When Not In Use
If the unit is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the

stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

The LED light will go out and the fan will continue running
until trap is cool. Close the propane tank valve
and disconnect regulator.
Any open Mosquito Magnet
®
Octenol or Lurex³ cartridges
should be removed and discarded. See cartridge label for
disposal instructions. The bug bag should also be discarded
prior to storing the trap.
STORAGE:
The trap should be stored indoors in a garage
or shed in the off-season. Cover trumpet to prohibit insects
from nesting. Cover unit with trap cover available at
www.mosquitomagnet.com or with a tarp and secure tightly
at the bottom to keep out dust, spider webs and other debris.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you use the Quick Clear
adapter before seasonal storage to avoid build-up
of contaminants during off-season (see page 11).
For Best Results (unit must run for 24 hours/day)
• Your trap will begin capturing immediately with
significant reduction in the mosquito population in
7-10 days. Allow 4 weeks to significantly reduce the
mosquito population in your yard.
• Allow trap to cool for 5 minutes before re-start.
• Never spray insecticide in or around trap.
• Trap can be left running in the rain.
• If using lime or fertilizer compounds, be sure to shut
down the trap first to prevent dust or fine mist from
being drawn into trap and clogging bug bag.
Warning: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or property
