The catch bag, along with the caught mosquitoes, should be
disposed of when it is halfway full. At the latest the catch
bag should be changed once the BG-Sweetscent attractant
has ran out. It is important to change the catch bag, because
it can become clogged with dust over time and decrease the
catch rate of the BG-Mosquitaire.
1. Pull out the black intake funnel (1) with the catch bag
halfway out of the trap.
2.
Pull the catch bag (3) off of the black intake funnel (1)
and the funnel net (2), and simultaneously pull the cord
shut to close the catch bag [F12].
3. You can now dispose of the catch bag or evaluate what
you have caught.
4. Remove the funnel net from the black intake tube, and
rinse with warm water to remove the dust.
5. Replace the funnel net and catch bag onto the intake
funnel, and place it back into the trap [F4-5].
Changing the Catch Bag
When working with the BG-Mosquitaire trap and also when
monitoring the catch results, household gloves should be
worn, and the catch bag should be properly removed. This is
to ensure the captured mosquitoes that are still alive cannot
escape and cannot bite you through the net.
Use a damp cloth to clean the plastic part of the trap. Do not
use any cleaning agents, solvents, or insecticides, because
the residues from these products can have a repelling effect
for the mosquitoes and consequently reduce the catch rate
of the trap. Do not use any pointy or rough objects to clean
the trap. Only use recommended accessories and parts from
the manufacturer. The use of foreign parts can significant
-
ly reduce the catch rate of the BG-Mosquitaire trap or even
render it ineffective.
Maintenance and Care
Check the catch bag and obtain the catch results after three
days of running the trap. You need to extend the period bet-
ween controls if it has frequently rained or stormed, because
mosquitoes are not likely to have been flying and also in
spring or fall when the average temperature is below 20° C.
Evaluating the catch results: Place the properly removed
Controlling the Catch Results
catch bag in a freezer bag and store it in a freezer for 2-3
hours to kill the mosquitoes, or simply leave them out in the
sun to dehydrate. You can then empty out the contents of
the catch bag and count the captured mosquitoes. It is re-
commended to check the catch success of the trap to make
additional provisions or necessary changes of the position.
