The graphic on the left depicts a possible location
for the BG-Mosquitito between mosquito breeding
spots, mosquito resting areas, and the house. Please
position the trap so that no one can trip over the
power cord.
In conclusion:
Place the trap in a position that is lo-
cated close to their breeding spots or their resting
zones and is windless, shady and roughly one meter
from other objects (e.g. bushes).
Check the trap by looking through the window on
the side of the trap and obtain the catch results
after three days of running the trap. You need to
extend the period between controls if it has fre-
quently 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.
Dead mosquitoes accumulate at the bottom of the
trap. They can be removed during operation of the
trap by opening the bottom of the trap body and
shaking the dead mosquitoes out of the trap [F12].
The BG-Sweetscent dispenser can be used for
roughly eight weeks (two months). Afterwards, the
dispenser must be replaced to ensure the effective
-
ness of the BG-Mosquitito trap.
Therefore the trap must be maintenanced at least
every two months. In order to remove the intake
funnel and exchange the dispenser there should be
no live mosquitoes in the trap; therefore, the black
intake funnel needs to be covered so that no more

Maintenance and care
It is recommended to frequently check the catch
success of the trap to make additional provisions or
necessary changes of the position. Please note that
if you experience a decrease in the amount of mos-
quitoes being caught over time it does not mean
the trap is becoming less effective or not working
properly. In fact, it means that you are actively de-
creasing the mosquito population in your area and
there are fewer mosquitoes to be caught.
mosquitoes can be caught in the trap. The intake
funnel can be covered by either stuffing it with pa
-
per or a towel or placing a plastic bag, net, plastic
wrap, or aluminum foil [F10] over the top. Turn off
the power to the trap by either disconnecting the
power cable from the ventilator cable or unplugging
the power supply unit. Lay the trap in the sun so
that the live mosquitoes in the trap dehydrate and
die. This usually takes 48 hours.
