Cleaning, replacing, and repositioning the white gauze co-
vering:
If the gauze covering is no longer white, it must be cleaned
or replaced. The white gauze covering is responsible for a
black-and-white contrast on the top of the trap that is impor-
tant for attracting mosquitoes over a close range. If the gauze
covering has slipped out of position, or has been pushed in,
it needs to be repositioned.
New, clean gauze allows air currents to easily flow out of the
trap from the fan and increases the contrast between the
black intake funnel and the white gauze. Both help to im-
prove the catch rate of the trap. You can purchase the white
gauze cover as a replacement part from our webshop
(eu-shop.biogents.com).
Cleaning the catch bag and funnel net:
If the catch bag and funnel net are not damaged, they can be cleaned and used again. Soak the material in clean water (not
over 30 °C / 86 °F) for 15 minutes, and then thoroughly rinse them in running water (not over 30 °C / 86 °F). Do not use any
soaps or cleaning agents! Do not dry the material in a dryer, and do not place them on any heaters!
1. Remove the intake funnel and catch bag by following
the steps described in ‘Changing the Catch Bag’, and
place them aside [F17].
2.
Detach the top part of the lid (5) from both inner faste
-
ners by pressing the fasteners on the bottom part of the
lid (6) inwards until the top part of the lid pops up, and
place it to the side [F18-F20].
3.
Remove the gauze (4) and properly clean it, or if it is
extremely dirty or damaged, replace it with a new one
[F21].
4. Make sure the gauze is properly positioned so that there
are no openings or creases in the gauze and lock the top
part of the lid back into place. Also make sure that all
seven corners of the top lid are locked in properly [F22].
5. Place the intake funnel with the attached funnel net and
catch bag back into the trap.
To clean the gauze, follow the instructions on how to clean
the catch bag and funnel net; however, do not clean the
white gauze together with the black catch bag and funnel
net, because the colors could possibly bleed. Do not use any
soaps or cleaning agents, because the residues could have
repelling effects for the mosquitoes.
