When changing the catch bag, household gloves should be
worn.
Changing the catch bag in five steps:
1. Cover the top of the intake funnel (1), for example, with
a net, coaster or a post card. While the ventilator is still
running, pull the black intake funnel with the catch bag
halfway out of the trap (about 10 cm). Keep the catch
bag within the suction current of the ventilator so that
the mosquitoes cannot escape.
2.
Pull the catch bag (3) off of the intake funnel (1) and
funnel net (2) and set aside the intake funnel with the
still attached funnel net. Make sure to keep the catch
bag within the suction current of the ventilator. [F11]
3. Pull the cord on the catch bag shut to close the catch
bag. [F11]
4. Place the closed catch bag in the sun or in a freezer for
at least 2 hours to kill the mosquitoes.
5. Replace the new catch bag over the cleaned funnel net
by following Step 2 from the section titled ‘Assembling
the trap‘ and place it back into the opening on top of
the trap.
Cleaning, Replacing and Repositioning the White Gauze Covering:
If the gauze covering is no longer white, then it must be cleaned or replaced. The white gauze covering is responsible for
a black / white contrast on the top of the trap that is important in attracting mosquitoes over a close range. If the gauze
covering has slipped out of position or has been pushed in, then 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 improve the catch rate of the trap. You can purchase the white gauze cover
as a replacement part from our website: www.biogents.com.
When working with the catch bag, household gloves should be worn.
Cleaning the catch bag and funnel net:
If the catch bag and funnel net are not damaged then they can be cleaned and used again. Soak the material in clean water
(not over 30°C) for 15 minutes and then thoroughly rinse them in running water (not over 30°C). Do not use any soaps or
cleaning agents! Do not dry the material in a dryer and do not place them on any heaters!
