wooded areas and gardens). Then use these rules to site the Trap:
Rule 1: Place the Trap between the mosquito source and areas of human activity.
Rule 2: Place the Trap as far away from people and as close to the mosquito source as possible.
(Attract them to the Trap and not to you.)
Rule 3: Place the Trap upwind of the mosquito source but only if you can comply with Rule
1. (Mosquitoes sometimes use the wind to navigate.)
Rule 4: Place the Trap in a predominantly shaded area. (Most mosquitoes avoid direct sunlight.)
Rule 5: Place the Trap in a location protected from rain and strong wind. (Mosquitoes dont
fly in strong winds.)
Rule 6: If severe weather conditions are predicted then store the Trap out of the weather.
For maximum stability, point the small "U" shaped leg at the back of the Stand into the
prevailing wind and pin the base to the ground using the wire staples supplied with the Stand.
While your Mega-Catch Stand is zinc-plated and powder-coated, when not in use, we
recommend that it be stored out of the weather.
