Placement
Your Mosquito PowerTrap is site specific and place-
ment is critical for successful results.
Your Flowrtron Mosquito PowerTrap emits a plume of
octenol-enhanced carbon dioxide which mosquitoes
follow in their search for a blood meal. Mosquitoes fly
up-wind toward the source of the plume in their
attempt to locate a host. Since the direction of the
plume is dependent upon the direction of the wind,
your unit should be positioned so it’s
attractant outlet faces downwind.
Female mosquitoes also feed on moisture laden nec-
tar and fruit juices when not in search of a blood
meal. They are usually found in shade; around flo w-
ers, trees, bushes and other vegetation; and adjacent
to standing water.
For best results locate your unit 20 to 40 feet
(6 -12 m) away from areas of human activity in a loca-
tion near (but not in) bushes, wooded areas, or adja-
cent to standing water (other than swimming pools).
Select a location which will result in the carbon diox-
ide plume blowing toward the area where mosquitoes
are likely to hide and emerge. A proper location will
ensure that mosquitoes encounter the plume and
fo l l ow it up-wind to the Flow t ron Mosquito
Pow e r Trap before they detect the presence of
