Breeding sites:

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in natural and man-made containers. Possible breeding sites could be:

Rain barrels, saucers under outdoor plants, black corrugated downspout extensions, and unused buckets, pots and

containers around garden sheds.

Placing a trap near 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 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

Direct sunlight

(mosquitoes avoid the sun).

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.
