Objectives

 

The main objective of using a biting insect trap is to collapse the population of blood seeking insects in your area.

 

Scientists have developed ways to rid the world of mosquitoes...... however this would drastically damage the food chain.

 

The average life of a Mosquito is about three weeks. During this time the Mosquitoes objective is to mate, obtain blood and lay its eggs. Once this has been completed the Mosquito dies. Then the cycle starts over again. (Click for Life Cycle)

 

With the trap running 24 hours a day you will be able to trap the female mosquitoes that are looking for a blood meal so that they can lay their eggs. You cannot trap the Larvae and Pupa until they have developed into mosquitoes. The time between egg to mosquito is somewhere between six to eight weeks.

 

You will notice a difference to the amount of Mosquitos, Sandflies and Midges once the trap is running……….but it will take between six to eight weeks to significantly collapse the population in your area. The trap just canot capture the Eggs Larvae and Pupa.

You can reduce mosquito breeding around your home significantly by reducing the amount of water that is stagnating on your property.

Mosquitoes can develop in any puddle or pool of water that lasts more than 4 days. 

  • Dispose of cans, plastic containers, pots, or similar water-holding containers.
  • Drill holes in the bottom of containers that you must leave outdoors.
  • Clean clogged roof gutters.
  • Turn over plastic wading pools when not in use.
  • Turn over wheelbarrows, empty planters, or children’s toys.
  • Don’t allow water to stagnate in birdbaths. Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish.
  • Clean and chlorinate swimming pools that are not being used. Don’t forget that mosquitoes breed in the water that collects on swimming pool covers.
  • Use landscaping features or drainage tools to eliminate standing water that collects in low spots on your property.
