Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will my Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap permanently eliminate mosquitos in the area?

No. There is no single silver-bullet to eliminate mosquitos. The best you can do is devise an

effective mosquito management plan for your area, using the best available control strategies,

including one or more Mega-Catch Mosquito Traps.

2. How often do I need to operate my Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap?

Before using your Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap note the time of day when mosquito activity

is greatest. If, for example, this is in the morning and the evening, then you should set the Trap

(using the Programmable Timer) to operate at these times. Where your mosquito problem

involves night time biters, we recommend operation of the Trap between 7pm and 11pm and

4am and 8am. If mosquito activity is all day, then you may need to operate the Trap 24 hours

per day until the mosquito population declines.

3. Is the Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap harmful to me or my pets?

No. The Mega-Catch

PREMIER Mosquito Trap can be used around humans and pets

provided it is operated in accordance with the instructions in this operation manual. Ensure

you read the Important Safety Instructions at the start of this operation manual. Do not operate

the

PREMIER Trap indoors without first removing the Octenol Fragrance Strip.

4. How many traps should I buy for around my house?

This depends on the size of your property. Generally we recommend one or two Traps depending

on the number and location of mosquito breeding areas on your property. A Mega-Catch

PREMIER Mosquito Trap can, in favorable weather conditions, attract mosquitoes from up to

120 feet away.

5. Will Mega-Catch Mosquito Traps catch biting flies?

The Mega-Catch

PREMIER Mosquito Trap will catch sandflies, black flies and biting midges

(no-see-ums) and some other biting insects.

6. Can I stop my Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap from catching moths?

The Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap incorporates a low-intensity U.V. Bulb that emits light at a

frequency that our research has shown to attract certain mosquito species. Unfortunately it

can also attract small quantities of non-target species like moths. If this is a problem, the

Fluorescent U.V. Bulb can be removed (refer to Page 17 - Maintenance and Repair of Your

Trap section).
