours/day)

significant reduction in the mosquito population in
7-10 days. Allow 4 weeks to significantly reduce the
mosquito population in your yard.
• Allow trap to cool for 5 minutes before re-start.
• Never spray insecticide in or around trap.
• Trap can be left running in the rain.
• If using lime or fertilizer compounds, be sure to shut
down the trap first to prevent dust or fine mist from
being drawn into trap and clogging bug bag.

Propane Tank Changing Time
When attaching the regulator knob to a tank after a tank
change, be sure to fully tighten the regulator knob onto the
tank. No need to use tools, but do turn the knob as far as
possible by hand. When this is done, loosen the knob 1/4 turn,
then re-tighten to maximize seal.
The purpose for this is to fully engage the regulator onto the
tank. If the regulator is not fully engaged, the flow of gas
may be restricted to the point where the trap will show a gas
empty code. If this occurs, press the off button, close the tank
valve, and remove the regulator from the tank. Re-attach the
regulator and try again.
