The trap does not damage the insects, but identification is complicated if the insects stay
in the trap for more than 3 days or if they get wet.

Note: You should attach the catch bag to the catch pipe with the seam facing towards the outside in
order to avoid mosquitoes getting stuck in the seam while emptying out the catch bag.

Operating the BG-Sentinel with a large catch bag

The black catch bag, which is located above the suction fan, may not be appropriate for pest insects
such as house flies or for mass trapping operations. In these cases a larger catch bag should be
attached below the fan as shown in Fig. 6 and 7. This positioning does not allow insects to escape
by crawling from the trap as long as the fan is switched on.

In the assembled trap, the white catch bag lies on the bottom of the trap and the black plastic catch
pipe is inserted without any attached bag.
