Important Information
Your insect trap operates 24 hours a day to help reduce the nuisance of mosquitoes. It attracts
female mosquitoes that are seeking a blood meal to nourish their eggs. By removing these
females, you also remove their eggs.
• It may take up to 3-4 weeks to see a noticeable reduction in the nuisance. Be patient.
• Begin operating your insect trap once low temperatures remain above 50º F.
• To reduce and maintain mosquito populations, it is important for your insect trap to operate
continuously.
• Always contact our Customer Care Team at 1.888.753.7137 before returning product to

Mosquito Facts
• About 3,000 species of mosquitoes have been identified on a worldwide basis.
Approximately 150 are known to exist in North America.
• There are approximately 25 known “human nuisance species” of mosquitoes.
• Most adult mosquitoes only have a life span of 2-4 weeks.
• Only female mosquitoes bite.
• Mosquitoes are very effective at reproducing. Attracting, trapping and killing just one
female mosquito at the start of mosquito season can prevent the birth of up to 25,000
more mosquitoes that season alone!
Controlling Mosquitoes
In addition to properly installing and using a insect trap, you can reduce mosquito breeding
around your home significantly by reducing the amount of water that is stagnating on your
property. Be aware that mosquitoes can and will develop in any puddle or pool of water that
lasts more than 4 days.
• Dispose of cans, plastic containers, pots, or similar water-holding containers that have
accumulated on your property.
• Drill holes in the bottom of containers that you must leave out of doors – trash cans,
recycling bins, etc.
• Clean clogged roof gutters on an annual basis.
• Turn over plastic wading pools when not in use.
• Turn over wheelbarrows, empty planters, or children’s toys when not in use.
• Don’t allow water to stagnate in birdbaths.
• Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish.
• Clean and chlorinate swimming pools that are not being used. Don’t forget that
mosquitoes breed in the water that collects on swimming pool covers.
• Use landscaping features or drainage tools to eliminate standing water that collects in low
spots on your property.
