1. Breeding sites that can not be avoided:
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 8-10 ft away.
Heavy rain might reduce the catch rates. Therefore, use a sheltered position, e.g., in a sparse shrub [F10] or under a tree. If
you do not find a naturally sheltered position for the trap, it would be best to position the trap under a roofed area or a self-
made shelter to keep it out of direct rainfall.
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 good and bad locations for the BG-Mosquitaire between mosquito breeding spots, mosquito
resting areas, and the house. Please position the trap so that no one can trip over the power cord.
