Set-Up
Bug Bag Installation:
Reach in the bug bag and fully open the drawstring
entrance before installing. This will help optimize the airflow
which will enhance the performance of your trap.
Lift clear plastic lid and lock plastic holding bracket of bug
bag into front of compartment. Close plastic lid when
finished.
Note: Fabric loops hook over plastic posts allowing bug
bag to expand to its highest capacity.
Bug bag locks into front of compartment
Trap Placement
1. Determine the direction of the prevailing wind. Check
local weather patterns if you are unsure.
2. Stand in the center of the area you are trying to protect
and look toward the prevailing wind.
3. Proper placement of the trap will be 10 meters in front
of you, within 1.5 meters of ground cover (i.e. bushes,
flowerbeds, tree line, marshbed). Ensure that trap is not
directly against any blockades such as buildings,
fences, etc.
4. It is recommended that the trap be placed in the shade.
5. Do not place trap directly above a water source
(sprinklers, hose, etc.).
6. Trap must be placed on level ground to avoid tipping or
uneven propane distribution.
7. For optimal trap placement in your yard, refer to the
instructional CD-ROM included with your trap; or, go to
www.mosquitomagnet.com to build your own yard
diagram for correct trap placement.
