When Not In Use
If the unit is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the

if the cylinder is disconnected and removed. Cylinders must
be stored outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Push ON/OFF switch to OFF position to shut down the
trap. The LED light will go out and the fan will continue
running until trap is cool. Close the propane tank valve
and disconnect regulator. Remove the 4 "C" batteries
and discard.
Any open Mosquito Magnet® Octenol or Lurex3
cartridges should be removed and discarded. See
cartridge label for disposal instructions. The bug bag
should also be discarded prior to storing the trap.
STORAGE: The trap should be stored indoors in a garage
or shed in the off-season. Cover trumpet to prohibit
insects from nesting. Cover unit with trap cover or with a
tarp and secure tightly 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 10).
For Best Results (unit must run for 24 hours/day)
• Your trap will begin capturing immediately with
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, but do not place
trap directly above a water source (sprinklers, hose,
etc.).
• 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.

or maintenence can cause injury or property damage. Read the
